Download Unit 2 _Cells_ Plan

Unit Title: Cell Structure and Function
Relevant Course Essential Questions: How and why do we use biology to make sense of the world around us?
Grade Level/Course: 10th grade Biology
Stage 1 – Desired Results
Established Goals:
CELL1. Relate cell parts/organelles (plasma membrane, nuclear envelope, nucleus, nucleolus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosome,
ribosome, vacuole, cell wall, chloroplast, cytoskeleton, centriole, cilium, flagellum, pseudopod) to their functions. (2.1)
CELL2. Explain the role of cell membranes as a highly selective barrier (diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport). (2.1)
CELL3. Compare and contrast, at the cellular level, the general structures and degrees of complexity of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. (2.2)
CELL4. State and explain the three tenets of Cell Theory.
CELL5. Compare and contrast a virus and a cell in terms of genetic material and reproduction. (2.8)
CELL6. Discuss whether viruses are living or nonliving.
Understandings:
Students will understand that….
 Every living thing is made of cells and there are certain minimum
requirements to qualify as a living cell.
 Cellular organelles divide the cell’s labor of making proteins.
 Some items can move directly through the cell membrane, others
require the help of proteins and/or energy.
 The structure of the cell membrane makes it selectively permeable.
 Organisms belonging to each of the six major kingdoms of life have
unique cells. Those cells can be used to classify organisms into
kingdoms.
Students will know…
 The statements that form the cell theory.
 Why viruses are not considered alive.
 The differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes and plant and
animal cells.
 The structure and function of each cellular organelle.
 The structure of the cell membrane.
 The definitions and examples of each type of cellular transport.
 The names and defining characteristics of each of the six kingdoms
of life.
Essential Questions:
 What does it mean to be alive?
 How can we classify cells?
 How do cells increase their efficiency by dividing labor?
 How does structure enable function in a cell?
 How do substances move in and out of cells?
Students will be able to….
 Recite and explain the statements of the cell theory.
 Cite reasons one might think a virus is alive and then explain why it
is not.
 Differentiate between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
 Differentiate between plant and animal cells.
 Describe the structure and function of each cellular organelle
 Create an analogy between a real life system and a cell.
 Describe the structure of the cell membrane and clearly explain how
this enables its function as a semi-permeable barrier.




Describe examples of all types of cellular transport.
Given a substance and extra- and intracellular concentrations,
predict the direction and method of movement of that substance.
Conduct and analyze the results of an experiment to identify the
concentration of sucrose in a potato.
Given a picture or description of a cell, identify the kingdom to which
an organism belongs.
