Describe, in general terms, the exchange of matter by the digestive and circulatory systems, the functional relationship between the two systems and the need for a healthy diet and lifestyle • assess the nutrient components of prepared foods by reading labels, and evaluate a variety of popular diets in terms of nutrient composition • explain, in general terms, how diets that include excessive amounts of certain foods may influence body function (e.g., cholesterol, salt, fats) • analyze and discuss mixed diets and vegetarian diets in meeting human nutritional needs • describe, in general terms, the intake of matter and its processing by the digestive system (e.g., foods are broken down into molecules that are absorbed into the blood stream from the intestine; food intake leads to increased blood sugar and mineral levels) • describe, in general terms, the role of the heart and lungs in the circulatory system and in the exchange and distribution of matter processed by the digestive system • analyze the functional relationship between the digestive and circulatory systems, recognizing the work of early physicians (e.g., William Harvey, Ivan Pavlov, William Beaumont) 2. Describe disorders of the digestive and circulatory systems as imbalances induced by genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors • describe, in general terms, how the digestive and circulatory systems interact to assist in the maintenance of balance (homeostasis) in the human organism • explain how normal fluctuations within the digestive system result in adjusting fluctuations in the circulatory system (e.g., ingestion of salt and increased blood pressure; the relationship between blood sugar and insulin production) • explain that illness and possibly death may result when the body cannot accommodate major disturbances within a system; i.e., digestive, excretory or circulatory (e.g., ulcers, heart attacks) • analyze and explain, in general terms, a technology that is used to diagnose imbalances (e.g., endoscope, stethoscope) or to intervene and preserve balance (homeostasis) (e.g., kidney dialysis machine, pacemaker) • evaluate the effect of social factors on human digestive and circulatory well-being and disorders (e.g., ulcers, anorexia, bulimia, high blood pressure, heart and arterial diseases as they relate to lack of fitness, unbalanced diets) 3. Describe, in general terms, the structure and function of plant and animal cell parts; and trace the development of the cell theory • relate human knowledge of cells to the development of the optical microscope and staining techniques (e.g., the work of Antony van Leeuwenhoek, Robert Hooke) • describe the structure of the major parts of plant and animal cells, including the cell membrane, nucleus, vacuole, mitochondrion, chloroplast and cell wall • describe, using analogies where appropriate, the functions of the major parts of plant and animal cells, including the cell membrane, nucleus, vacuole, mitochondrion, chloroplast and cell wall (e.g., compare cell functions to the functioning of a city) 2 Science 14 Unit C: Investigating Matter and Energy in Living Systems 4. Identify and compare, in general terms, the life functions common to living systems, from cells to organ systems • describe the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration in terms of biological energy storage; i.e., capture of energy from the Sun in glucose during photosynthesis, and the release of energy from glucose during respiration • identify life functions common to living systems; i.e., energy conversion, response to the environment, growth, reproduction, and conservation or dissipation of thermal energy (e.g., torpor, dormancy, hibernation, estivation, vascular skin, sweat gland behaviour) • identify organs and systems in plants and animals that carry out the above life functions • identify the major human organ systems that perform critical life functions; i.e., energy conversion, response to the environment, growth, reproduction, and conservation or dissipation of thermal energy • describe how cell structure has been adapted for specific life functions (e.g., stomata in the leaves for water balance; skin cells are flat to cover large surface area; plant cell walls provide structural support; nerve cells are long for transmission of impulses; storage of chemical energy in roots [e.g., sugar beets], stems [e.g., sugar cane] and fruits [e.g., apples]) • identify and describe the role of modern technology in monitoring critical life functions in humans (e.g., ultrasound, heart monitor, blood pressure cuff, blood glucose monitoring devices) 3
