- Cells (form) -> Tissues
- Tissues (form) -> Organs
- Organs (form) -> Body Systems
- Cells (includes) -> Plant Cells
- Cells (includes) -> Animal Cells
- Living Things (can be) -> Single-Celled Organisms
- Living Things (can be) -> Multicelled Organisms
- Living Things (show) -> Structure and Function
- Cells (undergo) -> Transport Processes
- Body Systems (enable) -> Response to Stimuli
- Living Things (display) -> Response to Stimuli

## Notes

- **Living Things**: Organisms with diverse structures and functions that respond to their environment [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17317)
- **Cells**: Basic unit of life; all living things are made of cells [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17320)
- **Tissues**: Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a function [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17320)
- **Organs**: Structures made of tissues that perform specific functions in the body [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17320)
- **Body Systems**: Groups of organs working together for major functions like respiration and circulation [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17321)
- **Plant Cells**: Cells with cell walls and other structures distinct from animal cells [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17320)
- **Animal Cells**: Cells with cell membranes but no cell walls [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17320)
- **Single-Celled Organisms**: Living things made of one cell that performs all life functions [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17320)
- **Multicelled Organisms**: Living things made of many cells working together in organized systems [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17320)
- **Structure and Function**: How an organism's parts are designed to perform specific roles [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17319)
- **Transport Processes**: Movement of gases and liquids into and out of cells through diffusion and osmosis [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17320)
- **Response to Stimuli**: How organisms and body systems react to internal and external changes [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17321)
