    The document discusses the different levels of organization in plants and animals from cells to tissues to organs to organ systems and organisms. It explains that cells are the basic unit and work together to form tissues like muscle, nerve and connective tissues. Tissues then combine to form organs like the heart, brain and plant organs, and organs work together in organ systems or the whole organism.

    TEKS 7.

    12C: Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs,
    organ systems, and organisms.

    What is the basic unit of organization


    in plants and animals?
    A cell is the
    smallest unit of
    an organism.
    In complex
    organisms, cells
    are specialized
    for specific
    functions.
    TEKS 7.12C: Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs,
    organ systems, and organisms.

    How do cells work together?


    Specialized cells do not work alone. A tissue is a group of similar
    specialized cells that work together to perform a specific function.
    Animals have four types of tissue.
    • Connective tissue adds
    support and structure.
    • Epithelial tissue is
    protective.
    • Muscle tissue moves body
    parts.
    • Nerve tissue relays
    information.

    (contd.)
    TEKS 7.12C: Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs,
    organ systems, and organisms.

    Plants also have tissues.


    • Dermal tissue protects the plant and helps prevent water loss.
    • Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and food
    throughout the plant.
    • Ground tissue is responsible for photosynthesis, food storage,
    support, and protection.
    TEKS 7.12C: Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs,
    organ systems, and organisms.

    How else are plants and


    animals organized?
    • An organ combines different kinds of tissues that function
    together.
    • Your brain is an organ in which nerve, connective, and epithelial
    tissues work together. Your heart is an organ made of muscle,
    nerve, connective, and epithelial tissues.
    • Plant organs include roots, stems, and leaves. These organs all
    contain the three types of plant tissues.

    (contd.)
    TEKS 7.12C: Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs,
    organ systems, and organisms.

    • An organ system is a group of


    organs that work together to
    perform a major function.
    • Complex animals have many
    organ systems, such as the
    nervous system and the muscular
    system.
    • Plants have only two organ
    systems, the shoot system and
    the root system.

    (contd.)
    TEKS 7.12C: Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs,
    organ systems, and organisms.

    • An organism is a complete living thing that relies on cells for life


    functions.
    • In a complex organism, all the cells, tissues, organs, and organ
    systems work together. They carry out the functions necessary
    for the organism’s life.

    1. Recognize Levels of Organization What is the relationship between cells and tissues?

    2. Evaluate Why is the heart an organ and not simply a tissue?

    3. Exemplify Name two other organ systems in the human body


    besides the nervous and muscular systems.
