At the cellular level, the plasma membrane, cytoplasm and, for eukaryotes, the organelles contribute to the overall specialization and functioning of the cell.2. Within multicellular organisms, specialization of organs contributes to the overall functioning of the organism.To demonstrate student understanding of this concept, make sure you can explain the following:Exchange of gasesCirculation of fluidsDigestion of foodExcretion of wastes3. Interactions among cells of a population of unicellular organisms can be similar to those of multicellular organisms, and these interactions lead to increased efficiency and utilization of energy and matter.To demonstrate student understanding of this concept, make sure you can explain the following:Bacterial community in the rumen of animalsBacterial community in and around deep sea ventsStudent Objectives:Explain how at the cellular level, the plasma membrane, cytoplasm and, for eukaryotes, the organelles contribute to the overall specialization and functioning of the cell. Using the examples below to illustrate how specialization of organs contributes to the overall functioning of the organism.Exchange of gasesCirculation of fluidsDigestion of foodExcretion of wastesUsing the examples below to explain how Interactions among cells of a population of unicellular organisms can be similar to those of multicellular organisms, and these interactions lead to increased efficiency and utilization of energy and matter.Bacterial community in the rumen of animalsBacterial community in and around deep sea ventsLearning Objective:The student is able to use representations and models to analyze how cooperative interactions within organisms promote efficiency in the use of energy and matter. ................
