• The smallest unit of organization is a tissue, a group of tissues working together for a specific purpose is an organ, and a group of organ systems working together is a cell.

• The smallest unit of organization is a tissue, a group of tissues working together for a specific purpose is a cell, and a group of organ systems working together is an organ.
