Hierarchy of Life (Levels of Organization)
The Hierarchy of Life, also known as the Levels of Organization, provides a systematic framework for understanding the complex structures and processes that characterize living organisms. This hierarchical arrangement categorizes biological entities based on their organization and function, ranging from the molecular level to the biosphere. By examining how individual components interact and integrate at various levels, scientists can gain insight into the fundamental principles underlying life's diversity and unity. This concept serves as a cornerstone in biology, guiding research and inquiry into the interconnectedness of living systems.
