Non-living, may be within or made by a living organism.
Abiotic
Living. Matter is considered ______ if it was ever alive at some point in time
Biotic
Smallest level. The basic unit of matter. Consists of a dense nucleus surrounded by electrons.
Atom
Second level. A chemical structure consisting of at least two atoms held together by a chemical bond.
Molecule
Third level. Biologically important molecules that are technically polymers. Example: DNA.
Macromolecule
Fourth level. The fundamental unit of life. Essentially a tiny droplet of water and other molecules
enclosed by a fluid "skin" or membrane. The smallest and simplest entity that possesses all the
characteristics of life.

Fifth level. Compartments inside the cell that contain specific groups of macromolecules and carry out
specific cellular functions. One of these organelles is the nucleus; it encloses the DNA within the cell.
Organelle
Sixth level. Single-celled life form. Consists of just one cell and include unicellular organisms such as
bacteria and protists.
Microorganism
Seventh level. Formed when similar cells work together to fulfill the same detailed function.
Tissue
Eighth level. Collections of tissues that work together to carry out a common general function. Present
not only in higher level animals but also in plants.
Organ
Ninth level. Consists of functionally related organs. Mammals have many.
Organ System
Tenth Level. Individual living entities that survive and reproduce as a unit. For example, each tree in a
forest.
Organism

Eleventh level. Consists of all the individuals of a species living within a specific area.
Population
Twelfth level. Populations can interact with each other in positive and negative ways, and together they
form this.
Community
Thirteenth level. Consists of all the living things in a particular area together with the abiotic, or
nonliving, parts of that environment.
Ecosystem
Fourteenth level. The highest level of organization in living systems. The collection of all ecosystems on
Earth. Includes all habitable zones on the planet, including land, soil, and rocks to a great depth in the
Earth's crust; water and ice; and the atmosphere to a great height.
Biosphere
Characteristics of a system that are not present in any of its component parts.
Emergent Properties
The scientific study of life and is the branch of science that studies living organisms and the way
organisms interact with their environments.
Biology

Homeostasis
Any matter an organism needs but cannot make for itself.
Nutrient
The capacity to do work or to make a change in the location, temperature, or structure of matter. Does
not have mass and it does not take up space, but it can be measured in terms of what it does.
Energy
An increase in size.
Growth
Structure and function change in an orderly way as an organism passes through its life cycle. An
individual's pattern of _______ is partly determined by genetic instructions.
Development
Occurs when an individual organism passes on its genetic information to a newly independent organism,
or offspring.
Reproduction
A scientific theory that explains how and why life changes over time. Provides the explanation for why

all living organisms share profound similarities, and yet, the life forms on our planet are so incredibly
diverse.
