All living things have a STRUCTURE to them. Their STRUCTURES determine their FUNCTION. So far, we have learned about the characteristics of life, and what determines whether a cell is an ORGANISM or not.
NOW we will build upon that knowledge by studying the complex structures of multi-cellular organisms.
-We are also learning about how these structures are arranged into levels: from least complex to more complex.
Key point: although all living things do the 8 characteristics of life, the more complex the structure it has, the more specialized its cells will be to do these processes.
