Earth: A collection of varied ecosystems Community: All living organisms of An ecosystem Population: Pelicans: group of A single species Organism: One Brown pelican Brain Organ system: Nervous system Organ: Brain Spinal Cord Tissue: Nervous tissue Cell: Nerve cell Molecule: DNA Organelle: Nucleus Atom: Nitrogen
