I.Cellular Biology
A Cell is the smallest unit that can live and reproduce on its own or as a part of a multicelled organism.Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages.

IV. Types of CellsProkaryotic cells are simple cells always plants or animal cells. In the other hand, we have Eukaryotic cells which are complex cells. Generally always a bacteria. Both types of cells have Plasma Membranes, DNA, Ribosoms,etc. The basic unit of life will always be a cell. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus , while prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotes were the only form of life on Earth for millions of years until more complicated eukaryotes came. Procaryotics cells are unicellular while Eukaryotics are multicellular.

II.How big are objects in the biological world?
Objects in the biological world are nearly invisible without magnification, dust mites dwarf pollen grains and human cells. In turn, bacteria and viruses are even smaller. I learned how to use the scale to measure individual cells.The system of measurements used in scientists observations of the scientific method is the metric system. All scientists worldwide use this exact same system.
III.Levels of Organization
Biological Systems are organized in different levels, from the lowest level to the highest. It contains 11 levels: atom, molecules, cell, tissue, organ, organ system,multicelled organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere. biological systems organized
