Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An atom is the smallest particle of an ordinary matter that has the property of the chemical element. The cell is the structural and functional unit of life. When cells appear in a group it is called a tissue. The population is the term used to denote the a number of living things that live together in the same place. An ecosystem is a community made up of living organisms and nonliving components.
