Unit 3: Cells
Standards:
BIO 1.1.1 Summarize the structure and function of organelles in eukaryotic cells (Including the nucleus, plasma membrane, cell wall, mitochondria, vacuoles, chloroplasts, and ribosomes) and ways that these organelles interact with each other to perform the function of the cell.
BIO 1.1.2 Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in terms of their general structures (plasma membrane and genetic material) and degree of complexity.
BIO 1.1.3 Explain how instructions in DNA lead to cell differentiation and result in cells specialized to perform specific functions in multicellular organisms.
BIO 1.2.1 Explain how homeostasis is maintained in the cell and within an organism in various environments (including temperature and pH).
Essential Questions:
- Are all living things made of cells? Why?
- What is the organizational hierarchy of complex organisms?
- How do organelles collectively facilitate all the processes required for life?
- How has the microscope facilitated discovery in cellular biology?
- What are the major differences between plant, animal, and prokaryotic cells?
- What roles do the shapes of chemical signal play in cell communication?
- How do stem cells become different types of cellular tissue?
- How do cells maintain homeostasis?
- What influences the rate and direction of diffusion?
- When is energy required for cellular transport processes to proceed?
