PASS Strand:
5. Matter, Energy, and Organization in Living Systems

Objectives:

1. The complexity and organization of organisms accommodates the need for obtaining, transforming, transporting, releasing, and eliminating the matter and energy used to sustain the organism (i.e., photosynthesis and cellular respiration).
