Additional Ideas for Developing Investigations and Learning Experiences and Suggested Extensions to Learning in Technology/Engineering are in Appendix III.
| 2.1 | Relate cell parts/organelles to their functions.* |
| 2.2 | Differentiate between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, in terms of their general structures and degrees of complexity.* |
| 2.3 | Distinguish between plant and animal cells.* |
| 2.4 | Describe how cells function in a narrow range of physical conditions, such as temperature and pH, to perform life functions that help to maintain homeostasis. |
| 2.5 | Explain the role of cell membranes as a highly selective barrier (diffusion, osmosis, and active transport).* |
| 2.6 | Identify the reactants and products in the general reaction of photosynthesis. Describe the use of isotopes in this identification. |
| 2.7 | Provide evidence that the organic compounds produced by plants are the primary source of energy and nutrients for most living things.* |
| 2.8 | Identify how cellular respiration is important for the production of ATP. |
| 2.9 | Explain the interrelated nature of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.* |
| 2.10 | Describe and compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis, and their role in the cell cycle.* |
