Goal C: The learner will understand that cells are the basic units of life. The functions performed by organelles (specialized structures found in cells) within individual cells are also carried out by the organ system in multi-cellular organisms. This standard requires that students be conversant with magnifying devices, cell structure and function, body systems, and disease causes and the body’s defense against them.
