 This glossary is strictly limited to terms originating from official NYSED materials such as standards and released test questions. Every term links to its source: a performance expectation (for example [[HS-LS1-5]]) means the term, or the wording it is taken from, appears in that standard's text, clarification statement, assessment boundary, disciplinary core ideas or performance level descriptions; an exam cluster means the term appeared in that released question cluster, and the link opens the question. Sections: [[#Vocabulary from the standards|vocabulary from the standards]], [[#Vocabulary from released exams|vocabulary from released exams]], [[#Cells, tissues, organs and body systems|cells, tissues, organs and body systems]], [[#Organisms named in the exams|organisms named in the exams]], [[#Molecules, substances and genes|molecules, substances and genes]], [[#Units|units]], and [[#Implied terms|terms the standards and exams point to without naming]].
