In multicellular organisms, the levels of organization are _____________, _____________, _____________ and _____________.
The cell is the basic unit of all living things. Some organisms like Amoeba and bacteria are only one cell. Viruses are sub-cellular. Plants and animals are multicellular. Analyze how this fact is important when considering how different organism feed, respire, and excrete. Give two examples for each characteristic and use a multi- cellular organism and a uni-cellular (one-celled) organism to compare.
