Biology Keystone introduction
The Keystone Exams are the end of course assessments that evaluate academic content. In order to graduate, students are to demonstrate proficiency on the Algebra I, Literature, and Biology Keystone Exams. The Keystone Exams are essential in order to graduate. In order to prepare you for the worst, this website is in dedication of preparation to the Biology Keystones! There are 6 anchors (topics) to the Biology Keystones, and we have all of the content needed in order to succeed.
Anchors: 1, 2, 3, 4
Basic Biological Principles
BIO.A.1.1: Explain characteristic of all organisms BIO.A.1.2: Describe relationships between the structures and functions at a biological level of organization Chemical Basis of Life BIO.A.2.1: Describe the unique properties of water support on Earth BIO.A.2.2: Describe and interpret relationships between the structure and functions at various levels (Atoms, molecules, and macromolecules) Bioenergetics BIO.A.3.1: Identify and describe the cell structures involved in energy BIO.A.3.2: Identify and describe how organisms obtain and transform energy for their life processes Homeostasis and Transport BIO.A.4.1: Identify and describe the cell structures involved in transport of materials into, out of, and throughout the cell BIO.A.4.2: Explain mechanisms that permit organisms to maintain a biological balance between their internal and external environments |
about us
Hello, we are 11th-grade students from SLA @ Beeber producing a project for an upcoming assessment, the Keystone Exams! The Keystone Exams are assessments that are mandatory for graduation for everyone in the state of Pennsylvania. We 11th graders are going to be assessed on Biology, in preparation, we have created a study guide! The study guide contains all of the information and tips that you NEED to know on the test!
