Order

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Order is the property of life in which organisms are built from a highly organized structure, from atoms up through cells and tissues.

Order describes the organism's structure, not its behavior — a resting organism is no less ordered than an active one.
