S7L2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe how cell structures, cells,
tissues, organs, and organ systems interact to maintain the basic needs of organisms.
a. Develop a model and construct an explanation of how cell structures (specifically the
nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, lysosome, and mitochondria)
contribute to the function of the cell as a system in obtaining nutrients in order to grow,
reproduce, make needed materials, and process waste. (Clarification statement: The intent is
for students to demonstrate how the component structures of the cell interact and work
together to allow the cell as a whole to carry out various processes. Additional structures,
beyond those listed, will be addressed in high school Biology.)
b. Develop and use a conceptual model of how cells are organized into tissues, tissues into
organs, organs into systems, and systems into organisms.
c. Construct an argument that systems of the body (Cardiovascular, Excretory, Digestive,
Respiratory, Muscular, Nervous, and Immune) interact with one another to carry out life
processes. (Clarification statement: The emphasis is not on learning individual structures and
functions associated with each system, but on how systems interact to support life
processes.) please help find the nouns
