SC - Science SC-H - High

SC-H-3 - Life Science SC-H-3.1 - The Cell

SC-H-3.1.1 - Cells have particular structures that

underlie their function. Every cell is surrounded by a

membrane that separates it from the outside world. Inside the cell is a concentrated mixture of thousands of

different molecules that form a variety of specialized

structures. These structures carry out specific cell functions.

SC - Science SC-H - High SC-H-3 - Life Science SC-H-3.1 - The

Cell

SC-H-3.1.2 - Most cell functions involve chemical reactions.

Food molecules taken into cells react to provide the chemical

constituents needed to synthesize other molecules.

Both breakdown and synthesis are made possible by a large set of protein catalysts, called enzymes. The breakdown of some of the food molecules

enables the cell to store energy in specific chemicals that are used to carry out the many

functions of the cell.


Cell

SC-H-3.1.3 - Cells store and use information to guide their

functions. The genetic information stored in DNA directs the synthesis of the

thousands of proteins that each cell requires.


Cell

SC-H-3.1.4 - Cell functions are regulated. Regulation occurs both through changes in the activity of the functions

performed by proteins and through selective expression of

individual genes. This regulation allows cells to

respond to their interna and external environments and to control and coordinate cell

growth and division.SC - Science SC-H

- HighSC-H-3 - Life Science SC-H-3.1 - The

CellSC-H-3.1.5 - Plants cells

contain chloroplasts, the site of photosynthesis. Plants and

many microorganisms use solar energy to combine molecules of carbon dioxide and water into complex, energy-rich organic compounds and release

oxygen to the environment. This process of photosynthesis provides a vital liink between the Sun and energy needs of

living systems.


Cell

SC-H-3.1.6 - In the development of multicellular organisms, cells multiply and differentiate to form many

specialized cells, tissues, and organs. This differentiation is

regulated through the expression of different genes.

SC - Science SC-H - High SC-H-3 - Life Science

SC-H-3.2 - The Behavior of Organisms

SC-H-3.2.1 - Multicellular animals have nervous sytems that generate behavior. Nerve cells communicate with each other by secreting specific

molecules. Specialized cells in sense organs detect light,

sounds, and specific chemicals enabling animals to monitor what is going on in the world

around them.


SC-H-3.2 - The Behavior of Organisms

SC-H-3.2.3 - The broad patterns of behavior exhibited by organisms have changed over time through natural

selection to ensure reproductive success. Organisms often live in

unpredictable environments, so their behavioral responses

must be flexible enough to deal with uncertainty and change. Behaviors often have an

adaptive logic.


SC-H-3.3 - The Molecular Basis of Heredity

SC-H-3.3.1 - In all organisms and viruses, the instructions for specifying the characteristics

are carried in nucleic acids. The chemical and structural

properties of nucleic acids determine how the genetic information that underlies heredity is both encoding in

genes and replicated.SC - Science SC-H

- HighSC-H-3 - Life Science SC-H-3.3 - The

Molecular Basis of Heredity

SC-H-3.3.3 - Changes in DNA occur spontaneously at low

rates. Some of these changes make no difference to the

organism, whereas others can change cells and organisms. Only mutations in germ cells have the potential to create the

variation that changes an organism's future offspring.

SC - Science SC-H - High SC-H-3 - Life Science SC-H-3.4 - Biolo

gical Change

SC-H-3.4.1 - Species change over time. Biological change

over time is the consequence of the interactions of (1) the potential for a species to

increase its numbers, (2) the genetic variability of offspring

due to mutation and recombination of genes, (3) a finite supply of the resources required for life, and (4) natural selection. The consequences of change over time provide a scientific explanataion for the fossil record of ancient life forms and for the striking

molecular similarities observed among the diverse species of

living organisms.

SC - Science SC-H - High SC-H-3 - Life Science SC-H-3.4 - Biolo

gical Change

SC-H-3.4.2 - The great diversity of organisms is the result of more than 3.5 billion years of biological change over time that has filled every available niche with life forms. The millions of different species of plants,

animals, and microorganisms that live on Earth today are related by descent from common ancestors.

SC - Science SC-H - High

SC-H-3 - Life Science SC-H-3.4 - Biological Change

SC-H-3.4.3 - Biological classifications are based on how organisms are related.

Organisms are classified into a hierarchy of groups and

subgroups based on similarities that reflect their relationships.

Species is the most fundamental unit of

classification. Different species are classified by the

comparison and analysis of

their internal and external structures and the similarity of their chemical processes.


SC-H-3.5 - The Interdependence of Organisms

SC-H-3.5.2 - Energy flows through ecosystems in one direction from photosynthetic organisms to herbivores to carnivores to decomposers.



SC-H-3.5.3 - Organisms both cooperate and compete in

ecosystems. Often changes in one component of an

ecosystem will have effects on the entire system that are difficult to predict. The interrelationships and

interdependencies of these organisms may generate

ecosystems that are stable for hundreds or thousands of

years.



SC-H-3.5.4 - Living organisms have the capacity to produce populations of infinite size.

However, behaviors, environments, and resources

influence the size of populations. Models can be

used to make predictions about changes in the size or rate of

growth of a population.



SC-H-3.5.5 - Human beings live within the world's ecosystems.

Human activities can deliberately or inadvertently

alter the dynamics in ecosystems. These activities can threaten current and future

global stability and, if not addressed, ecosystems can be

irreversibly affected.SC - Science SC-H

- HighSC-H-3 - Life Science SC-H-3.6 - Matt

er, Energy, and Organization in Living Systems

SC-H-3.6.1 - Living systems require a continuous input of energy to maintain their chemical and physical

organization since the universal tenency is toward more

disorganized states. The energy for life primarily derives from the Sun. Plants capture energy by absorbing light and using it to form strong chemical bonds between the atoms of carbon-containing molecules. These molecules can be used to assemble larger molecules. In addition, the energy stored in the bonds between the atoms can be used as sources of energy for life processes.


SC-H-3.6 - Matter, Energy, and Organization in Living Systems

SC-H-3.6.2 - The chemical bonds of food molecules contain energy. Energy is released when the bonds of

food molecules are broken and new compounds with lower

energy bonds are formed. Cells usually store this energy

temporarily in the phosphate of bonds of ATP. During the

process of cellular respiration, some energy is lost as heat.


SC-H-3.6 - Matter, Energy, and Organization in Living Systems

SC-H-3.6.3 - As matter and energy flow through different organizational levels and

between living systems and the physical environment, chemical elements are recombined in

different ways. Each recombination results in storage and dissipation of

energy into the environment as heat. Matter and energy are conserved in each change.
