Cell Processes

Virginia SOL BIOII.2

Investigate how cell processes support survival and serve as a foundation for more complex systems in multicellular organisms.

Study BIOII.2 with SOL PrepBack to Biology II Advanced Survey

What students need to be able to do

  • Explain how cell structures and organelles interact as a system to maintain homeostasis in the cell and the organism.
  • Develop and use a model to explain how the cell membrane allows for selective permeability and maintains the internal environment of the cell.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how a cell's form fits its function within a multicellular organism.
  • Develop and use models to explain the different processes of asexual reproduction (budding, vegetative propagation, binary fission, fragmentation, and sporogenesis).
  • Describe how cell communication and cell specialization support cellular processes (regulation of cell growth, cell division, and cell energetics).
  • Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the relationship between feedback mechanisms and homeostasis.
