07.0 SCIENCE --- 07.0.4.9.1 --- 07.0.4.9.2 --- 07.0.4.9.3 --- 07.0.4.9.4 --- 07.0.4.9.6 --- 07.0.4.9.8



What are the cell organelles and how does their structure relate to their function?
What is the evolutionary logic of the endosymbiotic hypothesis?



1. History of cell theory
2. Cell Theory
3. Structure and function of cell organelles
4. Cell specialization or differentiation
5. Differentiate between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
6. Among eukaryotes, distinguish between plant and animal cells
7. Endosymbiotic theory of cell evolution



Students in Biology will develop the ability to:
1. Trace the basic history of investigations leading to the cell theory,
2. Describe the components of the cell theory,
3. Name and describe the structure and function of the cell's organelles (plant and animal),
4. Discuss cell specialization and how it relates back to structure and function,
5. Recognize the evolutionary significance of prokaryotic simplicity,
6. Provide evidence for the endosymbiotic theory.



1. Observation of both living and diagramed eukaryotic (plant vs. animal) and prokaryotic cells




Objective/Subjective testing (50-60:50-40 percent ratio)
Laboratory experiences
Living plant and animal cells (size, diagram, labels, morphology)
Properties of cell membranes
Cooperative activiities
Class discussions
