Figure 2.1 The Pyramid of Life: The 12 Levels of Biological
Organization
It is because life begins at a
certain level of the pyramid
(Level V) and then continues
upward through each of the
higher levels of biological
organization Levels VI – XII).
The Three Lowest Levels of the Pyramid
1. SUBTOMIC LEVEL – protons, neutrons,
electrons
2. ATOMS – carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen
(H), and nitrogen (N)
3. MOLECULES
4. ORGANELLES- literally means “little organ”.
5. CELL – smallest unit of life
6. TISSUE - epithelial tissue, muscle tissue,
connective tissue, nervous tissue
