Biosphere

All the ecosystems of the world interact further and form biosphere or livable space of the earth. An organism is, therefore, not only an individual but also a part of population, community, ecosystem, biome and biosphere. Biosphere has the highest level of organization with multitude of natural resources. Organizations at level of individual and above are known as higher levels of organization. It represents ecological hierarchy. Organizations below the level of individual (organ system, organ, tissue, cell, molecules, atoms ) are called as lower level of organization.

Thus, organization is the arrangement of smaller components of structure, system or situation into larger ones and larger ones into still larger ones in hierarchy, where components of each level coordinate with one another towards a common goal. Organization is sort of hierarchy or pyramid of levels where each level is made of components of lower level and itself becomes a component of higher level.
