The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.

Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.

Learners analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms.

Learners analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.

Biology Kid2Kid videos present biology concepts taught to a student by a student. This resource contains videos that explain monohybrid crosses in both English and Spanish.

The focus of this resource is cell homeostasis and, more specifically, osmosis. Students investigate the concept through a virtual lab, recording and analyzing data, creating sketches to represent vocabulary, and discovering the role of aquaporins in water transport through the cell membrane.

Given examples, descriptions, and illustrations, students will be able to describe the role of DNA, RNA, and environmental factors in cell differentiation.

Given scenarios, illustrations or descriptions, the student will describe how long-term survival of species is dependent on changing resource bases that are limited.

Given investigation scenarios, students will determine the equipment that best fits the procedure.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will identify where fermentation occurs and the results of fermentation.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will identify disruptions of the cell cycle that lead to diseases such as cancer.

Given examples, students will recognize the importance of taxonomy to the scientific community.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will determine the classification of organisms into domains and kingdoms.

Given images, videos, or scenarios, identify and describe the responses of organisms, populations, and communities to various changes in their external environment.

Identify and describe internal feedback mechanisms involved in maintaining homeostasis given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions.

Given illustrations, students will analyze the flow of matter and energy in food chains, food webs, and ecological pyramids.

Given scenarios, illustrations. or descriptions, the student will compare variations and adaptations of organisms in different ecosystems.

Given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, the student will identify the process of ecological succession and the impact that succession has on populations and species diversity.
