UNIT OVERVIEW:
All living things are made of cellscells that are remarkably similar, whether you are you
(a human), a frog, a tree, or a bacterium. These tiny structures are made out of parts just
like your organs that work together to ensure that all 4 billion of your cells do their jobs.
Cells are the most basic unit of life What needs to happen inside each
BUT! Cells are made out of tiny cell in your body to keep you alive?
organelles that all serve a vital function What makes something (human and
for the life of the cell, just like are plant) alive?
organs do for our body
Cells across all living organisms are
remarkably similar; however, some cells What is active transport? Does it
are more complex (e.g., eukaryotic) or require energy? How does it move?
more fine tuned to their organisms life (low to high or high to low?)
(e.g., plant cells)
What is passive transport? Does it
require energy? How does it move?
(low to high or high to low?)
How do active and passive transport
differ?
What is ATP? With which type of
transport is it associated?
What is osmosis? What is a solute?
What is a solvent? What is a solution?
What does semi-permeable mean?
Where does water always flow? High
solute to low solute or low solute to
high solute?
What happens to water in a isotonic
solution (equal in and out, moves into
cell, moves out of cell)? What is its
effect of the cell (nothing,
swell/burst/lyse, shrink/crenate).
What happens to water in an
hypotonic solution (equal in and out,
moves into cell, moves out of cell)?
What is its effect of the cell (nothing,
swell/burst/lyse, shrink/crenate).
What happens to water in a
hypertonic solution (equal in and out,
moves into cell, moves out of cell)?
What is its effect of the cell (nothing,
swell/burst/lyse, shrink/crenate).
CONTENT: SKILLS:
1. Cell: smallest living part of your Identify, describe, and compare and
body contrast active and passive
2. Tissue: organized group of cells transport
3. Organ: organized group of tissues Identify, describe, and compare and
4. Organ systems: organized group of contrast isotonic, hypotonic and
organs hypertonic solutions
5. Organism: organized group of Identify, describe, and compare and
organ systems contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic
6. Prokaryotic: simple cell with no cells
nucleus (bacteria!) Identify, describe, and compare and
7. Eukaryotic: complex cell with contrast organelles and their
organelles functions
8. Nucleus: control center of cells
9. Ribosome: protein factory
10. Golgi apparatus: the post office
where info is packaged and shipped
11. Endoplasmic reticulum: the
transportation system in the cell
12. Cell membrane: the outer layer,
controls what goes in and out
13. Cytoplasm: stuff that fills the cell
and keeps things in place
14. Mitochondria: the powerhouse,
makes energy
15. Cell wall: firm outside layer of plant
cells
16. Vacuole: stores water and food
17. Chloroplast: where photosynthesis
happens in cells
18. ATP: energy
