Exploring Cell Theory and Organism Classification
This content delves into the fundamental concepts of cell theory, distinguishing between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and understanding the functions of different cell organelles. It also covers the characteristics of organisms, including their classification based on factors like cell structure, mode of reproduction, and nutrition. Students can enhance their knowledge of plant and animal cells, cellular functions, and levels of biological organization through engaging activities like Science Jeopardy.

Student Expectations Recognize that according to cell theory all organisms are composed of cells and cells carry on similar functions such as extracting energy from food to sustain life. (Supporting Standard) 7.12 F Differentiate between structure and function in plant and animal cell organelles, including cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, chloroplast and vacuole. (Supporting Standard) 7.12 D Compare the functions of a cell to the functions of organisms such as waste removal. 7.12 E Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. 7.12 C Identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms. (Supporting Standard) 6.12 D
Answer Question
PROKARYOTIC No nucleus, nuclear membrane or membrane covered organelles Only found in one-celled organisms like bacteria Smallest cells bacteria EUKARYOTIC Has a nucleus, nuclear membrane, & membrane covered organelles (plants & animals, fungi (plants & animals, fungi, , protist protist) ) Answer Question
A-100 ANSWER: 1. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things (FFF-form fits function, ex. blood cells are round, muscles cells are elongated ) 2. All living things are made up of one or more cells 3. All cells come from preexisting cells. (all cells are able to produce new cells) QUESTION: What are the three parts of cell theory? Answer Question
