Chapter 7.1 & 7.2 Cell Structure and Function
LS-A1. 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.
LS-A2. 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.
For this unit we will be studying the basic building blocks of all living
things…the cell. We’ll look at the Cell Theory and how cells were discovered and are
studied. We will compare and contrast the two main types (prokaryotic and
eukaryotic) as well compare plan and animal cells. Special focus will be on how the
cell accomplishes all basic life functions that we do and the structures within the cell
that do those functions. One organelle in particular, the cell membrane, we’ll
emphasize the structure of.
This unit will be the foundation for most of the rest of this semester, as we will
delve into more detail each cell organelle and its specific responsibilities within the
cell. In the end of the unit, there will be a mixed format test (multiple choice,
diagrams, short answer) in the 55% category as well as a 100 point project to build a
model of a specific cell in the 15% project/lab category.
