14. Standards
• BI 9.c. Students know how to feedback loops in
the nervous and endocrine system regulate
conditions in the body.
• This standard relates to my topic because the
pancreas is located in the endocrine system and
the diabetes take place in the pancreas
15. Standards
• BI 4.d. students know specialization of cells in
multicellular organisms is usually due to different
patterns of gene expression rather to differences of
the genes themselves
• This standard relates to diabetes because
sometimes diabetes can be passed by generations of
ancestors that deals with your genes because you
can be a carrier or have diabetes
