From Cells To Organisms: Organisation of Life
Organisms
Organisation of Life
Lesson Objectives
1. Define: Cell, Tissue, organ, and organ
system (DK).
2. Describe two types of tissue (DK)
3. Describe two types of organs (DK)
4. Create a flow chart illustrating
relationship between cells, tissues, organs,
systems and organisms (PK)
Levels of Organization
Cell—Basic unit of structure and function in
organisms.
Some organisms, like bacteria and protists, are
unicellular (made entirely of one cell).
Some organisms, like fungi, plants, and
animals, are multicellular (made of many
cells).
In multicellular organisms, cells exhibit cell
specialisation. They take on specific jobs and
look different from each other.
The cells also exhibit division of labor. They
split up the work of the organism.
Levels of Organization
Tissues—Groups of similar cells that work
together to perform a specific function.
4 major tissue types in animals
Epithelialtissue
Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Nervous tissue
Levels of Organization
Organs—structures made of different types of
tissues that work together to perform a
specific function.
Examples
Heart
Lungs
Stomach
Small intestine
Liver
Large Intestine
Gall Bladder
Plant Roots
Plant Stems
Plant Leaves
Levels of Organization
Organ Systems—Groups of organs that
work together to perform a specific
function.
Examples:
Digestive system
Circulatory system
Respiratory system
Nervous system
Muscular system
Skeletal system
Integumentary system (skin)
Vascular system in plants
Levels of Organization
Organism—A complete, individual living
thing.
Examples:
A single person
A single plant
A single bacterium
A single protist

Organization of Vertebrate
Body
Organs are combinations of different tissues
that form a structural and functional unit

Organ Systems
Thefive main organ systems that we will
be focusing on in this unit are:
The Respiratory System
The Circulatory System
The Reproductive System
The Digestive System
The Excretory System

Respiratory System

Excretory System
The system
responsible for
the removal of
excess water
and waste from
cell reactions in
the body
Reproductive System
The male and female reproductive systems are
responsible for the production of sperm and ova (eggs),
the fertilisation of ova by sperm, and the gestation of a
fertilised ova into a foetus (unborn baby)
