Unit 2: The Chemistry of Living Things and Cell Structures
Raven Biology: Chapter 2 (pgs. 25-29)
Chapter 3 (all)
Chapter 4 (skip 4.6 & 4.7)
Chapter 6 (skip 6.2)
1. I can define:
Chemical reaction
Reactants
Product
Activation energy
Catalyst
Enzyme
Organic
Cell
Compound light microscope
Stereoscope
Organelle
2. I can write out a chemical equation using the symbols and below write it out in words
3. I can explain how an enzyme physically gets a reaction going (lowers activation energy)
4. I can understand that enzymes are never changed in a reaction & can be reused
5. I can explain how changes in pH or temperature affect enzyme (proteins) abilities and structure
6. I can list and describe each of the 4 biological macromolecules (carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids)
 Differentiate between their purposes in the body
 Draw their structure and know the elements of each
7. I know the 3 parts of the cell theory
8. I know the scientists who have contributed to the cell theory and invention of the microscope
Robert Hooke
Rudolph Virchow
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Louis Pasteur
Matthias Schleiden
Robert Koch
Theodore Schwann
9. I can prepare, view and draw a specimen on a slide using a microscope
10. I can differentiate between prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells (plant & animal), & viruses
Size
Complexity
Number and type of organelles
11. Identify the structures and functions of the parts of a eukaryotic cell
Nucleolus
Mitochondria
Vacuoles (central vacuole)
Nuclear pores
Golgi apparatus (body)
Ribosomes
DNA
S Endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome
Cytoplasm
R Endoplasmic reticulum
Cytoskeleton (microtubes/filaments)
Cell wall
Chloroplasts
Cillia & Flagella
