Cellular Organisation

LO Identify levels of organization within organisms >

Task 1
Match up the definitions and examples
for each level or organisation in an
organism.

Level of
organisation
(smallest to
biggest)
Cells

Tissues

Organs

Organ system

Organism

Definition

Example in plants

Example in animals

Level of
organisation
(smallest to
biggest)
Cells

Definition

The smallest living unit of an

organism

Example in plants

Example in animals

Palisade cell

Glandular cells

Tissues

A group of cells with similar

structures, working together to
perform a
shared function

Leaf epithelium

Stomach lining

Organs

a structure made up of a group

of tissues, working together to
perform specific
functions

Leaves

Stomach

Organ system

a group of organs with

related functions, working together
to perform
body functions

Photosynthetic system

Digestive system

Organism

An individual plant, animal, or singlecelled organism.

Daffodil

Human

Task 2
1. Draw the diagram on page 66 in your
book and highlight the labels of any
cells

1. State the name of the organ you have

just drawn
1. What is the role of this organ?
1. Copy the images of the xylem and
phloem from page 91 into your book
1. Is the xylem and phloem vessel a cell,
tissue, organ or organ system?
1. State one cell, tissue and organ in
involved in the following systems;
circulatory, respiratory, digestive,
reproductive, excretory

Task 3 Kahoot

1. Use the diagram to state at least 8 types of cell you can see in the image.
2. Use your text book to help explain the job of palisade mesophyll cells,
spongy mesophyll cells, root hair cell.
3. What does the sieve plate do? What does the companion cell do?

Humans
For each of these organ systems state:
1. Its role in the body
2. The name of the organs involved
3. The name of at least 1 tissues involved
4. The name of the cells involved in the tissues named
EXAMPLE
1. The digestive system is
involved in breaking down
large insoluble material to
small soluble material that is
absorbed into the blood
stream. It is also involved in
ejecting undigested food
from the body.
2. See diagram
3. Pancreatic tissue
4. Islets of Langerhans cells
