Sample: Producers transform energy from sunlight into energy that can be used by their cells. These
bacteria are a source of food for other organisms. Decomposers get energy by breaking down the
materials in dead or decaying organisms. They recycle the materials in these organisms. Parasites
live inside or on the surface of other organisms and cause harm to these organisms.

Extended Response Rubric
6 points for a response that correctly describes the four common characteristics of life (4 parts - 1
part for each characteristic) and then explains why all living things need energy and materials (2
parts - 1 part for energy and 1 part for materials), (6 parts total)
Sample: Organization includes the structured bodies that living things have. These structures can
separate organisms from their environment and help them get energy, move, and sense their
environment. Growth involves increasing in size. Even single-celled organisms become larger cells
over time. All living things can form other organisms like themselves. This process is called
reproduction. During reproduction a parent passes a copy of its DNA to its offspring. Response
includes the reactions that all living things have to changes in their environments.
In order for an organism to display all four characteristics of life, it needs energy. Energy allows it to
perform necessary life processes such as growing and moving. All living things also need materials
from their environment. One important material is water. Water is involved in many reactions that
take place in a cell.

Standards Summary
NSES C.1.a
Living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the
complementary nature of structure and function. Important levels
of organization for structure and function include cells, organs,
tissues, organ systems, whole organisms, and ecosystems.
NSES C.1.b
All organisms are composed of cells-the fundamental unit of life.
Most organisms are single cells; other organisms, including
humans, are multicellular.
NSES C.1.f
Disease is a breakdown in structures or functions of an organism.
Some diseases are the result of intrinsic failures of the system.
Others are the result of damage by infection by other organisms.
NSES C.2.a
Reproduction is a characteristic of all living systems; because no
individual organism lives forever, reproduction is essential to the
continuation of every species. Some organisms reproduce
asexually. Other organisms reproduce sexually.
NSES C.2.d
Hereditary information is contained in genes, located in the
chromosomes of each cell. Each gene carries a single unit of
information. An inherited trait of an individual can be determined
by one or by many genes, and a single gene can influence more
than one trait. A human cell contains many thousands of different
genes.
NSES C.3.a
All organisms must be able to obtain and use resources, grow,
reproduce, and maintain stable internal conditions while living in a
constantly changing external environment.
NSES C.3.d
An organism's behavior evolves through adaptation to its
environment. How a species moves, obtains food, reproduces,
and responds to danger are based in the species' evolutionary
history.
NSES C.4.b
Populations of organisms can be categorized by the function they
serve in an ecosystem. Plants and some micro-organisms are
producers-they make their own food. All animals, including
humans, are consumers, which obtain food by eating other
organisms. Decomposers, primarily bacteria and fungi, are
consumers that use waste materials and dead organisms for food.
Food webs identify the relationships among producers,
consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem.
NSES C.4.c
For ecosystems, the major source of energy is sunlight. Energy
entering ecosystems as sunlight is transferred by producers into
chemical energy through photosynthesis. That energy then passes
from organism to organism in food webs.

NY 4.B.1.a.1
Living things are composed of cells. Cells provide structure and
carry on major functions to sustain life. Cells are usually
microscopic in size.
NY 4.B.1.a.5
Cells are organized for more effective functioning in multicellular
organisms. Levels of organization for structure and function of a
multicellular organism include cells, tissues, organs, and organ
systems.
NY 4.B.1.a
compare and contrast the parts of plants, animals, and one-celled
organisms
NY 4.B.1
Living things are both similar to and different from each other and
nonliving things.
NY 4.B.3
Individual organisms and species change over time.
NY 4.B.4
The continuity of life is sustained through reproduction and
development.
NY 4.B.5.a.3
All organisms require energy to survive. The amount of energy
needed and the method for obtaining this energy vary among
cells. Some cells use oxygen to release the energy stored in food.
NY 4.B.5
Organisms maintain a dynamic equilibrium that sustains life.
P2061 5.A.1
One of the most general distinctions among organisms is between
plants, which use sunlight to make their own food, and animals,
which consume energy-rich foods. Some kinds of organisms,
many of them microscopic, cannot be neatly classified as either
plants or animals.
P2061 5.A.3
Similarities among organisms are found in internal anatomical
features, which can be used to infer the degree of relatedness
among organisms. In classifying organisms, biologists consider
details of internal and external structures to be more important
than behavior or general appearance.
P2061 5.A.5
All organisms, including the human species, are part of and
depend on two main interconnected global food webs. One
includes microscopic ocean plants, the animals that feed on them,
and finally the animals that feed on those animals. The other web
includes land plants, the animals that feed on them, and so forth.
The cycles continue indefinitely because organisms decompose
after death to return food material to the environment.

P2061 5.B.2
In sexual reproduction, a single specialized cell from a female
merges with a specialized cell from a male. As the fertilized egg,
carrying genetic information from each parent, multiplies to form
the complete organism with about a trillion cells, the same genetic
information is copied in each cell.
P2061 5.C.1
All living things are composed of cells, from just one to many
millions, whose details usually are visible only through a
microscope. Different body tissues and organs are made up of
different kinds of cells. The cells in similar tissues and organs in
other animals are similar to those in human beings but differ
somewhat from cells found in plants.
P2061 5.C.2
Cells repeatedly divide to make more cells for growth and repair.
Various organs and tissues function to serve the needs of cells for
food, air, and waste removal.
P2061 5.C.3
Within cells, many of the basic functions of organisms-such as
extracting energy from food and getting rid of waste-are carried
out. The way in which cells function is similar in all living
organisms.
P2061 5.D.1
In all environments-freshwater, marine, forest, desert, grassland,
mountain, and others-organisms with similar needs may compete
with one another for resources, including food, space, water, air,
and shelter. In any particular environment, the growth and survival
of organisms depend on the physical conditions.
P2061 5.D.2
Two types of organisms may interact with one another in several
ways: They may be in a producer/consumer, predator/prey, or
parasite/host relationship. Or one organism may scavenge or
decompose another. Relationships may be competitive or mutually
beneficial. Some species have become so adapted to each other
that neither could survive without the other.
P2061 5.E.1
Food provides molecules that serve as fuel and building material
for all organisms. Plants use the energy in light to make sugars
out of carbon dioxide and water. This food can be used
immediately for fuel or materials or it may be stored for later use.
Organisms that eat plants break down the plant structures to
produce the materials and energy they need to survive. Then they
are consumed by other organisms.
P2061 5.E.2
Over a long time, matter is transferred from one organism to
another repeatedly and between organisms and their physical
environment. As in all material systems, the total amount of matter
remains constant, even though its form and location change.
