North Carolina State Standards

  • 7.L.1.1 Students will know the structures and life functions of single-celled organisms that carry out all of the basic functions of life
  • 7.L.1.2 Students will know the structures and functions of plant and animal cells, including major organelles (cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, lysosomes and vacuoles).
  • 7.L.1.3 Students will summarize the hierarchical organization of multicellular organisms from cells to tissues to organs to systems to organisms.
  • 7.L.1.4 Students will summarize the general functions of the major systems of the human body (digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, and excretion) and ways that these systems interact with each other to sustain life.
  • 7.L.2.1: Students will know that somatic (body) cells go through the process of mitosis in order to grow and divide. Students will know each phase of mitosis. Students know that cells can grow and divide through budding, binary fission and regeneration as well as mitosis. Students will know that meiosis produces greater variation as a result of crossing over in chromosomes. Students know that there are similarities between meiosis and mitosis, but that mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction and meiosis is a form of sexual reproduction.
  • 7.L.2.2 Infer patterns of heredity using information from Punnett squares and pedigree analysis.
  • 7.L.2.3 Explain the impact of the environment and lifestyle choices on biological inheritance (to include common genetic diseases) and survival.
