Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “The smallest particle of an element that retains all the properties of that element is a ____. The smallest unit of life is the _____. Cells of a specific type within multicellular organism combine to form _____. A ______ consists of all the same type of organs within a defined area. A_____ consists of all the interacting population within the same area.”
Introduction:
The smallest constituent of the matter is an atom. While the structural and functional unit of biological life is a cell. Constituents of the cell and its various types when aggregated form up the entire organism, either multicellular or unicellular. The organism, which when able to interbreed, is known as species. This is how an earth biosphere is constructed with all the hierarchical follow-ups.
