Cells Unit
"Everything in biology, even population growth and ecosystem organization, depends upon events in the cell. Understanding the cell--how it grows, reproduces, changes, and reacts to the world around it--is the key to all of life" - Ken Miller (p 167)

7 - Cell Structure & Function
7 - Cell Structure & Function
- Describe the cell theory.
- Describe how continuous investigations and/or new scientific information influenced the development of the cell theory.
- Explain how systems of specialized cells within organisms help them perform the essential functions of life. (HS-LS1-1)
- Identify the main functions of the cell membrane and the cell wall.
- Explain the processes of osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport.
- Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms. (HS-LS1-2)
- Investigating or designing new systems or structures requires a detailed examination of the properties of different materials, the structures of different components, and connections of components to reveal its function and/or solve a problem. (HS-LS1-1)
- Explain what cellular respiration is and what happens during the Krebs cycle. (Ch 9)
10 - Cell Growth & Division
10 - Cell Growth & Division
- Explain problems that growth causes for cells.
- Describe how cell division solves the problems of cell growth.
- Illustrate and label the main events of the cell cycle and four phases of mitosis. (HS-LS1-4)
- Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms. (HS-LS1-4)
- Describe how the cell cycle is regulated.
- Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis. (HS-LS1-3)
