Unit 2: The Cell
This unit will be broken up into two separate parts, each with its own test. However, both parts are from the same standard.
Standard B-2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the structure and function of cells and their organelles.
Part 1The first half of this unit will focus on the following standards:
B-2.1 Recall the three major tenets of cell theory (all living things are composed of one or
more cells; cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things; and all presently existing cells arose from previously existing cells).
B-2.2 Summarize the structures and functions of organelles found in a eukaryotic cell (including the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, lysosomes, vacuoles, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum [ER], Golgi apparatus, cilia, flagella, cell membrane, nuclear membrane, cell wall, and cytoplasm).
B-2.3 Compare the structures and organelles of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
B-2.5 Explain how active, passive, and facilitated transport serve to maintain the homeostasis of the cell.
UNIT 2, PART 1 TEST: _______________________
Part 2The second half of this unit will focus on the following standards:
B-2.4 Explain the process of cell differentiation as the basis for the hierarchical organization of organisms (including cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems).
B-2.6 Summarize the characteristics of the cell cycle: interphase (called G1, S, G2); the phases of mitosis (called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase); and plant and animal cytokinesis.
B-2.7 Summarize how cell regulation controls and coordinates cell growth and division and allows cells to respond to the environment, and recognize the consequences of uncontrolled cell division.
