I.   Introductory provisions

Organism is a term used to describe any complex molecular structure arranged primarily into cellular units. Hence, an Organism is equivalent to any mono or multi-cellular based entity. Organisms are synonymous with “Life on Earth”.

The word Organism was first created in the mid 19th Century to mean "organic structure, organization" from two (2) ancient Greek words oργαν (organ) and -ισμός (-ismos) meaning "condition, action, state of".

All organisms on Earth may be defined according to one (1) of three (3) primary cell types being Bacterial, Plant or Animal:

(i) Bacterial Organisms are typically mono-cellular possessing multiple layered cell wall, multi-layered DNA and no obvious tubilin dimer memory structures; and

(ii) Plant Organisms are typically multi-cellular possession double cell walls, multi-layered DNA, tubulin dimmers but no centriole and organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts; and

(iii) Animal Organisms are typically thick layered cells, with thinner protected DNA, tubilin dimer and centriole as well as organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts.

All Organisms on Earth may be defined according to a classification system known as taxonomy. Taxa are ranked groups of organisms, which run from the general (domain) to the specific (species). Abroad scheme of ranks in hierarchical order is Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.
