All organisms are made of one or many independent living units,
cells.
Eukaryotic cells typically have
internal membrane-bound
organelles. Prokaryote cells
do not.
Organelles carry specific
functions in the cell. Prokaryotes
get these functions from
the cell membranes
The compartments of organelles enable greater complexity of cell functions
Nucleus, ER, Golgi are
involved in the synthesis of
proteins that will be associated
with membranes.

Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems
Energy is transferred
through molecular
processes in cells.
In Photosynthesis energy from light is used to energize the bonding the bonding of six carbons into a glucose molecule.
Most energy for living things come from captured light
energy by photosynthetic green plants.
Photosynthesis can be controlled by the opening and closing of
stomata in the leaf
While atoms are rearranged, energy
is transferred between systems.

Mini unit: PHOTOSYNTHESIS
In addition to glucose,
Photosynthesis also produces
oxygen as a by product.
The raw material for glucose,
Carbon dioxide, is absorbed in leaves through structures
called stomata
Photosynthesis in phytoplankton in follows the same concepts as photosynthesis in land plants.
Chemosynthesis in bacteria that live in hot ocean vents use chemical energy (in H2S) instead of light for energy, but also produce glucose from CO2 in the waters.
HS-LS1-5Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on illustrating inputs and outputs of matter and the transfer and transformation of energy in photosynthesis by plants and other photosynthesizing organisms. Examples of models could include diagrams, chemical equations, and conceptual models.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include specific biochemical steps.]

LS1.C: Organization for matter and energy flow in organisms - HS● The process of photosynthesis converts light energy to stored chemical energy by converting carbon dioxide plus water into sugars plus released oxygen. The sugar molecules thus formed contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; ● their hydrocarbon backbones are used to make amino acids and other carbon-based molecules that can be assembled into larger molecules (such as proteins or DNA), used for example to form new cells. ● As matter and energy flow through different organizational levels of living systems, chemical elements are recombined in different ways to form different products.

Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems
Matter and energy flow through
different organizational levels of living
systems.
Food is consumed by living organisms. It contains proteins,
carbohydrates, and fats (lipids)
Food molecules macromolecules that
contain the elements C, H and O
The large molecules are
broken down by the digestive system into
smaller molecules, by mechanical processes and
enzymes.
Enzymes are proteins that
speed up chemical reactions. They
have a three dimensional shape
that fits the reactants
(substrates)
The smaller molecules include
glucose and amino acids.
Macromolecules are made of many smaller
molecules, called subunits or monomers.
The Small molecules are
absorbed into the bloodstream through the
intestines, and delivered to cells throughout the
organism.
The small molecules are
then transported into the cells, and undergo chemical
reactions.
Some of the small molecules can be building blocks for new carbon-based molecules of cell
structure.
Some of the small molecules are used in cellular
respiration
In the cells, glucose is broken down by cellular
respiration..
In a series of reactions glucose is broken down that result in the
release and storage of energy.
This energy is captured in a
molecule called ATP. Unlike glucose, the
energy in ATP is usable for the
cell’s processes.
For example, ATP is used by the muscle cell to
contract.
The carbon from the glucose chain are released to the
atmosphere (along with water) as single carbon
in the form of CO2.
Most of the energy from ATP will be
used for movement, build
up of structures in cells.
Some of the energy from
ATP will not be stored, and will
released as heat, which will keep the body
warm.
Oxygen increases the efficiency of respiration, but
some organisms or body cells can
use the less efficient anaerobic
process..

