 * **What we want you to be able to do** || **Resources** ||
 * 1. Compare and contrast the characteristics of living and non-living things. || What links or text references can you add here? ||
 * 2. Examine the differences (shape, color, oganelles, size) between plant and animal cells with a microscope ||  ||
 * 3. Explain how the structure of the cell membrane is related to the selectrively permeable nature of the the transportatino of certain materials across the cell membrane using diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, active transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis ||  ||
 * 4. Explain how chloroplasts and mitochondria contribute in producing chemical energy for the cell through the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis (use balanced equations in describing the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis and identify the reactants and products in the equations) ||  ||
 * 5. Compare and contrast the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis ||  ||
 * 6. Explain how the nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosome, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus contribute to the process of protein synthesis ||  ||
 * 7. Investigate and compare the properties of acids, bases, and indicators ||  ||
 * 8. Discover how pH affects the effectiveness of an enzyme ||  ||
 * 9. Explain how diffusion plays a major role in the transportation of substances through the cell membrane and in the digestive system, respiratory system, and circulatory system ||  ||
 * 10. Examine how the digestive system, respiratory system, and circulatory system function together in order to provide cells in humans with essential nutrients needed for life (oxygen gas, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids) ||  ||
 * 11. Examine how the respiratory system and circulatory system function together in order to get ride of carbon dioxide waste ||  ||
