Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An atom is the smallest particle of an ordinary matter that has the property of the chemical element. The cell is the structural and functional unit of life. When cells appear in a group it is called a tissue. The population is the term used to denote the a number of living things that live together in the same place. An ecosystem is a community made up of living organisms and nonliving components.

The Study of Life discusses themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking. In this post, you will demonstrate an understanding of you've learned about the themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking. Choose one concept and describe your understanding of the concept, add information to that concept and lastly pose a question to the class so that they can get involved.
