Explain the importance of fungi as decomposters and their adadaptations to that role. Distinguish adaptations of various plants to survive and reproduce in different biomes. The human organism has muscular and skeletal systems for movement. Illustrate the parts and describe the functions of the skeletal and muscular systems including bones, muscles, ligaments, joints, and tendons. Disease is a breakdown in structures or functions of an organism.
Some diseases are the result of intrinsic failures of the system.
Water evaporates from the Earth's surface, rises and cools as it moves to higher elevations, condenses as rain or snow and falls to the survace where it collects in lakes, oceans, soil, and rocks underground. Identify, investigate and explain the processes of condensation, evaporation, precipitation, and runoff using a model or diagram. Relate the occurrence of water in the Earth's crust, oceans, and atmosphere to the water cycle processes. Analyze why precipitation occurs in the form of rain, sleet, hail, or snow. Water is a solvent.
