Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to maintain homeostasis.
Enduring Understanding:
2.A.2: Organisms capture and store free energy for use in biological processes.
2.A.3: Organisms must exchange matter with the environment to grow, to reproduce and maintain organization.
4.A.2: The structure and function of subcellular components, and their interactions, provide essential cellular processes.
Required Reading:
Campbell: Chapter 10, 9
