CS.3 Life Science: Structure and Function in Living Systems

Standards

Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > G.6 > Life Science > S.3

Structure and Function in Living Systems - Living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure and function. The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:

Cells are the building blocks of all organisms (both plants and animals).

Plant and animal cells have similarities and differences (i.e., nucleus, mitochondria, cell wall, plasma membrane, chloroplast, and vacuole).