LS1.A: Structure and Function – MS:● All living things are made up of cells, which is the smallest unit that can be said to be alive. An organism may consist of one single cell (unicellular) or many different numbers and types of cells (multicellular). Unicellular organisms (microorganisms), like multicellular organisms, need food, water, a way to dispose of waste, and an environment in which they can live.● Within cells, special structures are responsible for particular functions, and the cell membrane forms the boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell. (Boundary: At this grade level, only a few major cell structures should be introduced.)● In multicellular organisms, the body is a system of multiple interacting subsystems. These subsystems are groups of cells that work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions.
LS1.A: Structure and Function – HS:● Systems of specialized cells within organisms help them perform the essential functions of life, which involve chemical reactions that take place between different types of molecules, such as water, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. ● All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins, which carry out most of the work of cells. ● Multicellular organisms have a hierarchical structural organization, in which any one system is made up of numerous parts and is itself a component of the next level. ● Feedback mechanisms maintain a living system’s internal conditions within certain limits and mediate behaviors, allowing it to remain alive and functional even as external conditions change within some range. Outside that range (e.g., at a too high or too low external temperature, with too little food or water available), the organism cannot survive. Feedback mechanisms can encourage (through positive feedback) or discourage (negative feedback) what is going on inside the living system.
LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms - MS● Organisms reproduce, either sexually or asexually, and transfer their genetic information to their offspring. Animals engage in characteristic behaviors that increase the odds of reproduction. ● Plants reproduce in a variety of ways, sometimes depending on animal behavior and specialized features (such as attractively colored flowers) for reproduction. ● Plant growth can continue throughout the plant’s life through production of plant matter in photosynthesis. Genetic factors as well as local conditions affect the size of the adult plant. ● The growth of an animal is controlled by genetic factors, food intake, and interactions with other organisms, and each species has a typical adult size range. (Boundary: Reproduction is not treated in any detail here; for more specifics about grade level, see LS3.A.)
LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms - HS● In multicellular organisms individual cells grow and then divide via a process called mitosis, thereby allowing the organism to grow. ● The organism begins as a single cell (fertilized egg) that divides successively to produce many cells, with each parent cell passing identical genetic material (two variants of each chromosome pair) to both daughter cells. ● As successive subdivisions of an embryo’s cells occur, programmed genetic instructions and small differences in their immediate environments activate or inactivate different genes, which cause the cells to develop differently—a process called differentiation.● Cellular division and differentiation produce and maintain a complex organism, composed of systems of tissues and organs that work together to meet the needs of the whole organism. In sexual reproduction, a specialized type of cell division called meiosis occurs that results in the production of sex cells, such as gametes in animals (sperm and eggs), which contain only one member from each chromosome pair in the parent cell.
LS1.C: Organization for matter and energy flow in organisms - MS● Plants, algae (including phytoplankton), and many microorganisms use the energy from light to make sugars (food) from carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water through the process of photosynthesis, which also releases oxygen. ● These sugars can be used immediately or stored for growth or later use. ● Animals obtain food from eating plants or eating other animals. ● Within individual organisms, food moves through a series of chemical reactions in which it is broken down and rearranged to form new molecules, to support growth, or to release energy. In most animals and plants, oxygen reacts with carbon-containing molecules (sugars) to provide energy and produce carbon dioxide; ● Anaerobic bacteria achieve their energy needs in other chemical processes that do not require oxygen.
LS1.C: Organization for matter and energy flow in organisms - HS● The process of photosynthesis converts light energy to stored chemical energy by converting carbon dioxide plus water into sugars plus released oxygen. The sugar molecules thus formed contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; ● their hydrocarbon backbones are used to make amino acids and other carbon-based molecules that can be assembled into larger molecules (such as proteins or DNA), used for example to form new cells. ● As matter and energy flow through different organizational levels of living systems, chemical elements are recombined in different ways to form different products. ● As a result of these chemical reactions, energy is transferred from one system of interacting molecules to another. For example, aerobic (in the presence of oxygen) cellular respiration is a chemical process in which the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and new compounds are formed that can transport energy to muscles. ● Anaerobic (without oxygen) cellular respiration follows a different and less efficient chemical pathway to provide energy in cells. ● Cellular respiration also releases the energy needed to maintain body temperature despite ongoing energy loss to the surrounding environment. ● Matter and energy are conserved in each change. This is true of all biological systems, from individual cells to ecosystems.
