Cellular Biology 3C

Cellular Biology Unit

Big Ideas

• Life processes are determined by the structures and functions of biochemical compounds, cell organelles, and body systems.

• Technological devices that support cellular functions and processes can be used to improve human health.

• Substances that are present in our everyday lives can affect cellular functions and processes in positive and negative ways.
