         MAP LEVEL:
07.0 SCIENCE

07.0.4.9.1 -- Students will understand the role of the cell membrane in controlling materials entering and leaving the cell

07.0.4.9.2 -- Students will understand that there are specialized structures in the cell used for energy capture and release

07.0.4.9.3 -- Students will explain that the structure and function of cells depends on proteins, which are made of specific sequences of amino acids coded by the DNA, that are unique to each individual

07.0.4.9.4 -- Students will know that cell behavior can be influenced by other cells, chemicals or other organisms

07.0.4.9.6 -- Students will know that cells function in a narrow range of physical conditions, such as temperature and pH, to carry out life functions that help them maintain themselves (homeostasis)

07.0.4.9.8 -- Students will recognize that while viruses lack the standard cellular structure, they have the genetic material to invade living cells



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
