UEQ: How can we describe the relationship between structure and function in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Concept 1: Cell Structure and Function SC.912.L.14.3 SC.912.L.14.2
Content coverage LEQ: Number 1: What is the relationship between the structure and function of the major cell organelles found in a eukaryotic cell?
• Structures include: cytoplasm, nucleus, nucleolus, nuclear envelope, cell membrane, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, vacuole, centrioles, ribosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough)
• Exclusive to plants: chloroplasts, central vacuole, cellulose cell wall
• Exclusive to animals: lysosome, centrioles
• Compare and contrast plant and animal cell structures
• Special structures include; cilia and flagella
LEQ: Number 2: What similarities and differences exist between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
• Commonalities: cell wall (plants & fungus), cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, chromosomes
• Differences: nucleus, nucleolus, membranes, structure of cell wall, arrangement of chromosomes (ring in prokaryote with little protein vs. rods in eukaryotes with proteins)
• Eukaryotes : Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
• Prokaryotes: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria
Vocabulary Eukaryote, prokaryote, organelle
Concept 2: Cell Transport SC.912.L.14.2
Content coverage LEQ: Number 1: How does the cell membrane regulate the movement of materials into and out of the cell?
• Structure of cell membrane and functions of the parts: phospholipid bilayer, cholesterol, integral proteins, peripheral proteins, carbohydrate markers.
LEQ: Number 2: How do concentration gradients impact the movement of materials across the cell membrane?
• Define the terms gradient, concentration
