Maintaining Homeostasis and Biochemistry3As a result of these chemical reactions, energy is transferred from one system of interacting molecules to another and release energy to the surrounding environment and to maintain body temperature. Cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and new compounds are formed that can transport energy to muscles. (HS-LS1-7)I can explain how the body maintains homeostasis to keep the body safe within limitsLabs; worksheets; quizzesTest
4
Feedback mechanisms maintain a living system’s internal conditions within certain limits and mediate behaviors, allowing it to remain alive and functional even as external conditions change within some range. Feedback mechanisms can encourage (through positive feedback) or discourage (negative feedback) what is going on inside the living system. (HS-LS1-3)I can differentiate between the feedback mechanisms and give examples of each
5
Systems of the Human Body15Systems of specialized cells within organisms help them perform the essential functions of life. (HS-LS1-1)I can differentiate between the cell types in various systems of the bodyLabs; worksheets; quizzesTest
6
Multicellular organisms have a hierarchical structural organization, in which any one system is made up of numerous parts and is itself a component of the next level. (HS-LS1-2)I can explain the importance of various systems of the bodyLabs; worksheets; quizzesTest
