Major Topics in this Unit:
History of Cells
Different types of Cells
Cell Organelles
Passive Cell Transport (Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion)
Active Cell Transport (Protein Pumps, Endocytosis, Exocytosis)
Essential Questions:
What are the similarities and differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
How do these similarities affect how and where the cell lives and the substances it reacts to?
How does the structure of a prokaryotic cell make it susceptible to antibiotics?
How does the structure of the organelle give rise to its function?
How do organelles work together to help cells function?
How have eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells?
How does the structure of the membrane allow it to be semipermable?
How does the semipermable membrane allow for the transport of different materials across the membrane?
9. How does the cell use active and passive transport to maintain homeostasis?
