Big ideas• The process of evolution drives the diversity and

unity of life.• Biological systems utilize free energy and

molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce and maintain homeostasis.

• Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to information essential to life processes.

• Biological systems interact, and these systems possess complex properties.
