The student will demonstrate an understanding of the organization of living systems. |
||
|
|
|
(4) |
Science concepts. The student knows that cells are the basic structures of all living things and have specialized parts that perform specific functions, and that viruses are different from cells and have different properties and functions. The student is expected to |
|
|
|
|
|
(B) |
investigate and identify cellular processes including homeostasis, permeability, energy production, transportation of molecules, disposal of wastes, function of cellular parts, and synthesis of new molecules. |
|
|
|
(6) |
Science Concepts. The student knows the structures and functions of nucleic acids in the mechanisms of genetics. The student is expected to |
|
|
|
|
|
(A) |
describe components of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and illustrate how information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried in the DNA; |
|
|
|
|
(C) |
identify and illustrate how changes in DNA cause mutations and evaluate the significance of these changes. |
|
|
|
|
(D) |
compare genetic variations observed in plants and animals. |
|
|
|
(8) |
Science Concepts. The student knows applications of taxonomy and can identify its limitations. The student is expected to |
|
|
|
|
|
(C) |
identify characteristics of kingdoms including monerans, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. |
|
|
|
(10) |
Science Concepts. The student knows that, at all levels of nature, living systems are found within other living systems, each with its own boundary and limits. The student is expected to |
|
|
|
|
|
(A) |
interpret the functions of systems in organisms including circulatory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary, skeletal, respiratory, muscular, excretory, and immune; and |
