Unit 5

Bio.1.1.1 Summarize the structure and function of organelles in eukaryotic cells (including the nucleus, plasma membrane, cell wall, mitochondria, vacuoles, chloroplasts, and ribosomes) and ways that these organelles interact with each other to perform the function of the cellBio.1.1.2 Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in terms of their general structures (plasma membrane and genetic material) and degree of complexityBio.1.1.3 Explain how instructions in DNA lead to cell differentiation and result in cells specialized to perform specific functions in multicellular organismsBio.1.2.3 Explain how specific cell adaptations help cells survive in particular environments (focus on unicellular organisms)Bio 4.2.2 Explain ways that organisms use released energy for maintaining homeostasis (active transport)

Important Dates: Friday Quiz → Nov 2, Nov 9 Unit Test: November 14

You will have a multiple choice exit ticket after each new content is covered.

Quiz Topics:

November 2nd:

1) Know the scientist and their role in discovering cells. 2) Explain the difference between autogenic and endosymbiotic hypothesis and be able to provide their viewpoint on which hypothesis is better. 3) Explain the importance of surface area as it relates to a cell, 1) what is the advantage of having many smaller cells verses 1 large cell. 2) they will have to identify some organelles where an increased surface area is beneficial and explain why it is advantageous to have surface area in those cells.

November 9th: Will be taken last 20-30 min of class.

1) Parts and function of microscope parts. Note: Not all of them will be on there. (pg 9)2) Difference between light and electron microscope (from powerpoint and "history of cells worksheet")3) Structure and Function of a few organelles4) How do objects show up differently under a microscope then from the way in which we see them. (pg11 in packet)5) Difference between osmosis and diffusion6) Difference between active and Passive Transport7) Structure of Plasma Membrane
