Levels of organisms
  1. Organelles
    1. The nucleus contains the genetic material(chromozones and DNA). it controls the cell's activities and has its own membrane
      1. Cell membrane controls what comes in and when leave the cell.
        1. Cytoplasm, this is the gel-like substance where most reactions occur, it contains enzymes
        2. organisms in plant cells
          1. Chloroplasts are where photosyntheisis occurs, it is responsible for making food and energy for the plant. inside the chloroplast are chlorophyll, this is the part that actually is used in photosyntheisis
            1. The cell wall, this is resposible for keeping the cell rigid and is made of cellulose. it gives the cell support and strengthens it.
              1. Vacuoles are a large organelle taking up most of the space inside the cell, it contains cell sap which is a solution of sugar and salt. it also helps to support the cell
              2. Special Cells
                1. Cells don't always look the same, most are specilised to do specific jobs or functions so structures vary
                  1. Examples of this are red blood cells which do not have nucleuses so that it can carry more oxygen
                  2. Groups
                    1. A group of similar cells is called a tissue, these cells work together in order to perform a particular function. a tissue can contain more than one type of cell
                      1. Tissues are organised into organs, an organ is a group of tissues working together in order to perform a function for example lungs and leaves
                        1. A group of organs is called an organ group, an organ group is a collection of organs working together in order to do a job, for example the digestive system is a collection of organs that work together to digest food
