BIOLOGY – CELL BIOLOGY & ENERGY STANDARDS
Benchmark #2 ALIGNED THINKING MAP ACTIVITIES
1.0 The fundamental life processes of plants and animals depend on a
variety of chemical reactions that occur in specialized areas of
organism’s cells

Identify & Describe the three principles of the Cell Theory
using a Tree Map (Pg#183)
1a: cells are enclosed in a semi-permeable membrane that regulates
their interaction with the environment

Identify & Diagram the movement of Oxygen & Carbon Dioxide
molecules across the Cell (Plasma) membrane (Pg#201), including
the properties of the Plasma (Cell) Membrane (Pg#187)
1b: Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without
altering the reaction equilibrium and the activities of enzymes
depend on the temperature, ionic conditions, and the pH of the
surroundings


Using a Circle Map, Identify the following
o The importance of Enzymes to cell processes (Pg#159)
o The significance of Temperature and pH for Enzyme action
(Pg#160)
o The chemical composition of Enzymes (Pg#159)
Identify HOW an Enzyme works using a Flow Map Design (Pg#160,
Figure 6.18)
1c: prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells (including those from plants
and animals), and viruses differ in complexity and general structure


Compare & Contrast Prokaryote with Eukaryote Cell types using a
Double Bubble Map Design (Pg#186 & 192); Focus on organelles
listed in #2, including general structure of Prokaryotes vs.
Eukaryotes
Distinguish between Animal & Plants Cells using a Double Bubble
Map Design (Pg#192, Figure 7.9); Focus on Nucleus, DNA,
Mitochondria, Chloroplast, Cell Membrane, Cell Wall, including
general shape of Animal vs. Plant cells
1f: Useable energy is captured from sunlight by chloroplasts and is
stored through the synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide

Describe HOW plants capture light energy using a Flow Map
(Pg#223), INCLUDE;
o The PURPOSE of Photosynthesis (Pg#220)
o Where Photosynthesis occurs in a plant cell (pg#222)
o The Overall Chemical Equation of Photosynthesis (Pg#222)
o Distinguish between the Light & Dark Reactions of
Photosynthesis (Page#222)
1g: mitochondria make stored chemical energy available to cells by
completing the breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide



Diagram how Energy is Stored & Released in Cells using a Flow
Map (Pg#221, Fig 8.4)
Identify the role of the Mitochondria in Animal & Plant Cells
(Pg#228, fig 8.11)
Compare & Contrast Anaerobic Respiration with Aerobic,
including the number of ATP’s that are produced in each using a
Double Bubble Map (Pg#228-30)
