  • The biosphere consists of all life on earth and all the places where life exists.
  • An ecosystem consists of all living things in a particular area along with the nonliving components of the environment with which life interacts with.
  • The North American mountain is an example of an ecosystem.
  • A biological community is the array of organisms inhabiting a particular ecosystem. They may be enormous animals or microorganisms.
  • The life forms in a biological community belongs to a species, a group whose members can only reproduce with other members of the group.
  • A population consists of all the individuals of a species living within the bounds of a specified area that interbreeds with each other. 
  • An organism is an individual living thing. Just like bacterium, meadows, and fungus. 
  • A unicellular organism exists only as a single cell- like amoeba.
  • A multicellular organism exists as a group of cells to become an individual organism.
  • An organ system is a group of organs that work to perform one or more functions.
  • The organ is the architecture of a complex organism that has specific functions within the body.
  • The tissues are a group of cells that work together to perform a specialized function.
  • The cells is the life’s fundamental unit
  • Organelles are the functional component present in cells, similar to a chloroplast.
  • Molecules are the chemical structure consisting of two or more units called atoms
  • Cell differentiation is the process of forming specialized tissues with different functions- or simply emergent properties.
  •  Systems biology is the exploration of emergent properties that analyzes and studies the interactions among its parts.
  • Emergent properties are properties that become apparent and result from various interacting components within a system but are properties that do not belong to the individual components themselves.
