Download The Hierarchy of Biological Organization

Bio Bingo 1-5
1. a group of localized tissues in the body which perform
similar functions
2. novel characteristics that appear at each level of the
biological hierarchy as a result of interactions among
components at the lower levels
3. a property arising at the cellular or organism level of
organization
4. natural unit consisting of all plants, animals and microorganisms in an area functioning together with all of the
physical factors of the environment
5. a property arising at the community level of organization
Bio Bingo 6-10
6. smallest unit of an organism that is classified as
living
7. a property arising at the ecosystem level of
organization
8. branch of biology that studies the structure and
design of living things
9. collection of inter-breeding organisms of a
particular species
10. a property arising at the population level of
organization
Bio Bingo 11-15
11. a single unit that displays all the properties of life,
may be unicellular or multicellular
12. branch of biology that studies the mechanical,
physical, and biochemical functions of living things
13. basic unit of matter consisting of a dense, central
nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively
charged electrons
14. can be described as the zone on Earth where life
dwells
15. collection of populations of different species,
interacting with one another
Bio Bingo 16-20
16. group of biological cells that perform a similar
function
17. group of glands that regulate the release chemical
messengers called hormones into the bloodstream
18. group of organs performing related functions
19. specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific
function
20. stable, electrically neutral group of at least two
atoms in a definite arrangement held together by
very strong (covalent) chemical bonds.
Emergent properties
• Novel properties that appear at each
level of the biological hierarchy as a
result of interactions among
components at the lower levels
• “The whole is greater than the sum of
its parts.”
Structure and function are
correlated at all levels of biological
organization
