Verified step by step guidance

Understand the levels of biological organization, which describe the hierarchy of complex biological structures and systems that define life.

Start with the smallest unit of life, which is the 'Cell'. Cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms.

Next, recognize that 'Tissues' are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

Following tissues, 'Organs' are structures composed of two or more tissue types that work together to perform specific, complex functions.

After organs, 'Organ Systems' are groups of organs that work together to perform major functions or meet physiological needs of the body.

Finally, the 'Organism' is the complete living entity that can function independently, representing the highest level of organization.
