Title: Examine the potential benefits of biological controls in plant and animal systems.
Course: Biotechnology Foundations in Technology Education (21999) > Section: Applying Biotechnology to the Environment

Examination should

- include explanations of plant structures (e.g., photoreceptors) and animal structures (e.g., the endocrine system) that contribute to biological control systems in those organisms
- distinguish between naturally occurring controls and modified systems.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What basic control mechanisms are found in plant systems?
- What are the components of a control system in an animal?
- How can naturally occurring plant and animal control systems be beneficial to the environment?
- What alterations can be made to plant and animal control systems?
- How can biotechnology be used to positively affect plant and animal biocontrol systems?
