Evaluation: In order to receive credit for this unit and test permission you must:
Complete and have a teacher mark all laboratory/investigation activities.
Take notes on each section
Complete Unit Review- self test
Once the above is complete, get test permission from a teacher to write C2 Quiz and Written Response (In assessment centre)
Ensure that you read all the information from the textbook. Read the material and take notes as you see fit.
Complete learning activities as you navigate through this digital learning guide
Pay attention to bold terms
Do as many of the review questions from the textbook as you find necessary to learn the material. These review questions area good indicator of how well you understand the materials. The Check and Reflects and Section Reviews are an excellent way to test your understanding of the material you have studied.
5. Attend the optional seminars for this topic. Please refer to the seminar schedule on D2L.
When you have completed the learning activities embedded throughout this digital learning guide, and readings for this section (C2.1- C2.4) you will be able to:
Compare passive transport of matter by diffusion and osmosis with active transport in terms of the particle model of matter, concentration gradients, equilibrium, and protein carrier molecules.
Use models to explain and visualize complex processes like diffusion and osmosis, endo and exocytosis, and the role of the cell membrane in these processes.
Describe the cell as a functioning open system that acquires nutrients , excretes waste, and exchanges matter and energy.
Identify the structure and describe, in general terms, the function of the cell membrane, nucleus, lysosome, vacuole, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, ribosomes, chloroplast, and cell wall, where present, of plant and animal cells.
Compare the structure, chemical composition, and function of plant and animal cells, and describe the complementary nature of the structure and function of plant and animal cells.
Describe the role of the cell membrane in maintaining equilibrium while exchanging matter
Describe how knowledge about semi-permeable membranes, diffusion, and osmosis is applied- know the terms hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic
Describe cell size and shape as they relate to surface area to volume ratio, and explain how that ratio limits cell size.
