Unit Conversions 2 - Scientific Notation and Significant Digits
B3.1: explain the four primary vital signs in humans (i.e., body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate)
C2.1: use appropriate terminology related to pathogens and diseases, including, but not limited to: parasite, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and vector
C3.1: describe the characteristics and life cycles, including reproductive cycles, of representative pathogens (e.g., lysogenic cycle; lytic cycle; infectious cycle of malaria)
D2.1: use appropriate terminology related to nutritional science, including, but not limited to: macromolecules, protein, starch, vitamin, carbohydrate, fats, lipids, pepsin, and amylase
Digestive System
Identifying Nutrients
D2.2: plan and conduct chemical tests on a variety of foods to determine their chemical components (e.g., protein, starch, fats, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins)
D2.3: investigate how enzymes break down macromolecules (e.g., amylase digests starch; pepsin and hydrochloric acid digest protein), and test the products of different types of digestion (e.g., use Benedict’s solution to test for the presence of simple sugars produced by the digestion of carbohydrates)
Digestive System
Identifying Nutrients
D2.4: investigate the process of emulsification in fats and lipids (e.g., using commercially obtained bile and cooking oil)
D2.5: conduct titrations to determine the effects of various antacids on hydrochloric acid
D3.1: describe the basic chemical components of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and lipids, and vitamins and minerals, and explain their functions in the body
D3.4: describe the structure and function of the components of the digestive system (e.g., mouth, tongue, epiglottis, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, appendix, rectum, anus, salivary glands, saliva, bile) with respect to physical and chemical digestion
F2.1: use appropriate terminology related to biotechnology, including, but not limited to: selective breeding, hybridization, replication, mutation, genomics, and gene therapy
