Monday, March 4, 2013 - WUP#1

WARM UP #1

Big Idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and

molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to

maintain dynamic homeostasis.

Objective:

Learners will :  

• extract DNA from a banana in order to segue from a discussion on the cell to the cell membrane.

Enduring understanding 2.B:                                                               Growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis require that cells create and maintain internal environments that are different from their external environments.

Essential knowledge:

• 
  

  2.B.1: Cell membranes are selectively permeable due to their structure.

• 2.B.2: Growth and dynamic homeostasis are maintained by the constant movement of molecules across membranes.

Learning Objectives:

• LO 2.10 The student is able to use representations and models to pose scientific questions about the properties of cell membranes and selective permeability based on molecular structure.
• LO 2.11 The student is able to construct models that connect the movement

  of molecules across membranes with membrane structure and function.
  
  

  Essential knowledge.

  LO 2.12 The student is able to use representations and models to analyze

  situations or solve problems qualitatively and quantitatively to investigate

  whether dynamic homeostasis is maintained by the active movement of

  molecules across membranes.
