Organisation of Living Matter
These are highly organised and complex organisms.
Living Things
The basic structural, functional and genetic unit of the living things.
Cell
The clusters of cells with the same morphology and function.
Tissues
The combination of organs that share the necessary tasks to perform the functions of nutrition, interaction and reproduction.
Systems
These are smaller particles on Earth, such as electrons, neutrons and protons.
Subatomic
The membranous vesicle with the genetic material (DNA) necessary to control the vital functions.
Nucleus
The combination of tissues to perform complex functions.
Organs
The system that is responsible for preparing ingested foods so the cells can use them.
Digestive System
These are living things made of more than one eukaryotic cell.
Multicellular organism
Function: obtaining energy from the cell.
Mitochondria
A type of connective tissue that accumulates fats to act as an energy reserve.
Adipose Tissue
The system that shares nutrients and oxygen between cells and collects unwanted substances produced by cells.
Circulatory System
A group of individuals from the same species living in a place.
Population
Function: synthesis of proteins.
Ribosomes
A type of tissue that is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses.
Nervous Tissue
The system that secretes substances (hormones) that perform different tasks in the organism.
Endocrine System
These are compartments that are part of the cell, with different functions.
Cellular Organelles
The free passage of water from the more diluted to the more concentrated medium.
Osmosis
A type of tissue that is responsible for the contraction and, as a result, movement of organs and the organism.
Organs that capture information for the organism.
Sense Organs
