List of Things to Know

I can describe the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and be able to
identify each by analyzing a diagram.

I know the four things that ALL CELLS have in common.

I know the endosymbiosis theory and am able to draw an endosymbiosis event for both
an animal and plant cell.

I can describe a minimum of three pieces of evidence that support the endosymbiosis
theory.

I can identify a plausible function if given a structure of an organism and vice versa.
Examples we have done in class- leaf cells, giraffe neck, plant root cell, nerve cells,
sperm cell, muscle cells, pseudopodia with amoeba, etc.

I know the three domains of life and appreciate how diverse living creatures are on this
planet.

I know the cell parts or organelles for prokaryotes, and eukaryotes- both plant and
animal cells.

I know the cell cycle and the effects of uncontrollable growth in cells.

I know the processes of cell division for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

I know mitosis and who undergoes this type of cell division.

I know how DNA structures change throughout the cell cycle.

I know the differences between the terms: chromatin, chromatids and chromosomes.

I know the tiers of organization for multicellular organisms.

I know how cell differentiation enables multicellular organisms to divide necessary tasks
in order to survive.
