Я подозреваю, что наука сыграла не последнюю роль в выяснении того, как устроены цветок и жучок. Но вот, например, стандарты нашего штата для high school biology:
1. the pattern/process of reproduction and development is specific to different organisms
2. there is a relationship between the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration (for example: in terms of energy and products)
3. there is a purpose of synthesis and breakdown of macromolecules in an organism (for example: carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids serve as building blocks of proteins; carbon dioxide and water are the basic materials for building sugars through photosynthesis)
4. energy is used in the maintenance, repair, growth, and production of tissues
5. the human body functions in terms of interacting organ systems composed of specialized structures that maintain or restore health (for example: mechanisms involved in homeostasis [balance], such as feedback in the endocrine system)
6. changes in an ecosystem can affect biodiversity and biodiversity contributes to an ecosystem's dynamic equilibrium
7. there is a cycling of matter (for example: carbon, nitrogen) and the movement and change of energy through the ecosystem (for example: some energy dissipates as heat as it is transferred through a food web)
8. certain properties of water sustain life (for example: polarity, cohesion, solubility)
9. cellular organelles have specific functions (for example: the relationship of ribosomes to protein, and the relationship of mitochondria to energy transformation)
10. cell reproduction/division has various processes and purposes (mitosis, meiosis, binary fission)
11. DNA has a general structure and function and a role in heredity and protein synthesis (for example: replication of DNA and the role of RNA in protein synthesis)
12. genes serve as the vehicle for genetic continuity and the source of genetic diversity upon which natural selection can act
13. some traits can be inherited while others are due to the interaction of genes and the environment (for example: skin cancer triggered by over- exposure to sunlight or contact with chemical carcinogens)
14. organisms are classified into a hierarchy of groups and subgroups based on similarities which reflect their evolutionary relationships
15. mutation, natural selection, and reproductive isolation can lead to new species and affect biodiversity
16. an organism’s adaptations (for example, structure, behavior) determine its niche (role) in the environment
17. variation within a population improves the chances that the species will survive under new environmental conditions
18. organisms change over time in terms of biological evolution and genetics
