HOW IS LIFE UNIQUE?
|
Our first unit takes us through biomolecules and homeostasis. We will learn about different biomolecules and their specific functions in our bodies. All body process rely on different biomolecules - that help to maintain a balance, or homeostasis in our body.

- I CAN describe the four biomolecules and explain where they are found and how they are used in our cells.
- I CAN identify and explain the factors that affect enzyme function.
- I CAN model and describe the processes of diffusion/osmosis and how the cell uses them to maintain homeostasis.
- I CAN identify a positive or negative feedback loop and describe how they help cells/organisms to maintain homeostasis
At the culmination of our Unit 1 work, all students will be able to complete the I CAN statements above.
