Name: __________________________________ Date: __________ Period: _____ TOC # _____ The Hierarchy of Life A cell is the smallest functional unit that can perform all of life’s tasks. A living organism may consist of a single cell or a huge number of cells. In multicellular organisms, cells are specialized and depend on other cells to maintain life. The specialization and interdependence of cells contribute to a characteristic hierarchy of life, with each level defined by its structure and function. List the sequence of increasing organization of atoms in living organisms. Example 1. 2. 3. Plant Example 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Animal Example After discussion, answer the following questions. 1. Cells are alive, but not all living cells are organisms. Explain how this is true. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.

What organelles are found in cells? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. What is the difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. How many organisms have prokaryotic cells? How many have eukaryotic cells? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6. How are paramecium cells and sheep cells the same and how are they different? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. How do cells in animals such as mammals and other vertebrates get the resources they need to survive? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8.
