   Levels of Organization Cells	4 - Integrate (Investigations)	4 - I can integrate process standards in an investigation to discover more about this standard.	A. Multicellular organisms have levels of organization.	A.1 What are the levels of organization found within an organism. A.2 How are the levels of organization related? A.3 How do the levels of organization help an organism maintain homeostasis?

   Cells are composed of a variety of structures such as the nucleus, cell/plasma membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, ribosomes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

   1. The cell/plasma membrane functions (i.e., active transport, passive transport, diffusion, osmosis, and surface area to volume ratio) to maintain homeostasis.
   2. Differentiate among hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic conditions.
   3. Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
