Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Human Body Systems ~ NGSS Link LS1.A-M.3

In multicellular organisms, the body is a system of multiple interacting subsystems. These subsystems are groups of cells that work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions.

Items associated with this NGSS statement in this project (Original Project) and key idea (Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and molecul…)
Item ID Number	Item Description	Select This Item for My Item Bank
BF075004	Blood carries both oxygen molecules and simple sugar molecules to cells of your leg muscles.
BF051004	Blood carries oxygen to cells and carries carbon dioxide away from cells.
BF057007	Molecules pass through the walls of microscopically small blood vessels but not through the walls of large blood vessels.
BF016005	Oxygen is carried by blood to cells of the body, but carbon dioxide is not carried by the blood to cells of the body.
BF095004	Capillaries are found in body organs such as the brain, lungs, and intestines, and capillaries are also found inside external parts of the body such as arms, legs, hands, and feet.
BF018005	Small molecules like amino acids can pass through capillary walls but large molecules like proteins cannot.
BF126001	Neither large molecules like proteins nor small molecules like amino acids can pass through the walls of arteries and veins.
BF056006	Capillaries allow small molecules like amino acids to pass through their walls but not large molecules like proteins. Molecules do not pass through the walls of large blood vessels.
BF134001	Molecules from food and molecules of oxygen are carried by a network of arteries, veins, and microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries) to the rest of the body.
BF135001	Blood stays within blood vessels and moves to all parts of the body.
BF136001	Small molecules like amino acids can pass through capillary walls, but large molecules like proteins cannot.
BF144002	Molecules from food travel from the mouth to the digestive tract and then travel through a series of blood vessels to the cells in the rest of the body.
BF122003	Blood stays within blood vessels and moves to all parts of the body.

Items associated with this NGSS statement in this project (Original Project) and other key ideas
CE056001	Cells make up the basic structure of organisms and perform the basic life functions of organisms.
BF038004	Amino acids enter the circulatory system from the digestive system by passing through the walls of microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries), but proteins do not.
BF012006	Molecules from food get from the digestive tract to the cells of the brain and the cells of the skin by way of the circulatory system.
BF127001	The circulatory system carries products of protein digestion from the digestive tract to cells of both the brain and cells of the skin.
BF128001	The circulatory system carries products of carbohydrate digestion from the digestive tract to cells of both the brain and the skin.
BF129001	The circulatory system carries amino acids from the digestive tract to cells of both the brain and the skin.
BF130001	The circulatory system carries simple sugars from the digestive tract to cells of both the brain and the skin.
BF131001	The circulatory system carries products of digestion from the digestive tract to cells of both the brain and the skin.
BF132001	Molecules from food are absorbed through the walls of microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries). These molecules then move through the circulatory system to all parts of the body.
BF133001	Molecules from food and molecules of oxygen move from the mouth and the nose to cells of the body through a series of blood vessels, including veins, arteries, and microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries), that extend throughout the body.
BF048005	Carbon dioxide in the blood decreases and oxygen increases as blood passes through the lungs. (Version using graphs to show changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen)
BF030010	The lungs both take in oxygen molecules and eliminate carbon dioxide molecules.
BF089002	Both oxygen molecules and carbon dioxide molecules move between the lungs and the blood through the walls of capillaries.
BF044005	Most oxygen molecules move from the lungs to the blood by entering capillaries.
BF092004	Carbon dioxide in the blood decreases and oxygen increases as blood passes through the lungs. (Version using graphs to show changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen)
BF137001	Molecules from food in the digestive tract are absorbed through the walls of capillaries. These molecules then move through the circulatory system to all parts of the body.
CE129001	Cells are organized into the body structures and perform the basic life functions of the organism they are part of.
CE033002	When looking through a microscope at leaf and root samples, one would see that both are made of cells.
BF039008	After a boy eats a sandwich, there are fewer molecules from food in the blood approaching the digestive tract and more molecules from food in the blood moving away from the digestive tract.
BF123003	Molecules from food are absorbed into microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries) located in the walls of the digestive tract and then pass into larger blood vessels that carry the molecules to other parts of the body.
CE100004	Both the skin and the lungs of the body are made of cells.
CE101004	Both the brain and muscles of the body are made of cells.
CE102003	Both the leaves and roots of plants are made of cells.
CE103003	Both the flowers and stems of plants are made of cells.
