MS-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.
[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the cell functioning as a whole system and the primary role of identified parts of the cell,
specifically the nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell membrane, and cell wall.]
[Assessment Boundary: Assessment of organelle structure/function relationships is
limited to the cell wall and cell membrane.
Assessment of the function of the other organelles is limited to their relationship to the whole cell. Assessment does not include the
biochemical function of cells or cell parts.]
What Students Need to Know:
What a cell is and the function of a cell as a whole
The primary role of a cell’s nucleus, chloroplast, mitochondria, cell membrane, and cell wall and how each contributes to the function of the cell as a whole
What Students Need to be able to Do:
Develop and use a model to describe
How Students will Learn: Practice Developing and Using Models
Develop and use a model to describe phenomena.
