3. Levels of Organization:
-
Animals exhibit various levels of organization:
-
Cellular Level: Some simple animals, like sponges, are organized at the cellular level, where individual cells perform all necessary functions.
-
Tissue Level: More complex animals have tissues that specialize in particular functions, such as muscles and nervous tissue.
-
Organ Level: In higher animals, organs are composed of different tissues working together, e.g., heart, liver, and lungs.
-
Organ System Level: Animals with multiple organs form organ systems (e.g., digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems) that coordinate various functions.
