General Biology
Classification April 22 - May 2
Questions to be answered about how the listed organisms accomplish …

•    Transport – How organisms get what they need to cells?  How they move waste from cells to organs of excretion?
•    Excretion – How organisms get rid of their waste and balance their fluids (pH, salt concentration, water)?
•    Regulation – How organisms control body processes – hormones, nervous system?
•    Respiration – How organisms get oxygen from the environment and release carbon dioxide back to the environment?  How plants exchange gases?
•    Nutrition – How organisms break down and absorb foods?
•    Synthesis – How organisms build necessary molecules?
•    Reproduction – How organisms attract a mate? How organisms reproduce in terms of the type of reproduction (sexual versus asexual), the production of eggs, the production of seeds, the production of spores, and the type of fertilization? 
•    Growth and development – How organisms develop from the fertilized egg?  How structures like the uterus and a seed provide support for the developing organism?  How young are cared for during early development?
•    Structure Adaptations - How does an organism’s structure increase the rate of its species survival? How does an organism’s behavior increase the rate of its species survival?
•    Reproductive Adaptations  - How do structural and behavioral adaptations increase the reproductive success of organisms to increase species survival?



H. Biology - the answers to the questions listed are covered in class and should be studied each night. These are essential concepts/questions that prepare the student for the upcoming test and end of course test (EOC).
