Chapter 2.1, Problem 2MI

Summary Introduction

To list:

The correct order of biological level of organization.

Introduction:

Levels of organization depict the relationships with the things at higher levels are composed of things of lower levels. Every living organism organised accordingly. Levels of organization help to understand the structural and functional aspect of the organisms. The relationship of organisms with their surroundings can be studied by studying biosphere. The portion of the earth supports life is called the biosphere.

Explanation of Solution

The biosphere is the highest level of organization. The biosphere is high in the atmosphere to deep in the ocean which supports life. To study relationships within the biosphere, it is divided into smaller Levels of organization. The most complex level is biosphere which is followed by biome (a group of different ecosystems). The next level is the ecosystem (interaction of biotic and abiotic factors), then the level is the biological community (all the population of species), then population and finally organism.
