Download Define the seven characteristic of life. List the cell theory statements

Cells Unit Overview (approximately 8 weeks)
SB1. Students will analyze the nature of the relationships between structures and functions of living
cells.
a. Explain the role of cell organelles for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including the cell membrane, in
maintaining homeostasis and cell reproduction.
b. Explain how enzymes function as catalysts.
c. Identify the function of the four major macromolecules (ie. Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids).
Students are expected to:
Define the seven characteristic of life.
List the cell theory statements.
Explain the cell theory.
Differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Identify examples of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Differentiate between plant and animal cells.
Identify the features that all cells have in common.
Illustrate each organelle.
Create a graphic representation of each organelle.
Describe the structure of mitochondria, nucleus, and chloroplast.
Explain the function of each organelle.
Differentiate between unicellular and multicellular.
List the levels of organization in organisms.
Define and give examples of homeostasis.
Diagram and label the cell membrane.
Explain the functions of the major structures of the cell membrane.
Explain the importance of the cell membrane in maintaining homeostasis.
Explain what happens to cells when placed in the following environments: hypotonic, isotonic,
and hypertonic.
Describe active and passive transport using key terminology (i.e. osmosis, diffusion, facilitated
diffusion, exocytosis, and endocytosis).
Describe the characteristics of enzymes.
Explain the main function of enzymes.
Explain how enzymes work.
Explain the lock and key model and induced fit model for enzymes.
Define activation energy.
Explain the effects of pH, substrate concentration, and temperature on rate of reaction.
Identify the monomers of each macromolecule.
Identify how macromolecules are made and broken down (condensation and hydrolysis).
Identify the functions of each macromolecule.
Identify examples of each macromolecule.
Diagram the structure of each macromolecule monomer.
Explain the structure of water molecules.
Differentiate structurally between acids and bases.
Identify the properties of water.
There will be 2 Summative Assessments and 8 Formative Assessments.
Lab Activities: Plant vs. Animal Cells, Macromolecule Identification, Enzyme Activity, Osmosis
and Diffusion Modeling
