processes.
SC.912.L.14.3-Compare and contrast the general structures of plant and animal cells. Compare and
contrast the general structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
SC.912.L.18.12-Discuss the special properties of water that contribute to Earth’s suitability as an
environment for life: cohesive behavior, ability to moderate temperature, expansion upon freezing, and
versatility as a solvent.
