Biology TEKS Correlations
(4) Science concepts. The student knows that cells are the basic structures of all
living things and have specialized parts that perform specific functions, and that
viruses are different from cells and have different properties and functions. The
student is expected to:
(B)investigate and identify cellular processes including homeostasis, permeability, energy production, transportation of molecules, disposal of wastes, function of cellular parts, and synthesis of new molecules;
