Everything is made up from cells, and without them we wouldn't be here. You see, cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems, organ systems make organisms, and organisms make up US!!! So with out us who would make up the community? NO ONE!!! Who would create all of our daily resources that help make up the planet? NO ONE!!! So you see without cells the world would be nothing, or close to it.

 * An example of how a tiny cell affects a larger organism/community/planet: **
 * A mutation in one cell could affect the cells around it, therefore it may affect the tissue it makes up with the other cells. The tissue could then change, which could alter the organs which are made from the tissue, which in turn might change the organ system. Organ systems can then have an affect on the organism it is inside of. Since communities are made up of organisms, they can be affected by alterations in the organisms because organisms can have affects on each other. Also, communities make up the planet, so if one community changes, it could have an impact on other communities and in turn, affect the whole planet. ** (Sorry if it's a little confusing)

Cells, as everyone know, is in every single living thing. Cells make up tissues, which makes up organs. When those organs work together, it makes up organ systems. Then from organ systems, it makes up organisms. You might think organs, tissues, organisms, what does that all have to do with me? So let’s use the most basic example. Well you should probably know the organ systems in a human body. Let’s take the skeletal system. The organs would be the bones obviously, and it is composed of many different tissues. One of them would be the osseous tissue, and from there it would go down to the cells in it. To think if there were no cells, people would be just a pile of fat, skin and muscle with absolutely no support whatsoever. Actually, without cells there would be no human beings (organisms) at all, no anything. If there were no organisms, then there would be no community. That would obviously affect the whole planet. Another example on how cells affect on a community or an entire planet is that every living thing needs oxygen to live. Plant cells produce oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. Without this, there would be no oxygen for the organisms’ needs. Think of it as a plague, if an entire community wiped out, then it would spread to other communities. Finally wiping out every community which meant it affected the whole planet.

This is a way a tiny cell can affect organisms, planet, etc. A tiny cell can mutate. A mutation can happen spontaneously or randomly during mitoses, the reproducing of cells. These mutations can be beneficial or deleterious or not beneficial. For example, if a woodpecker cells where mutated and the beak was longer, it can get food in a tree better than other woodpeckers. This means that that woodpecker’s family would survive better than others. Also, if that woodpecker has babies, it will most likely pass down the mutation to its babies so the babies will have long beaks. Scientist thinks beneficial mutations are the driving force of evolution. An example of a deleterious mutation is a popular one, cancer. Cancer is a mutation that causes a cell to reproduce to quickly and this can kill the person who has it. Thiscan affect this and this

How does a tiny cell affect the larger organism/community/planet? As many cells work together and form tissues, many tissues work together form organs, organs working together form the organ system, and the organ system then forming the organism. A organism forms! The community and society is formed by us humans, which are organisms. And because their are so many communities in the world, we, organisms affect the whole planet too! A tiny little cell that cannot even be seen by our naked eyes can affect a whole world. Because we, are made up of cells and the world is made up by us! A tiny little cell is POWERFUL!

=Yiannis= I agree with Issa. That if a cell transfers a disease that it could kill the organism. This is because the cells make up tissue, which makes up organ systems,and that makes the organism. I think that if something goes wrong with the cell it could mean trouble for the organism. Although,if the disease can be spread, then it will destroy communities,and if that happens it will destroy the world. That is why the cells are very important for the survival of humans. And also without cells, organisms couldn't exist. This is as almost everyone has said because without cells, their is no tissue, which makes no organs, and that means no organ systems which make up organisms. Without cells, their would be no animals, and no plants. Without them, an earth can't survive. This is why cells affect organisms/communities/planet. http://peer.tamu.edu/curriculum_modules/Cell_Biology/module_1/levels%20of%20organization.jpg
