Evolutionary Classification Project – Due May 1, 2014
SB3. Derive the relationship between single-celled and multi-celled organisms
and the increasing complexity of systems.
a. Relate the complexity and organization of organisms to their ability for obtaining,
transforming, transporting, releasing, and eliminating the matter and energy used to
sustain the organism.
b. Examine the evolutionary basis of modern classification systems. (six kingdoms)
SB5. Evaluate the role of natural selection in the development of the theory of evolution.
b. Explain the history of life in terms of biodiversity, ancestry, and the rates of evolution
d. Relate natural selection to changes in organisms.
e. Recognize the role of evolution to biological resistance (pesticide and antibiotic resistance).
