7

Match the following characteristics of life with the correct scenario.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Growth and Development		a bacteria and an elephant are both organisms and have similarities although an elephant is made of many while a bacteria is only made of one.
Maintaince of Internal Environment (Homeostasis)		a yeast cell produces more yeast by the process of budding
Response to Environment		the idea that a puppy will become an adult dog
Reproduction		plants build up simple molecules into glucose to store energy
Metabolism		a herd of zebras take off running when a pride of lions start to hunt
Evolution		although it is hot outside a bald eagle constantly has a body temperature between 104-106 degrees Fahrenheit
Cell		whales were originally land animals

CCC: Connection/Systems and System Models

Scenario: Amber and Yaniel saw a chair covered in a light gray-green material. Amber believes the chair is rusting, while Yaniel thinks the material is alive.

Your Task:
a. What are three key characteristics that define something as "alive" in biology?

b. For each characteristic, explain a simple test Amber and Yaniel could perform to determine if the material on the chair is alive.

Required

PE: Connection/Systems and System Models

Based on the image provided, choose one of the body systems.
Explain how its structures and functions work together to create a system.
Explain how your chosen system relates to the overall function of the entire organism.

CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) Worth 15 pts

Scenario: You observed a video of a honeybee colony, showing bees flying from the hive to a field of flowers and returning with pollen and nectar. The hive itself contains distinct structures for housing the queen, storing honey, and raising young.

Question: Evaluate whether a honeybee colony functions as a biological system.

A. Claim: State your position on the question.

B. Evidence: Provide specific evidence from the scenario to support your claim.

C. Reasoning: Explain the scientific principles that connect your evidence to your claim. In your explanation, describe how the way the colony's parts work together creates a new, combined result that you wouldn't see from just one bee. Be sure to include at least four of the following vocabulary words in your explanation:
Vocabulary: boundary, energy, matter, input, output, interconnected, components
