Cell Theory, Structure & Function
The students should be able to:
- describe a theory as an explanation and a law as a predicted outcome to a process or phenomenon
- recognize theories do not become laws nor do laws become theories
- describe current the cell theory as: all cells come from pre‐existing cells, all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, cells are the basic unit of structure, function, and organization of all living organisms
- differentiate the function of various types of microscopes, including: compound, dissecting, scanning electron transmission electron
- explain how continuous investigations by multiple scientists and new scientific information has influenced cell theory over time, for example: changes in microscope technology has further elucidated the structure and function of various cell parts
- differentiate the general structures and their function found within a cell
- differentiate the general structures of plant and animal cells, for example: plant cells have central vacuoles, chloroplasts, and cell wall, animal cells have lysosomes
- explain how the structure of an organelle is directly related to its function in the cell, for example: folding of the endoplasmic reticulum increases available surface area for protein packaging and transport total available energy within a cell is dependent upon the number of mitochondria present, i.e. muscle cells have many mitochondria
