S7L2: Students will describe the structure and functions of cells,
tissues, organs, and organ systems
1
S7L2a. Explain that cells take in nutrients in order to grow and divide
and to make needed materials.
S7L2b. Relate cell structures (cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm,
chloroplasts, and mitochondria) to basic cell functions.
S7L2c. Explain that cells are organized into tissues, tissues into organs,
organs into systems, and systems into organisms
S7L2d. Explain that tissues, organs, and organ systems serve the needs
cells have for oxygen, food and waste removal.
S7L2e. Explain the purpose of major organ systems in the human
body.
Enduring
Students understand that organisms
Understanding have similar characteristics
& Essential
(movement, reproduction, sensitivity,
Question(s)
made of cells, growth, respiration,
excretion, and nutrition).
Cells take in nutrients to grow, divide,
and make needed materials.
Cell structure is related to cell function.
Cell parts are interdependent.
Levels of cellular organization (cells →
tissue → organs → systems →organism
Essential Questions
How do cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems relate to one
another?
How do cellular processes work together to provide needed
materials?
How do the higher levels of organization serve the needs of the cell?
How do individual cell structures depend on other cell structure
functions?
How do cells compare in different organisms?
How does the hierarchy of organization result in the complexity and
diversity of organisms?
