Introduction
Living things include many kinds of organisms, from the plants, animals, fungi, and algae that can be readily seen in nature to the multitude of tiny creatures known as protozoa, bacteria etc. that can be seen only with a microscope. Living things can be found in every type of habitat on Earth—on land and in lakes, rivers, and oceans.

Introduction
The fundamental unit of structure in biology is the living cell. Regardless of whether an organism is single celled or multicellular, it must carry out the same basic functions in order to survive, both as an individual and as a species. These functions include acquisition of nutrients and energy sources, disposal of unusable and toxic materials, reproduction, locomotion, and interaction with components in the environment. All of these functions require coordination both for short-range activities, such as sensation, and for long-range activities, such as growth
