Finer grained standards that are part of this one
Complex multicellular organisms have systems that interact to carry out life processes through physical and chemical means
The cell contains a set of structures called organelles that interact to carry out life processes through physical and chemical means
All living organisms have genetic material (DNA) that carries hereditary information
Cells carry out chemical transformations that use energy for the synthesis or breakdown of organic compounds
Protein structure and function are coded by the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule
Cellular activities and responses can maintain stability internally while external conditions are changing (homeostasis)
Life processes can be disrupted by disease (intrinsic failures of the organ systems or by infection due to other organisms)
