Cell Biology
1. All living organisms are composed of cells, from just one to many trillions, whose details usually
are visible only through a microscope. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know cells function similarly in all living organisms.
b. Students know the characteristics that distinguish plant cells from animal cells, including
chloroplasts and cell walls.
c. Students know the nucleus is the repository for genetic information in plant and animal
cells.
d. Students know that mitochondria liberate energy for the work that cells do and that
chloroplasts capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
e. Students know cells divide to increase their numbers through a process of mitosis, which
results in two daughter cells with identical sets of chromosomes.
f. Students know that as multicellular organisms develop, their cells differentiate.
Investigation and Experimentation
7. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful uestions and conducting careful investigations.

Essentials Course
As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands,
students should develop their own uestions and perform investigations. Students will:
a. Select and use appropriate tools and technology !including calculators, computers,
balances, spring scales, microscopes, and binoculars" to perform tests, collect data, and
display data.
b. #se a variety of print and electronic resources !including the $orld $ide $eb" to collect
information and evidence as part of a research project.
c. %ommunicate the logical connection among hypotheses, science concepts, tests conducted,
data collected, and conclusions drawn from the scientific evidence.
d. %onstruct scale models, maps, and appropriately labeled diagrams to communicate
scientific knowledge !e.g., motion of &arth's plates and cell structure".
e. %ommunicate the steps and results from an investigation in written reports and oral
presentations.
Stuent Objectives(!earning Outcomes
Students 0now how cell organelles wor0 inde!endently and together allowing for !ro!er cell function.
Students also 0now the characteristics that distinguish !lant from animal cells.
