Cell Structure

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Write a three sentence summary of the abiogensis theory for the evolution of life. You may use the internet to find more resources, but WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS. It is obvious when you are copying words you don't understand, so please see me if you need help translating what you've read.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Write 3-5 complete sentences summarizing the key components of cell theory.

2. Include the contribution of at least one scientist.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Watch the video above as a reminder about the organizational levels we use in biology. See me for classification cards and sort them.

3. You should be able to scramble them and assemble from smallest to largest. Show me when you can do this without using notes, the video or other help.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Get a copy of the Amoeba-sisters fill-in notes for the Introduction to Cells video.

2. Watch the video on the introduction to cells. As you're watching, pay attention to the different parts of a cell and the function of those parts (what they do) and complete the fill-in notes.

3. Then, get a copy of the cell organelles study paper from me and practice scrambling the functions and reminders for each organelle and its function.

4. You will practice assembling the chart until you can put organelles next to their correct functions without using your notes or a book. When you can assemble without using notes, show me! That's when you know you "know" it. You may practice this at the beginning of class everyday during this unit.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Watch the video on Eukaryotic v. Prokaryotic Cells.

2. See me for a copy of the venn diagram comparison of the two primary cell types and fill in as you watch the video. Your map should include the following terms:

• nucleoid region
• nucleus
• membrane-bound organelles
• Cell/plasma membrane
• ribosomes
• DNA/genetic information

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Watch the video on endosymbiosis.

2. Then, see me for the endosymbiosis cartoon assignment.

1. Take a piece of paper and fold it both hamburger and hotdog style (you should have four boxes).

2.You are going to create an "odd man out" game. In each of the boxes, draw a different type of cell. Make one of your drawings the "odd man out" by making it different than the other 3. For example, you may draw 3 different prokaryotic cells and one eukaryotic cell. Or, you may draw 3 different eukaryotic cells and one prokaryotic cell.

3. Write 3-4 sentences describing which image is the odd-man out and why. Show me your work!

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Watch the video on viruses.

2. Then watch the second video on Virus vs. Cells

3. Either create a venn diagram comparing and contrasting viruses and cells OR write a paragraph describing similarities and differences.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Watch the video on how viruses attack cells.

2. Either create cartoon or write a paragraph describing how viruses invade host cells.

1. Complete the virtual lab on the link above about effectiveness of different antibiotics on preventing bacteria growth.

3. See me for a copy of the data table.

4. Use the instructions on the left hand side of the screen to complete the virtual lab.

5. When your data table is complete, open the journal icon and answer the journal questions on your paper using complete sentences.

See me for a copy of the unit performance assessment, which includes creating a model of a virus, eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell.

***If you are short on time, see me for a cut-and-assemble virus model.

If you and at least one other student have extra time, you may play the game in the link above to review some content from this unit.
