Pages 12, 26, 46, 60, 84, 104, 118, 132, 146, 158, 180, 198, 218, 234, 252, 262, 278, 292, 306, 318, 342, 358, 370, 388, 406 2

4 Objective 2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the organization of living systems. Biology (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. (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; Pages 32-48, CRB: 30-32, 34, Biology (6) Science concepts. The student knows the structures and functions of nucleic acids in the mechanisms of genetics. (A) describe components of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and illustrate how information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried in the DNA; Pages CRB: 52 3

5 (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; Pages CRB: 54 Pages 65-72, CRB: 256 Biology (8) Science concepts. The student applications of taxonomy and can identify its limitations. (C) identify characteristics of kingdoms including monerans, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. Pages , , , , CRB: 63, 64, 65, 81, 83, 85, 112, 113, 115, 116, 125, 127, 133, 135, 136, 137, 138 Biology (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. (A) interpret the functions of systems in organisms including circulatory, digestive, nervouse, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary, skeletal, respiratory, muscular, excretory, and immune; Pages , , , , , , CRB: 144, 145, 147, 153, 154, 155, 157, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 172, 173, 174, 175, 181, 182, 184, 190, 200, 201 4
