biological processes?
Unit: Cell Structure and Function
7 Days
Unit: Viruses
3 Days
Unit: Cell Boundaries and Transport
9 Days
Essential Questions:
 How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells the same? How
are they different?
 How do eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells compare in scale?
 How are eukaryotic cells more
complex than prokaryotic
cells?
 What are the roles in cellular
process of the organelles
found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Essential Questions:
 How are viruses and cells
similar?
 How are the structures of
viruses different from cells?
 Why is a virus not a cell?
 How do viruses reproduce?
 Why does a virus have to
use a cell to replicate?
Essential Questions:
 What processes are crucial for the
survival of a cell? An organism?
 How does cell homeostasis in individual plant and animal cells
demonstrate an organism’s ability
to maintain homeostasis as a
whole?
 How does cell membrane structure
work to move molecules across the
membrane passively and actively?
Learning Outcomes:

Learning Outcomes:
The student is expected to -
 Know that biomolecules are
organic molecules that are
made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and
sometimes phosphorus.
 Compare the structures and
functions of different biomolecules.
 Relate the major role of
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids to
the biological structure and
metabolism of an organism.
 Investigate the role of enzymes.


Compare and contrast prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells.
Examine and compare different types of
cells.
Each part of the cell is designed to complete specific functions. The structure of
the part is directly related to its function.
Vocabulary:
Cell
Prokaryote
Eukaryote
Organelle
Nucleus
Cell membrane
Cell wall
Cytoplasm
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Golgi body
Endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome
Vacuole
Chloroplast
Cell wall
 Compare and contrast viruses
and cells.
 Explain that viruses are not
living because they must live
inside another cell and use
the host’s machinery to reproduce and synthesize proteins.
 Investigate and explain cellular
processes including homeostasis
and the transport of molecules.
 Explain how homeostasis is the
ability of the cell to regulate itself
and maintain the cell’s equilibrium.
 Cells have semi-permeable membranes that regulate the movement of dissolved molecules
through it in order to maintain
homeostasis. Transport across
membranes may or may not require energy.
Vocabulary:
Capsid
Virus
Lytic cycle
Lysogenic cycle
Vocabulary:
Homeostasis
Active transport
Passive transport
Diffusion
Osmosis
Isotonic
Hyptonic
Hpertonic
Facilitated diffusion
Selectively permeable
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
Equilibrium
Concentration
Unit: Cell Energy
13 Days
Essential Questions:
 How do the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration
interact to achieve energy conversion?
 How is energy released from
ATP?
 What are the laws of energy and
matter?
 What are the products and reactants of photosynthesis?
 What are the products and reactants of cellular respiration?
Learning Outcomes:
The student is expected to -
 Compare the reactants and
products of photosynthesis
and cellular respiration.
 Investigate and explain the
cellular process of energy
conversion.
 Photosynthesis converts
light energy into chemical
energy. Cellular respiration
converts chemical energy
into ATP, or the energy
cells use to perform work.
