Biochemistry and Cells
TIME FRAME:
GRADE: 11-12
CONTACT:
MAP LEVEL:
07.0 SCIENCE
07.0.4.9.2
-- Students will understand that there are specialized structures in the cell used for energy capture and release
07.0.4.9.6
-- 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)
27.3 SCIENCE - LIFE SCIENCE (V,VI,VII)
27.3.6.10.27
-- Students will describe significant similarities and differences in the basic structure of plant and animal cells.
27.3.6.10.30
-- Students will explain the role of the cell membrane in maintaining a constant internal environment.
1. How do the properties of cells make them the building blocks of an organism?
2. How do the molecular components of the cell accomplish the goal of overall homeostasis of the organism?
This unit is a thorough review of biochemistry and cell concepts initially covered in sophomore biology course. It is important for students to have a through working knowledge if these concepts to serve as a springboard for the rest of the semester.
Students in Biotechnology will develop the ability to:
-- Discuss the differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells,
-- Relate the properties of biomolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids) to their role in the cell,
-- Describe how polarity properties of a molecule are biologically relevant to formation of cell membrane, protein structure, and emulsification.
All students will:
-- Chem Review Lab
Assessments include:
Subjective and Objective Testing,
Chem Review Lab.
