Recognize that according to cell theory all organisms are composed of cells and cells carry on
similar functions such as extracting energy from food to sustain life. (Supporting Standard)
Differentiate between structure and function in plant and animal cell organelles, including
cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, chloroplast and vacuole.
(Supporting Standard)
Compare the functions of a cell to the functions of organisms such as waste removal.
Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs, organ
systems, and organisms.
Identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic,
unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that
further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms. (Supporting Standard)
