BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Biological systems are composed of multiple levels. 

The student is expected to:
(A)  describe the interactions that occur among systems that perform the functions of regulation, nutrient absorption, reproduction, and defense from injury or illness in animals;
(B)  describe the interactions that occur among systems that perform the functions of transport, reproduction, and response in plants; and
(C)  analyze the levels of organization in biological systems and relate the levels to each other and to the whole system.

Biological systems work to achieve and maintain balance. 

The student is expected to:
(A)  describe the role of internal feedback mechanisms in the maintenance of homeostasis;
(B)  investigate and analyze how organisms, populations, and communities respond to external factors;
(C)  summarize the role of microorganisms in both maintaining and disrupting the health of both organisms and ecosystems; and
(D)  describe how events and processes that occur during ecological succession can change populations and species diversity.
