Levels of organization of life, from least complex to most complex starting with cells. then briefly state the function of each level of organization

The levels of organization of life from the least complex to most complex are enumerated below:
a. Organelles - the basic part of a living organism. It refers to the different structures of the cell, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic. (Ex. Mitochondria, nucleus)
b. Cells - building blocks of life that are composed of different molecules responsible for the function of an organism. (Example: prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells)
c. Tissues - combinations of cells that carry out a specific function in an organism. (Example: Human skin)
d. Organs - collections of tissues that perform specific functions. (Ex. heart, lungs)
e. Organ Systems - composed of interconnected organs that function as a whole. Many organisms, particularly mamamals, are composed of organ systems. (Ex. respiratory, circulatory systems)
f. Organisms – individual entities that specifically make-up a population. (Ex. Each tree in the forest is an organism, each animal in sea is an organism)
g. Population – species living within a specific location. It could be the same or different species that inhabit a place. (Ex. Birds are species in the forest as well as bears)
h. Community – refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a specific location. (Ex. All of the trees, insects, birds that inhabit the forest are a community)
i. Ecosystem – consists of all living things that function together as a group which also includes the non-living parts of the environment. (Ex. Rain water, nitrogen in the soil)
j. Biosphere – the highest organization of life that consist of all the collection of ecosystems in the planet. It includes the land, air, water, even the atmosphere of the planet. 

The basic repeating unit of nucleic acids are known as nucleotides. a nucleotide consists of three distinct chemical groups.
