Life's Organizational Hierarchy

Levels of Organization

 No. A single cell can be considered a biological system, but there is a better answer. 

 No. A pond can be considered a biological system, but there is a better answer. 

 No. The biosphere can be considered a biological system (a very complex one), but there is a better answer. 

 All of the listed responses are correct. 

Consider the different scales at which a biologist might work.

Which of the following can best be considered a biological system?

At which point of the organizational hierarchy does life emerge?

Emergent Properties

All the organisms on your campus make up 
a. an ecosystem.
b. a community.
c. a population.
d. a taxonomic domain.

 are apparent only when an organism is studied at the molecular level 

No. Consider the meaning of the term emergent.

 are evident during only one portion of the life cycle of an organism 

 are due to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases 

Emergent properties can be recognized by comparing levels in the hierarchy of biological organization.

Emergent properties of living systems are properties that __________.

Organization of Life

Life's Organizational Hierarchy Example 1

Cells are the basic unit of life and all organisms are composed of one or more cells.

Neurons can control which ions they keep inside and outside their membranes.

Cells are made of simple molecules, but when organized together, these molecules can perform living functions.

Molecules can form large chains by joining together multiple atoms. 

Which of the following is the best example of an emergent property?

 No. Consider what happens to waste from animals in an ecosystem and what happens to energy in a system such as an ecosystem. 

 No. Consider what happens to the energy in sugars produced by producers and what happens to the waste materials, such as carbon dioxide, released by producers. 

 No. In terms of matter (such as nutrients), Earth is effectively a closed system. Materials are neither created in nor lost from a closed system. 

Consider the characteristics of each of the different types of eukaryotic life.

In an ecosystem, nutrients __________ and energy __________.

Ecosystem → Biosphere → Population → Community → Organism.

Biosphere → Ecosystem → Population → Community → Organism.

Ecosystem → Community → Biosphere → Population → Organism.

Biosphere → Ecosystem →Community → Population → Organism.

Which of the following options has the correct order in terms of the hierarchy of the organization?

Exploring Different Levels of Biological Organization

 No. A bee colony has properties that are not displayed by individual bees. 

 No. The way that water molecules bond together creates properties in a collection of water molecules that are not displayed by individual water molecules. 

 No. Take a calculator apart. Do any of its parts perform the same tasks that the calculator together performs? 

 None of the listed responses is correct. 

Remember that in emergence, new properties appear due to complexity that arises as a result of the combination of simpler components.

Which of the following systems does not display emergent properties?

 No. Members of the same species may be geographically isolated and unable to interact with one another. 

 No. The entire array of different species within a given ecosystem comprises a community. 

 No. All of the different populations within a given ecosystem compose a community. 

Consider the hierarchy of biological organization.

What is the appropriate term for an interbreeding group of individuals of a single type occupying a defined area?
