TEKS

TEKS Covered in This Unit:

(5) Matter and energy. The student knows that interactions occur between matter and energy. The student is expected to:

(A) recognize that radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis; and

(B) diagram the flow of energy through living systems, including food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids.

(7) Force, motion, and energy. The student knows that there is a relationship among force, motion, and energy. The student is expected to:

(A) illustrate the transformation of energy within an organism such as the transfer from chemical energy to thermal energy; and

(12) Organisms and environments. The student knows that living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure and function. The student is expected to:

(C) recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms;
