EQ
|
1 |
Read, construct, and use a dichotomous key. |
How are classification systems used to organize all life on Earth? |
|
- Identify ways that classification systems reflect evolutionary relationships between organisms
|
|
- Explain how closely related organisms are in the same genus and share more characteristics then more distantly related organisms.
|
2 |
Fungi have distinct structures called hyphae which group to form mycelia |
What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproductive methods in fungi? |
3 |
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of sexual and asexual reproduction in mold |
|
- Explain the difference between haploid and diploid forms of fungi
|
|
- Explain the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction
|
4 |
Draw and explain the life cycle of a bread mold |
5 |
Describe ways plants of different major groups reproduce. |
What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproductive methods in plants? |
|
- Explain how major groups of plants differ based on their reproductive strategies.
|
|
- Compare the relative length of sporophyte/gametophyte generation between plant groups.
|
6 |
Explain why angiosperms are more successful than other types of plants |
|
- Describe two strategies flowering plants use to pollinate flowers.
|
|
- Describe two strategies flowering plants use to disperse their seeds.
|
7 |
Explain the evolutionary advantages of different animal groups |
What are reproductive and development patterns in animals? |
|
- Compare and contrast different reproductive strategies in vertebrates and invertebrates.
|
|
- Explain how body structures and systems improve as animals evolved (for example, blood circulation and the chambers of the heart).
|
8 |
Identify the structures in the nervous system and their functions |
What are regulatory systems in the human body? |
How do systems work together to maintain health? |
|
- The nervous system controls and coordinates functions throughout the body
|
|
- Describe how the nervous system uses feedback loops.
|
9 |
Identify the structures in the endocrine system and their functions |
|
- Glands release hormones that act on target cells in other places of the body.
|
|
- Diagram how endocrine feedback systems maintain homeostasis in the body’s metabolism level, water balance, calcium levels and other important systems
|
10 |
Identify the components of the immune system and their functions |
|
- Explain how the immune system maintains health
