SCIENCE Second Quarter - Module 2 Levels of Biological Organization This instructional material is collaboratively developed and reviewed by educators from public schools. We encourage teachers and other education stakeholders to email their feedback, comments, and recommendations to the Department of Education at action@ [Link]. Your feedback and recommendations are highly valued. Department of Education e Republic of the Philippines%) What I Need to Know Biology is defined as the branch of science which deals with the study of life of all the organisms on Earth. It is coined from the two Greek Words “Bios” which means “life” and “logos” which means “study of”, All living things exhibit a unique and complex hierarchical organization. This is arranged in ascending order or from lowest to the highest level that includes cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism, Population, community, ecosystem and biosphere. One concrete example of a living thing is YOU. You are composed of many parts and each part has specific function. Every part is interrelated and is necessary for your continuous existence on this planet. It is guided by the rule, “All for one, one for all” because these parts of your body will not work alone instead it works 88 @ whole. One part will not be able to work properly if other part is missing Hence, this module will help you address your questions on how life 'S organized. Moreover, students understanding on the sequence of the Pological organizations from smallest to largest shall also be given emphasis. The scope of this module allows it to be applied in your day to day existence. After going through this module, you are expected to describe the Giferent levels of biological organizations from cell to biosphere (S7LP ~ lle -3). Specifically, you are expected to: 1. classify organisms into their level of biological organizations; and 2. create a foldable Pyramid on the levels of biological organizations.(4) What I Know Directions: Choose the letter of the best answer, Write the letter of your answer in your Science activity notebook 1.

Have Fun & Enjoy!What's New Have you ever asked yourself on what makes you up and the other Organisms around you? This question could be addressed as you go along with this module. | want you first to observe carefully the picture. Then, think over and answer the questions below. 1. What parts of the human body do you see? 2. To which organ systems do these parts belong? 3. What could probably happen if one organ or body part does not function well? Levels of Biological Organization Organisms are categorized according to the number of cells in the body, either unicellular or multicellular. A unicellular organism depends upon just one cell for all of its functions while a multicellular organism has to perform different functions that collectively support the cells specialized organism. As they grow and develop, they become highly organized and specialized.The different levels of biological organization are described and arranged below from the highest to the lowest or in a descending order.
