Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the basic unit of life, which is the cell. Cells are the smallest structural and functional units in living organisms.

Next, recognize that tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. For example, muscle tissue is made up of muscle cells.

Understand that organs are composed of multiple types of tissues that work together to perform complex functions. For instance, the heart is an organ made up of muscle tissue, connective tissue, and more.

Learn that organ systems consist of multiple organs that work together to perform a broader range of functions necessary for survival. For example, the cardiovascular system includes the heart and blood vessels.

Finally, realize that an organism is a complete living entity capable of independent existence, composed of various organ systems working in harmony. In humans, the organism is the entire human body.
