Introduction
Cellular structure and function sets the stage for the understanding of genetics and evolutionary
models. This unit covers basic biochemistry, cellular anatomy, cellular functions, and cell cycles.

1. Explain that living cells:
a) are composed of a small number of key
chemical elements ( carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur)
b) are the basic unit of structure and function of
all living things,
c) come from pre-existing cells after life
originated, and
d) are different from viruses.
2. Compare the structure, function and
interrelatedness of cell organelles in eukaryotic
cells (e.g., nucleus, chromosome, mitochondria,
cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplast, cilia,
flagella) and prokaryotic cells.
3. Explain the characteristics of life as indicated
by cellular
processes including
a. homeostasis
b. energy transfers and transformation
c. transportation of molecules
d. disposal of wastes
e. synthesis of new molecules
4. Summarize the general processes of cell
division and differentiation, and explain why
specialized cells are useful to organisms and
explain that complex multicellular organisms are
formed as highly organized arrangements of
differentiated cells.
