1. The Cell Theory and Types of Cells
In this lesson, students will explore the cell theory and the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The structures and functions of various cell types will also be introduced.
- Understand the history of the cell theory and its significance in biology.
- Distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- Identify the main structures in a cell and their functions.
2. Organelles and Their Functions
This lesson focuses on the various organelles inside cells, including the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, and more. Students will learn the function of each organelle and how they work together.
- Identify and describe the function of key organelles in a cell.
- Understand the role of the mitochondria, nucleus, and other organelles in cellular processes.
- Recognize the importance of organelles in maintaining cellular function.
3. The Plasma Membrane and Cellular Transport
Students will learn about the structure and function of the plasma membrane, as well as how substances move in and out of cells through processes like diffusion and active transport.
- Understand the structure of the plasma membrane.
- Explain how substances move across the membrane through diffusion and active transport.
- Describe how the plasma membrane maintains homeostasis within the cell.
4. Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis
This lesson focuses on cellular respiration and photosynthesis, two essential processes in energy production for cells. Students will compare the two and learn how each supports life.
- Understand the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
- Compare and contrast the two processes in terms of energy production.
- Explain the importance of these processes for cellular function and life.
