There is a taxonomic system based on using simple physical characteristics of organisms to identify and differentiate between different species. Each level (called a taxon) can be subdivided into different groups. There are 8 taxons and, in hierarchical order it goes:

- Domain

- Kingdom

- Phylum

- Class

- Order

- Family

- Genus

- Species

The Domain is therefore the broadest category while the species is the most specific category. There are 3 domains: Archea, Eubacteria, Eukaryote; and 5 Kingdoms; Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists and Monera.

As an example, this is the classification of humans - in the official Latin.

Domain - Eukaryota

Kingdom - Animalia

Phylum - Chordata

Class - Mammalia

Order - Primates

Family - Hominidae

Genus - Homo

Species - sapiens

How are living things organized?

Living things are organized into a hierarchy of biological levels from atoms to molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems. This hierarchical organization helps to understand the interaction and complexity of living organisms in their environments.

Do viruses have organization?

Viruses do contain genetic material and a protein coat, but they lack the cellular structure found in living organisms. They are considered to be organized structures, but they are not considered to be living organisms due to their dependency on host cells for replication.


Are both living and nonliving entities organized at the cellular level?

No, nonliving entities are not organized at the cellular level. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms, responsible for carrying out essential processes such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Nonliving entities, on the other hand, do not possess cellular organization as they lack the biological processes and components found in living organisms.

Homeostasis: Living organisms maintain internal stability to survive in fluctuating environments. Growth and development: Living organisms grow and develop in a controlled manner. Response to stimuli: Living organisms can respond to changes in their environment. Reproduction: Living organisms can produce offspring either sexually or asexually. Evolution: Living organisms can adapt to their environment over generations through the process of evolution.
