To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “The smallest particle of an element that retains all the properties of that element is a ____. The smallest unit of life is the _____. Cells of a specific type within multicellular organism combine to form _____. A ______ consists of all the same type of organs within a defined area. A_____ consists of all the interacting population within the same area.”
Introduction:
The smallest constituent of the matter is an atom. While the structural and functional unit of biological life is a cell. Constituents of the cell and its various types when aggregated form up the entire organism, either multicellular or unicellular. The organism, which when able to interbreed, is known as species. This is how an earth biosphere is constructed with all the hierarchical follow-ups.

In this post, you will demonstrate an understanding of you've learned about the themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking. Choose one concept and describe your understanding of the concept, add information to that concept and lastly pose a question to the class so that they can get involved.arrow_forwardThe levels of structural organization of living things are arranged from simplest to most complex.

You know that the shivering is your body's attempt to help regulate your body temperature and is an example of which property of life? Select the best answer. All life transforms energy. All life can reproduce. All life grows and develops. All life is organized. All life evolves. All life maintains homeostasis.arrow_forwardThe Study of Life discusses themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking.
