Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells.HS-LS1-1

Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.HS-LS1-2

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis.HS-LS1-3

Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms.HS-LS1-4

Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.HS-LS1-5

Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules.HS-LS1-6

Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed resulting in a net transfer of energy.HS-LS1-7
