Organization of Life
The first level of organization for living organisms is this pre-biotic (non-living) structure.
Atom
A group of one species interacting with each other in a particular environment. An example: A herd of steers grazing in a field.
Population
The science of classifying things, such as organisms.
Taxonomy
The first step in the Scientific Method.
Observation
The ability to do work.
Energy
When atoms combine in specific ways they form.
Molecules
Birds, insects, and plants interacting in a meadows community is an example of this organizational level of life.
Community
These are the modern divisions used today to classify organisms.
Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
These are the six fundamental steps of the scientific method.
Observation, hypothesis, prediction, experimentation, analysis, and conclusion.
Energy in position. For example: A rock at the top of a hill.
Potential Energy
Structures found inside of a cell that function like organs. There name means "little organs."
Organelles.
This organizational level of life is only one type of species interacting with each other, while this organizational level of life is more than one types of species interacting with each other.
Population, Community
Taxonomy includes both living and non-living organism. Non-living organisms are typically referred to as being.
Extinct
Data can be either measurable or not measurable in nature. These two types of data are called these names by scientists: Not measurable, Measurable
Qualitative (Data), Quantitative (Data)
Energy in Motion. For example: A rock rolling down the hill.
Kinetic Energy
These are made from cells acting together. In humans they include epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous types.
Tissue
When living organism of multiple species interacting with each other, and with the physical world that they live in (such as rainfall, weather, and sunlight) is what Organizational Level.
Ecosystem
You randomly pick two organisms from a specific Class, and then you randomly pick out two organisms from a Family. The organisms will be more closely related in this taxonomy group.
Family
A scientific hypothesis that has been confirmed so often that scientists have a lot of confidence in its accuracy is considered a
Theory
(Scientific Theory)
In living organisms energy may be found in these five forms:
Chemical
Mechanical
Electrical
Heat
Radiant
This is an individual form of life.
Organism
There are 7 terrestial (tundra, coniferous forest, temperature forest, rainforests, scrublands, grasslands, and deserts) and 3 aquatic (lakes, coastal, and ocean) forms of this Organizational Level.
Biomes
A bear's full taxonomy is Domain Eukaryota, Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia, Order Carnivora, Family Ursidae, Genus Ursus, Species Ursus arctos. This information tells us that a bear has more in common with a dog than a human.
Order Carnivora
If a theory stands the test of time and no exceptions are found over a long period of time that theory is called a
