UNIT 4: CELLS
Objective for this Unit include:
Big Idea #2: Biological Systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.
Big Idea #2: Biological Systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.
- 2A3: Organisms must exchange matter with the environment to grow, reproduce and maintain organization.
- 2B1: Cell membranes are selectively permeable due to their structure.
- 2B2: Growth and dynamic homeostasis are maintained by the constant movement of molecule across membranes.
- 2B3: Eukaryotic cells maintain internal membranes that partition the cell into specialized regions.
- 2E2: Timing and coordination of physiological events are regulated by multiple mechanisms.
- 3B2: A variety of intercellular and intracellular signal transmissions mediate gene expression.
- 3D1: Cell communication processes share common features that reflect a shared evolutionary history.
- 3D2: Cells communicate with each other through direct contact with other cells or from a distance via chemical signaling.
- 3D3: Signal transduction pathways link signal reception with cellular response.
- 3D4: Changes in signal transduction pathways can alter cellular response.
- 4A2: The structure and function of subcellular components, and their interactions, provide essential cellular processes.
- 4B2: Cooperative interactions within organisms promote efficiency in the use of energy and matter.
