Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of biological organization: Biological organization refers to the hierarchy of complex biological structures and systems that define life using a reductionistic approach.

Identify the basic unit of life: The cell is the smallest unit of life and is considered the building block of all living organisms.

Recognize the next level of organization: Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

Determine the subsequent level: Organs are structures composed of two or more tissue types that work together to perform specific, complex functions.

Identify the higher levels of organization: Organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform major functions or meet physiological needs of the body, and organisms are individual living entities that survive and reproduce as a unit.
