Biological Levels (Hierarchy)

Why do we group life into levels (or a hierarchy)? Well life is grouped into levels, but some organisms do not exist in all levels. Consider single-celled (unicellular) organisms which lack tissues, organs and organ systems. Watch the Amoeba Sisters video to understand these levels better.

To get tissues, organs and organ-systems cells need to work together. Being multi-cellular (or many celled) provides many advantages for an organism, but when and why did cells start doing this? See what Dr. Joe has to say below.
