 Cells is the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all

living organisms and the tissues of the body. A cell has three main parts: the
cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm. The cell membrane surrounds
the cell and controls the substances that go into and out of the cell.

 Tissue is a group of cells that have similar structure and that function
together as a unit. A non-living material, called the intercellular matrix, fills the
spaces between the cells. This may be abundant in some tissues and minimal in
others.
 Organs in biology, an organ (from the Latin "organum" meaning an instrument or
tool) is a collection of tissues that structurally form a functional unit
specialized to perform a particular function. Your heart, kidneys, and lungs
are examples of organs.

 The 11 organ systems include the integumentary system, skeletal system,


muscular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, digestive system,
nervous system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, urinary system, and
reproductive systems.
 An organism refers to a living thing that has an organized structure, can react to
stimuli, reproduce, grow, adapt, and maintain homeostasis. An organism would,
therefore, be any animal, plant, fungus, protist, bacterium, or archaeon on earth.
These organisms may be classified in various ways. One of the ways is by
basing upon the number of cells that make it up. The two major groups are
the single-celled (e.g. bacteria, archaea, and protists) and
the multicellular (animals and plants). Organisms can also be classified
according to their subcellular structures.
 community, also called biological community, in biology, an
interacting group of various species in a common location. For
example, a forest of trees and undergrowth plants, inhabited
by animals and rooted
in soil containing bacteria and fungi, constitutes a
biological community.

 An ecosystem is an ecological community comprised of biological, physical,


and chemical components, considered as a unit. NOS scientists monitor,
research, and study ecosystem science on many levels. They may monitor entire
ecosystems or they may study the chemistry of a single microbe.
 The biosphere is made up of the parts of Earth where life exists. The
biosphere extends from the deepest root systems of trees, to the dark
environment of ocean trenches, to lush rainforests and high mountaintops.
Scientists describe Earth in terms of spheres.
