The Hierarchy of Life:
1. Atom: The basic unit of matter.
2. Molecule: Two or more atoms bonded together (e.g., water, DNA).
3. Organelle: A specialized structure within a cell (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria).
4. Cell: The fundamental unit of life, containing organelles.
5. Tissue: A group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function (e.g., muscle tissue, nervous tissue).
6. Organ: A structure composed of different tissues that work together (e.g., heart, brain, stomach).
7. Organ System: A group of organs that work together to carry out a major bodily function (e.g., digestive system, circulatory system).
8. Organism: A complete living being made up of organ systems.
9. Population: A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area.
10. Community: A group of different populations living in the same area.
11. Ecosystem: A community of living organisms and their physical environment.
12. Biome: A large-scale ecosystem characterized by similar climate and vegetation (e.g., desert, rainforest).
13. Biosphere: The entire region of Earth inhabited by living organisms.
Focusing on a multicellular organism, the correct sequence is:
1. Cell
2. Tissue
3. Organ
4. Organ System
5. Organism
