Let's solve this step-by-step by identifying the correct levels of biological organization and matching each label to its corresponding image.
Levels of Biological Organization (from simplest to most complex):
1.
Atoms – basic building blocks of matter.
2.
Molecule – formed when atoms bond together.
3.
Cells – the smallest unit of life.
4.
Tissue – a group of similar cells working together.
5.
Organ – made up of different tissues.
6.
Organ system – a group of organs that work together.
7.
Organism – a living being made of organ systems.
8.
Population – a group of individuals of the same species in an area.
9.
Community – all populations of different species living in an area.
10.
Ecosystem – includes community + abiotic factors (like soil, water, air).
11.
Biosphere – the global sum of all ecosystems.

Now, let’s match the
images with the
correct labels based on what is shown:
Step-by-Step Matching:
1.
Image: Atom (small circle with nucleus and electrons)
→
Label: atom
2.
Image: Water molecule (H₂O, two red spheres and one white sphere)
→
Label: molecule
3.
Image: Cell (with organelles like nucleus, mitochondria)
→
Label: cell
4.
Image: Pink tissue-like structure (group of similar cells)
→
Label: tissue
5.
Image: Bone (a single organ)
→
Label: organ
6.
Image: Human skeleton (made of multiple organs like bones)
→
Label: organ system (skeletal system)
7.
Image: Man in suit (a human being)
→
Label: organism
8.
Image: Group of people (same species, e.g., humans)
→
Label: population
9.
Image: Trees, animals, plants in a forest (multiple species interacting)
→
Label: community
10.
Image: Forest with pond, animals, plants, soil, water (includes biotic and abiotic components)
→
Label: ecosystem
11.
Image: Earth (the whole planet)
→
Label: biosphere

Final Answer:
Now fill in the blanks under each image:
1.
Atom → small atomic model
2.
Molecule → H₂O molecule
3.
Cell → cell diagram
4.
Tissue → pink tissue
5.
Organ → bone
6.
Organ system → skeleton
7.
Organism → man
8.
Population → group of people
9.
Community → forest with various animals and plants
10.
Ecosystem → forest with pond and environment
11.
Biosphere → Earth

Summary of Labels in Order:
From left to right, top to bottom:
- Atom
- Molecule
- Cell
- Tissue
- Organ
- Organ system
- Organism
- Population
- Community
- Ecosystem
- Biosphere
✔ This sequence shows the
hierarchy of biological organization, from the smallest (atom) to the largest (biosphere).
