Explain why constraints on technological design are unavoidable. Technological solutions have intended benefits and unintended consequences. Important levels of organization for structure and function include cells and whole organisms. Describe the basic characteristics of two of the kingdoms of organisms - fungi and plants. Compare and contrast vascular and nonvascular plants, flowering and non-flowering plants, and deciduous and coniferous trees.
Some diseases are the result of damage by infection by other organisms.
Some organisms reproduce asexually. Other organisms reproduce sexually. Identify the process of cell division as asexual reproduction. Identify where sexual spores are produced on mushrooms and explain how spores are dispersed. Observe, draw, and label the parts of a flower and examine their functions in sexual reproduction.
