Expectations

SZ4.a
Construct explanations to relate structure and function of animals to ecological roles, including morphological, physiological, and behavioral adaptations
SZ4.b
Develop a model to explain patterns in various life cycles found among animals (e.g., polyp and medusa in cnidarians; multiple hosts and stages in the platyhelminthes or nematode life cycle; arthropod metamorphosis; egg, tadpole, adult stages in the amphibian life cycle).
SZ4.c
Construct an explanation based on evidence of the effects of symbiotic relationships between animals (i.e., parasites and disease vectors) and between animals and other organisms (i.e., algae in coral; protists in termites; parasites).
