A.   Explain that the basic functions of organisms are carried out in cells and groups of specialized cells form tissues and organs; the combination of these cells make up multicellular organisms that have a variety of body plans and internal structures.

1.   Explain that many of the basic functions of organisms are carried out by or within cells and are similar in all organisms.

2.   Recognize that multi cellular organisms have a variety of specialized cells, tissues, organs and organ systems that perform specialized functions.

3.   Determine how plant cells differ from animal cells (e.g., cell wall and chloroplasts).

4.   Investigate the great diversity of body plans and internal structures found in multi-cellular organisms:

·         vertebrates vs. invertebrates

·         radial vs. bilateral symmetry

·         simple vs. complex body systems

·         unicellular vs. multicellular organisms

5.   Understand that organisms are classified into kingdoms based upon common characteristics within each group.

 

B.   Describe the characteristics of an organism in terms of a combination of inherited traits and recognize reproduction as a characteristic of living organisms essential to the continuation of the species.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.   Recognize that an individual organism does not live forever; therefore reproduction is necessary for the continuation of every species and traits are passed on to the next generation through reproduction.

5.   Recognize that in asexual reproduction all the inherited traits come from a single parent (e.g., mitosis).

6.   Recognize that in sexual reproduction an egg and sperm unite and some traits come from each parent, so the offspring is never identical to either of its parents (e.g., meiosis).

7.   Demonstrate that likenesses between parents and offspring (e.g., eye color, flower color) are inherited. Other likenesses, such as table manners are learned.
