STRAND: Life processes in plants and animals
Grade 11: Life processes related to homeostasis
Different organisms need support, transport and excretory systems, which differ in relation to size, surface area to volume ratio AND type of habitat (aquatic or terrestrial). There is a relationship between transport and excretion systems of larger organisms and gaseous exchange mechanisms [done in Grade 10].

Grade 11: Viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi
In grade 11, we look at four main groups of organisms i.e. viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi. These 4 groups consist of micro-organisms and, in the case of the protists and fungi, macro-organisms. They are either single-cel ed or form colonies of similar cel s or are made of primitive tissues. The viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi play a very important role in the environment. In addition, many micro-organisms have an effect on the health of other living organisms. Humans have used these organisms for thousands of years for a variety of purposes.

Grade 11: Diversity of animals and plants and biogeography
Underlying concepts: Plants and animals can be grouped according to similarities in their basic structure or body plan. Members of each group have modified versions of their basic body plan, depending on their mode of life. Biogeographic variation shows that different but similarly adapted species inhabit different

Plants can be grouped according to the presence or absence of: Ancient and unique plant groups in southern Africa: cycads and Welwitschia. Ecotourism and theft of cycads, conservation efforts. as wel as the dependence on water for reproduction important plants, such as fruit trees, and crops • Bryophytes: no vascular tissue, no true leaves and roots, Forestry – economic importance and impact spores, depend on water for fertilisation • Pterophytes: vascular tissue, true leaves and roots, spores, • Gymnosperms and angiosperms: vascular tissue, true leaves and roots, seeds, fertilization independent of water. Gymnosperms produce cones which bear seeds with no protective covering. Angiosperms produce flowers, the seed is Animal diversity

Grade 11: Human influences on the environment
Over thousands of years, humans have gradual y changed the environments they live in, in order to make their lives and their human endeavours easier, safer, and more profitable. With the human population explosion and modern technology, these changes to the environment have been massive and have had a significant local, national and global impact upsetting the balance in natural ecosystems and threatening the continuation of life on earth. In grade 11, we examine human influences on the environment and consider ways in which we can contribute to a more sustainable future. [This section could possibly be considered as belonging to LO 3, but we have chosen to place much of the content in LO 2 since scientific concepts are
