Neuroscience and evolutionary biology are reshaping psychology and sociology. Unifying themes pervade all of biology. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Life’s basic characteristic is a high degree of order. Biological organization is based on a hierarchy of structural levels, each building on the levels below. At the lowest level are atoms that are ordered into complex biological molecules. Many molecules are arranged into minute structures called organelles, which are the components of cells. 1.
