I. Cellular biologyCells are living organisms that are constantly growing. They are what all living things are comprised of and can be found in any living creature. There are also single celled organisms that are in fact just a cell.

IV. Types of cellsThere are several differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells, yet they do have some similarities. For instance, a Eukaryotic cell will have organelles such as Endoplasmic Renticulum or Mitochondria, a Prokaryotic cell will have neither of these organelles. However as stated above, they do have some similarities, such as both having cytoplasm or ribosomes. While they are both uniquely different they are, in a sense, the same type of cell.

II. How big are objects in the biological world
From what I've seen from the animation, the relative size of objects in the world to me has increased significantly. I once that that a cell was as big as the segments of my skin, but the animation showed me other wise. I now know that bacterial organisms and spores are actually smaller than I had originally thought, that a dust mite is bigger than i thought.
Iii. Levels of organization
-Atom: The smallest unit of anything with mass.
-Molecule: Molecules are made up of atoms and are the second smallest thing/compound in existence.
-Cell: Basic building blocks of all life, cells are contained within all living things.
-Tissue: A conglomeration of cells that forms a cumulative mass.
-Organ: Organs interact physically, chemically, or both in an organ system.
-Organ System: An organ system regulates certain parts of a living creature's bodily functions (respiratory system, stomach and intestines, liver and kidneys, etc.)
-Organism: A creature comprised of organ systems, and tissues.
-Population: A group of multi-celled organisms that inhabit a specific area.
-Community: The overall population of all species that occupy a specified area.
-Ecosystem: is a community that is interacting with it's physical environment.
-Biosphere: The biosphere encompasses all regions of waters, crust, and atmosphere that hold organisms.
