Principles of Biology
LESSON TOPIC:
BIG IDEAS:

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.
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
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
