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

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

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.

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-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-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-3.5.3 - 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.

Human activities can deliberately or inadvertently
alter the dynamics in ecosystems. These activities can threaten current and future

irreversibly affected.SC - Science SC-H

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.
