This document discusses levels of biological organization from unicellular to multicellular organisms. It describes prokaryotes as unicellular organisms without nuclei and eukaryotes as unicellular organisms with nuclei and organelles. Multicellular organisms are made of many eukaryotic cells that differentiate and specialize in structure and function. Through cell differentiation, multicellular organisms develop from a single fertilized egg cell into diverse cell types organized into tissues, organs, and organ systems that work interdependently.

Introduces levels of organization in biology, focusing on unicellular and multicellular organisms.
Discusses unicellular organisms, characteristics of life, and distinguishing between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Describes multicellular organisms, cell differentiation, and the origin from a single fertilized egg.
Explains the process of cell differentiation and specialization, leading to various cell types.
Describes animal stem cells, highlighting differences between embryonic and adult stem cell functions.
Discusses plant stem cells, termed unspecialized cells, and their role in growth and development.
Defines tissues and organs, explaining how groups of tissues perform specific functions in plants.
Introduces plant organ systems, the interaction between systems, and the dependency of organs on each other.
Summarizes the key concepts covered in the presentation and outlines homework for further practice.
Organization of Unicellular
Organisms
Dounicellular organisms have all the
characteristics of life?
(i.e. respond to environment, get rid of waste, grow,
reproduce)
4.
Prokaryotes
• Without amembrane
bound nucleus
• Smaller than eukaryotic
cells
• An organism the is a
prokaryotic cell is called
a prokaryote
• Some can live in
extreme environments
Organisms
• Each organsystem depends on the others and
cannot work alone.
• Muscle tissue could not work without blood from
the circulatory system.
29.
Review
• All unicellularorganisms carry out all the
activities necessary for survival within one
cell
• Cells become specialized in structure and
function during cell differentiation
• Organs are groups of different tissues that
work together to perform a job.
