Biochemical processes are the chemical processes that occur in living things. Photosynthesis vs. respiration.

Dynamic equilibrium is the steady state of an organism maintained by constant small corrections that keeps the internal environment in the limits for survival.

Topic: Homeostasis in Organisms

Positive and negative feedback keeps an organism in homeostasis.

Disease is a failure of homeostasis; causes and examples.

Human Immune systems have many cells specialized to fight disease.

Examples:

Lab- Photosynthesis vs. Respiration	Lab- The endocrine system	Lab- The structure of a leaf	Internet Lab- Microorganisms and Disease
		Lab- The Human Menstrual Cycle

Enduring Understanding (s): Organisms maintain a dynamic equilibrium that sustains life._________________________________________________

Essential Question (s): _Why do we run a fever when we have an infection? How is a thermostat or cruise control like homeostasis? Why must a transplant recipient take immune suppressing drugs? Why do deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall?______________________________________________________
