Outcomes

Apply the iterative process of science to generate and answer biological questions by analyzing data and drawing conclusions that are based on empirical evidence and current scientific understanding. Use evidence to develop informed opinions on contemporary biological issues and explain the implications of those issues on society. Explain how morphology relates to physiology across diverse organisms. Describe how biological systems detect and respond to different internal/external environmental conditions through feedback. Compare and contrast strategies for achieving homeostasis. Explain how developmental and environmental processes influence the evolution of structures, functions, and life cycles across diverse organisms.
