of organization? ganisms
3. Organelles A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function
within the cell
4. Cells The basic unit of structure and function in all living
things
5. Tissues Groups of cells with a common structure and function.
6. Organs Groups of tissues that work together to perform a spe-
cific function or related functions
7. Organ Systems A group of organs that work together in performing vital
body functions.
8. Organism Any living thing
9. What are the char- movement, responsiveness, growth, reproduction, res-
acteristics of life? piration, digestion, absorption, circulation, assimilation,
excretion

internal environment
27. homeostatic mech- self-regulating systems that monitor aspects of the in-
anisms ternal environment and correct them as needed
