Study Guide for Topics 1.1 and 1.2
For each assessment statement, pay attention to the bolded command term. These command terms will be used on all tests in this class and in the IB exam. Each
term asks for a specific answer. Be sure to look up each command term and understand what it is asking for. Command terms are listed in a doc below this
assignment or can be found in flashcard form in the Class Resources tab.
Each command terms is also leveled from 1 to 3. Find the appropriate level and label each assessment statement.

Objective 1 is basic knowledge and is often stating facts or defining terms.

Objective 2 is application and is asking you to go into greater depth with the material giving more detailed descriptions or summaries.

Objective 3 is extension and is often asking you to apply theories to new situations or to interpret data you've never seen before.
1.1 Introduction To Cells Assessment Statements
Outline the cell theory and the evidence supporting it. Use examples to show that the cell theory is a generalization and applies to
most but not all organisms.
Describe the criteria for life as demonstrated by unicellular organisms using Paramecium and one other named example.
Explain the significance of the surface to area to volume ratio in how cell sizes must be limited.
Calculate the magnification of cells and cell structures seen in drawings and TEM images.
Compare the relative sizes of molecules, cell membrane thickness, viruses, bacteria, organelles and cells, using the appropriate SI
unit.
Explain how multicellularity can cause new properties to emerge in an organism (emergent properties).
Explain how specialized tissues develop through cell differentiation during development from a single stem cell
State that stem cells retain the capacity to divide and have the ability to differentiate along different pathways.
Outline how stem cells can be used to treat diseases using Stargardt’s disease as an example and one other named condition

Level
Discuss the ethics of producing and using stem cells for therapeutic use.
1.2 Ultrastructures of Cells Assessment Statements
Draw (and ALWAYS label) the ultrastructure of a prokaryotic cell using Escherichia coli (E. coli) as an example
Annotate the diagram of a prokaryotic cell (E. Coli) with the function of each named structure.
Describe the process and purpose in binary fission in prokaryotes
Draw and label the ultrastructure of a eukaryotic cell using a exocrine gland cell (a cell that produces and exports a lot of proteins)
and the mesophyll palisade cells of the leaf (long column shaped cells involved in photosynthesis for the plant)
Annotate the diagrams of eukaryotic plant and animal cells with the function of the organelles in an exocrine gland cell and and a
mesophyll palisade leaf cell.
Outline the two roles of extracellular components in cells
State three differences between plant and animal cells
State that electron microscopes have a much higher resolution (magnification with greater detail) than light microscopes
Identify cell function and cellular structures using TEM images.
