STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
BIG IDEAS:
Cell Structure



UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):



Compare cellular structures and their functions in
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Describe the fundamental roles of plastids (e.g.,
chloroplasts) and mitochondria in energy
transformations
Describe how the structure of the plasma
membrane allows it to function as a regulatory
structure and/or protective barrier for a cell.
VOCABULARY: Prokaryote, Eukaryote, Chloroplasts,
Mitochondria, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ
systems, and multicellular organisms, microscope,
resolution, magnification, light microscope, nucleus,
lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum
Describe relationships between structure and
function at biological levels of organization.
Identify and describe the cell structures involved in
processing energy.
Identify and describe the cell structures involved in
transport of materials into, out of, and throughout
a cell.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
What is the relationship between the structure and function at
biological levels of organization?
What are the cell structures and what do each of them do?
What is the structure involved in regulating the transportation
of materials in and out of the cell and how does it accomplish
this?
STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
Relate magnification and resolution in the use of microscopes.
Analyze how light microscopes function.
List the three parts of the cell theory.
Compare the structure of prokaryotic with that of eukaryotic
cells.
Describe the structure and function of cell organelles
