1. What are the levels of organization in the structure of plants and animals in order
from the simplest to the most complex?
2. What is a cell membrane and what function does it serve in the cell? Is it found in
plant cells, animal cells or both?
3. What is a cell wall and what function does it serve in the cell? Is it found in plant

.
Every living organism is made of
one or more cells. The cell is the
basic unit of structure and
function and is the smallest unit
that performs life functions.
Cells basic unit of life
-Every living organism is
made of one or more
cells.
Tissue composed of many cells
carrying out similar functions
Organs Made of tissues with similar
structures and functions
Organs systems Made of many
organs carrying out similar functions
