         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

30.0 WORLD LANGUAGE

What are the cell organelles and how does their structure relate to their function?
What are the main functions of the cell membrane and how does its structural design serve its function?
What are the criteria for passive and active transport and what are the various mechanisms for each?



1. History of cell theory
2. Cell Theory
3. Structure and function of cell organelles
4. Movement of materials into and out of the cell
Passive systems: Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitative Diffusion
Active systems: Active transport, Endocytosis, Exocytosis
5. Cell specialization or differentiation
6. Differentiate between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
7. Among eukaryotes, distinguish between plant and animal cells



Students 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. Describe the structure of the cell membrane and relate it to its function
4. Name and describe the structure and function of the cell's organelles (plant and animal)
5. Describe and offer examples of the various modes of transport into and
out of the cell
6. Discuss cell specialization and how it relates back to structure and function
7. Recognize the evolutionary significance of prokaryotic simplicity



1. Observation of both living and diagramed eukaryotic (plant vs. animal) and prokaryotic cells
2. Investigation of cell permeability through artificial cells in laboratory



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
