Cell+Functions

Structure and Function of Cells Standard #4:Recognize that within cells, many of the basic functions of organisms (e.g., extracting energy from food and getting rid of waste) are carried out. The way in which cells function is similar in all living organisms.
 * State Standards: **

-I can explain how materials are transported into and out of a cell - I can explain how a cell uses energy and the waste products it produces -I can explain how autotrophs produce food and the waste products of that process -I can explain and illustrate how photosynthesis and respiration are parts of a continuous cycle - Students will be able to describe cell division
 * Major Learning Targets: **


 * Important Concepts: **
 * The cell must transport materials into and out of itself through the membrane and it must be selective of what can enter and exit
 * Photosynthesis is the origin of all food on earth
 * Respiration is how cells use the food they receive
 * Photosynthesis and respiration recycle the same materials over and over between organisms

-Students will be able to diagram and explain the photosynthesis respiration cycle - Students will be able to model osmosis and diffusion using iodine, constartch and plastic bags
 * Important Skills: **
