LEARNING COMPETENCIES
CONTENT STANDARD: The learners demonstrate an understanding of (1) Composition of the endomembrane
system; (2) Structure and function of organelles involved in energy transformation; (3) Structure and functions of the
cytoskeleton; and, (4) Composition and functions of the extracellular components or matrix.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The learners shall be able to:
1. construct a 3D model of a plant/animal/ bacterial cell using recyclable materials
2. construct a cell membrane model from indigenous or recyclable materials
The Learner:
Cell: The basic Unit of Life
1. Introduction to biology
1. Explain the key concepts in studying Biology
2. Cell theory
2. Explain the postulates of the cell theory
3. Cell structure and functions
3. Describe the structure and function of major and
a. Prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cell,
subcellular organelles; Differentiate prokaryotic
b. Endomembrane System
vs. Eukaryotic cell and Explain endomembrane
4. Surface Area to Volume and Mitochondrion

6. Structure and Function of Animal tissues and
5. Classify different cell types (plant/animal tissues)
Cell modification (e.g. microvilli, root hair)
and specify the function(s) of each
6. Explain the structure and function of Animal
tissues and describe some cell modifications that
lead to adaptation to carry out specialized
functions
Summative Test No. 1
CONTENT STANDARD: The learners demonstrate an understanding of the cell cycle and cell division (i.e., mitosis
and meiosis).
PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The learners shall be able to construct a three-dimensional model of the stages
or phases involved in the cell cycle using indigenous or recyclable materials. The learners shall put emphasis on the
identification of possible errors that may happen during these stages.
The Learner:
Cell cycle
1. Characterize the phases of the cell cycle and their
a) Mitosis
control points
b) Meiosis
2. Describe the stages of mitosis/meiosis given
2n=6
3. Discuss crossing over and recombination in
meiosis
4. Explain the significance or applications of
mitosis/meiosis
5. Identify disorders and diseases that result from
the malfunction of the cell during the cell cycle
