CELLS

Cells are the basic structures of all living things with specialized parts that perform specific functions and that viruses are different from cells.

1.  prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
2. cellular processes: homeostasis, energy conversions, transport of molecules, and synthesis of new molecules
3. viruses vs cells: 
4. viral reproduction - role of viruses in causing diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and influenza.
   

Organisms grow and cell differentiate

1. stages of the cell cycle, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and mitosis, and the importance of the cell cycle to the growth of organisms;
2. examine specialized cells, including roots, stems, and leaves of plants; and animal cells such as blood, muscle, and epithelium;
3. describe the roles of DNA, ribonucleic acid (RNA), and environmental factors in cell differentiation; and
4. recognize that disruptions of the cell cycle lead to diseases such as cancer.
