From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes: Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.  [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on functions at the organism system level such as nutrient uptake, water delivery, and organism movement in response to neural stimuli. An example of an interacting system could be an artery depending on the proper function of elastic tissue and smooth muscle to regulate and deliver the proper amount of blood within the circulatory system.]
