LS 1a: Cells have particular structures that underlie their functions.
LS 1c:
Cells store and use information to guide their functions
LS 1d:
Cell functions are regulated.
LS 1f:
Cells can differentiate. Complex multicellular organisms are formed from highly organized arrangements of differentiated cells.
LS 2a:
In all organisms, the instructions for specifying the characteristics of the organisms are carried in DNA.
LS 3a:
Species evolve over time.
LS 3b:
The great diversity of organisms is the result of more than 3.5 billion years of evolution that has filled every available niche with life-forms.
LS 3d:
The millions of different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms that live on Earth today are related by descent from common ancestors.
LS 4c:
Organisms both cooperate and compete in ecosystems.
LS 4e: Human beings live within the world's ecosystems.
LS 4d: Living organisms have the capacity to produce populations of infinite size, but environments and resources are finite.
LS 5d: The complexity and organization of organisms accommodates the need for obtaining, transforming, transporting, releasing, and eliminating the matter and energy used to sustain the organism.
