- OGS.11.LS.CB.1Explain the biological importance of water, bioelements, and macromolecular structures—carbohydrates (glycosidic bonds), proteins (primary to quaternary structures and denaturation), lipids (ester bonds), and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA).
- OGS.11.LS.CB.2Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cellular ultrastructures, model membrane transport mechanisms (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, osmosis/plasmolysis), and evaluate endosymbiotic theory.
- OGS.11.LS.CB.3Investigate enzyme kinetics, active sites, substrate specificity, allosteric regulation, feedback inhibition, and investigate environmental influences (pH, temperature, substrate concentration) on catalytic rates.
- OGS.11.LS.CB.4Model cellular respiration (glycolysis, transition step, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation/chemiosmosis, fermentation) and photosynthesis (light-dependent photosystems, photophosphorylation, Calvin cycle, C3/C4/CAM adaptations).
- OGS.11.LS.CB.5Model the eukaryotic cell cycle, DNA replication mechanism with enzymatic action (helicase, primase, DNA polymerase, ligase), chromosome dynamics during mitosis and meiosis, cytokinesis, and programmed cell death (apoptosis).
