___ I know the 7 levels of structure for living things by heart. I have a minds-eye
picture to represent each level and can give 4 examples at each level.
___ I know how each level of structure relates to the level above it and below it.
___ I am able to name the level of structure represented by pictures of Atoms /
Molecules / Cells / Tissues / organs / organ systems / organisms
___ I can directly compare the levels of structure of human / frog / Apple tree in
___ I can use examples to explain the meaning of the following terms
___ Unicellular organism
___ Multicellular organism
___ Plant Cell Specialization
___ Animal Cell specialization
___ STEM CELL
T2.
CELL THEORY:
___ I can state the cell theory in words
___ I can draw pictures to represent all 3 statements found in the Cell Theory
___ I can Use Cell Theory to make predictions.
___ I can describe evidence which would support the cell theory
____ I can describe evidence that would disprove the cell theory
____ I can explain why Cell Theory is called a Theory
… instead of an opinion or a hypothesis.
T3. BASIC CELL MODELS
I can compare and contrast
Plant Cells,
/ Animal Cells, / Bacteria Cells …
___ A Bacteria cell model
___ A Plant cell model
___ An Animal cell model
I have a minds – eye picture of the following parts.
I can also explain the main functions of each cell part listed.
___ CELL WALL
___ CELL
MEMBRANE
___ CYTOPLASM ( cytosol )
___ NUCLEUS ( know what the DNA in the nucleus is for )
___ ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
___ RIBOSOMES
___ GOLGI COMPLEX
___ MITOCHONDRIA
___ ADP and ATP molecules
___ CHLOROPLASTS
___ LYSOSOMES
___ VACUOLES
___ Large Central Vacuole
T4 AN IMPROVED CELL MODEL
I can draw a cell model which shows how a cell can interact with its environment.
I can picture How materials enter and leave the cell
I can picture…
____ DIFFUSION
___ OSMOSIS
___ DOUBLE LAYER STRUCTURE of a cell membrane
with protein channels, and other openings.
___ Why a cell membrane is a SEMI – PERMEABLE MEMBRANE
___ A CELL AT EQUILIBRIUM
___ A CELL LOSING WATER
with the liquid around it.
to the liquid around it
___ A CELL GAINING WATER from the liquid around it
___ The DNA inside a cell nucleus
as “double helix” shape
In
Chromosomes
I can picture
HOW CELLS GET ENERGY…
___ ATP molecules forming in the mitochondria through
AEROBIC CELL RESPIRATION
1 glucose molecule burns with oxygen to recharge 36 ATP molecules
( 36 ADP + 36 P = 36 ATP )
___ ATP molecules forming in the mitochondria through
ANAEROBIC CELL RESPIRATION ( fermentation )
1 glucose molecule burns without oxygen to recharge 2 ATP molecules
( 2 ADP + 2 P = 2 ATP )
I can picture
HOW CELLS MAKE PROTEIN
___ DNA ( double helix )
wound into CHROMOSOMES ( x – shape )
with MANY GENES along each chromosome.
___ The pores in the nuclear membrane
___ How protein recipes ( genes ) are carried by Messenger RNA out of the nucleus (
through the pores ) and out to the ribosomes
____ Ribosomes “reading” the genes carried by Messenger RNA
and making protein
____
The Golgi complex packaging materials into a vesicle.
The vesicle joining the cell membrane and emptying the proteins out of the cell.
I can picture
CELLS REPRODUCING ( cell division )
____ One PLANT CELL DIVIDING to form 2 daughter cells
____ One ANIMAL CELL DIVIDING to form 2 daughter cells
T5. CELL DEPENDENCE ON OTHER CELLS
____ I can explain why a human muscle cell depends of the following other cells in
order to survive.. One suggested practice for this target is to write a thank you note
from a muscle cell to each of the following cell types… thanking them for the specific
things that they do for you.
RED BLOOD CELLS / WHITE BLOOD CELLS / NERVE CELLS /
BONE CELLS / PANCREAS CELLS / ADRENAL GLAND CELLS
T6 :
CELL REPRODUCTION
Explain how body cells form.
Explain how sex-cells form.
Key skills needed:
1.
2.
Use words and pictures to Describe how organisms Grow and Heal.
Use words and pictures to Explain the meaning of the term “Mitosis”.
(You do NOT need to be able to explain all the steps of Mitosis.)
3.
Use words and pictures to Explain the term “Meiosis”
4.
Compare and Contrast the way body cells and
(Compare and contrast Mitosis and Meiosis)
5. Compare and Contrast Sexual
sex cells
form
reproduction with Asexual
reproduction. Give examples of each
6.
Explain the link between Mitosis and
Cancer
Optional Inquiry:
for those pursuing Interest and excellence!!
Cell Biology is an exploding field with many job opportunities. Cell Biologists battle cancer, create
Clones of animals and plants, maintain frozen embryos of endangered species, teach bacteria to make
medicines for human use, and many other exciting things.
If you are interested in cells or any topic related to cells...Go For it! Learn all you can and get extra credit
for your enthusiasm and interest. Here are just a few ideas to get you started thinking about what you
might do
Investigate / explore cells further using microscopes in the morning before school.
Report on current research involving cell-biology
Report on cancer, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, or other disease involving cells.
The brain is made of cells... how does the brain work??
Make a poster of newspaper stories involving cell biology.
Create a model of a cell
Learn about a famous scientist who worked with cells (Pasteur, Hooke, etc....)
*** YOUR IDEAS??!! (They are the best) Talk to Mr. Mork about ideas you want to
explore with cells.
