WARM UP #8

Big Idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and

molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to

maintain dynamic homeostasis.

Student Leader:  Ayo Ogunibe/Eliza Cordero

Objective:

Learners will :  

• review the parts of the animal and plant cell in order to correlate its structure with its function
• observe prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to note size and
  gross diversity differences. 

• in order to construct explanations based on scientific evidence 

Enduring understanding: 4.A: Interactions within biological systems lead to complex properties. 

Essential knowledge: 4.A.2: The structure and function of subcellular components, and their interactions, provide essential cellular processes.

• Learning Objectives:
  
  • The student is able to make a prediction about the interactions of subcellular organelles.
  • The student is able to construct explanations based on scientific evidence as to how interactions of subcellular structures provide essential functions.
  • The student is able to use representations and models to analyze situations qualitatively to describe how interactions of subcellular structures, which possess specialized functions, provide essential functions.
