2nd Quarter
Understand cellular structures, their functions, and how specific genes regulate these functions.
Week 1-3
Identify or describe cellular structures that allow cells to extract and use energy from food, eliminate wastes, and respond to the environment
Identify or describe how organisms sustain life by obtaining, transporting, transforming, releasing, and eliminating matter and energy.
Identify or describe how energy is transferred and transformed from the Sun to energy-rich molecules during photosynthesis.
Identify or describe how individual cells break down energy-rich molecules to provide energy for cell functions (i.e. cellular respiration).
Week 4-5
Identify or describe how DNA molecules are long chains linking four kinds of smaller molecules, whose sequence encodes genetic information.
Week 6
Identify or describe how genes (DNA segments) provide instructions for assembling protein molecules in cells.
Week 7-8
Identify or describe how proteins control life functions (e.g. the protein hemoglobin carries oxygen in some organisms, the proteins actin and myosin interact to cause muscle contraction).
Week 9 (Culminating Project)
Identify or describe or analyze the relationship among organisms based on their shared physical, biochemical, genetic, and cellular characteristics and/or functional processes.
