What does CER stand for?
Claim, Evidence, Reasoning
In the model PMC, what does (P) stand for and its definition?
Program - genetic code (DNA) or (RNA), growth, and reproduce
In the model PMC, what does (M) stand for and its definition?
Meabolism - food, break down, cellularespiration (plants), and builds proteins
In the model PMC, what does (C) stand for and its definition?
Container - sperates internal from external, controls internal conditions
What does the body use energy for?
- Maintaining the body’s essential functions.
- Enabling physical activity and movement.
- Allowing for growth and repair of tissues
What is the smallest level of organization?
Atom
What is the biggest level of organization?
Biome Sphere
What are examples of biotic things?
Corn, bread mold, chicken egg
What are examples of abiotic things?
Coal, turkey (sliced), wood
What is an example of a function what would be considered as a container.
The skin
Name of levels of organization in order from smallest to biggest.
Atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere
What is the definition of atom?
The smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically.
What is the definition of molecule organelle?
A specialized subunit, usually within a cell, that has a specific function.
Use CER, A virus is not a living thing.
Claim - A virus is not a living thing
Evidence - A virus is made out of cells, they can’t keep themselves in a stable state, they don’t grow, and they can’t make their own energy.
Reasoning - Viruses only have 2-3 of the four main groups of biomolecules required to live.
