generalize this to say that life is internally integrated. The
current version of evolutionary theory possesses no ordering
force powerful enough to generate the levels of integration we
are currently observing. (We have not observed them all.)
Macrobiological Systems
Distinguish the way most scholars use the word “community” from the way a biologist We call these assemblages communities (see Figure 1.14).
uses that term. (see second paragraph of this subsection) There are pond communities, forest communities, desert
communities, and inside your mouth, an oral community whose
member species require a microscope for study.

of cell.
Tissue is composed of many identical cells working together at
a common function.
Organ is composed of a cariety of tissues whose collective
function supports the major role of the organ.
Organ system is composed of organs working together to
perform a major function within an individual.
Individual is a frame of reference about which the Creator is
ultimately concerned.
Population is composed of a typically large number of
individuals that are potentially inter-breeding.
Community a collection of populations whose members interact
by “eating and being eaten.
Ecosystem the community in a given area plus the non-living
aspects of the environment.
Biosphere all of the ecosystems on planet earth taken together.
Identify biological levels of organization: All of the ecosystems on the earth are taken together are called
a biosphere.
A collection of communities in a area make an ecosystem.
Examples:
A collection of populations make a community.
A collection of different populations forms a(n) ________________. A large group of individuals make a population.
All ecosystems on the earth taken together are called a(n)___________. (see Fig 1.17) An organ system makes up an individual
Tissues for an organ.
Cells form tissues
Organelles form cells
Macro molecular structures form organells
Biomolecules form macro- molecular structures
Molecules form macro-molecular structures
Atoms form molecules

The pathways of chemical reactions that move energy along

metabolism.
