Learning Targets

Learning Target #1:  We will  compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes based on structures and the kingdoms they belong to.

Learning Target #2:  We will  describe and identify the differences and similarities in the structure and function of the cell parts that are seen in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Learning Target #3:  We will  describe differences and similarities in gram negative and gram positive bacteria.

Learning Target #4:  We will investigate the different types of bacteria found in the body and analyze their effects on the person.

Learning Target #5:  We will outline details and functioning of some of the major types of antibiotics.

Learning Target #6:  We will  assess the methods of antibiotics and predict their effectiveness on gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Learning Target #7: We will explain how antibiotic resistance can develop as a result of human activity.

Learning Target #8:  We will describe similarities and differences between key cell parts seen in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Learning Target #9: We will identify key cell parts seen in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Learning Target #10: We will examine the relationship between the different organelles and determine how they work together to create proteins and other products and functions of the cell.

Learning Target #11:  We will investigate similarities and differences between plant and animal cells and give reasoning for these differences.

Learning Target #12:  We will investigate how cells communicate with each other and determine the differences between communication in plant and animal cells.

Learning Target #13:  We will investigate the origin of eukaryotic cells according to the Endosymbiotic Theory.

Learning Target #14:  We will investigate how cell differentiation creates specialized cells and compare and contrast the structure and function of these cells.

Learning Target #15:  We will investigate how materials and/or water are transported into and out of a cell using passive transport.

Learning Target #16:  We will investigate how the cell membrane structure affects movement of materials based on size, polarity, and other characteristics,

Learning Target #17:  We will investigate how materials and/or water are transported into and out of a cell using active transport.

Learning Target #18:  We will investigate how materials and/or water are transported into and out of a cell using active transport.
