Here's a breakdown of the hierarchical organization in biology:
* Cells: The basic unit of life.
* Tissues: Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function (e.g., muscle tissue, nervous tissue).
* Organs: Structures made up of different tissues that work together to perform a complex function (e.g., heart, lungs, stomach).
* Organ Systems: Groups of organs that work together to carry out major bodily functions (e.g., digestive system, circulatory system, nervous system).
* Organism: A complete living being made up of all its organ systems.
