How Are We Organized?
Organelles are located in our cells
(basic building block)
How Are We Organized?
All cells start out being able to become any type of
cell (ie. Heart cell, brain cell, etc) but in the very
early stages become specialized
The only cells that do not specialize are our stem
cells
How Are We Organized?
Cells of the same type come together
to form tissues
All these cells have developed to
perform the same function!
How Are We Organized?
Tissues come together to form organs
How Are We Organized?
Organs come together to form body
systems
Ex. Digestive, Respiratory and
Circulatory
How Are We Organized?
The body systems come together to
form the whole body
How Are We Organized?
A group who can mate with each
other to produce viable offspring form
a species
Ex. All humans are of the same species
How Are We Organized?
A group of individuals of the same
species living together in the same
area is a population
Ex. A pack of grey wolves in Yellowstone
national park
How Are We Organized?
And when A group of populations
come together to live in an area at the
same time it is a Community
Ex. All the people, birds and other
animals that live in Cole Harbour
