 * Unit 3 - Cells, Membranes, & Transport **


 * Target I - Determine the surface area to volume ratio (size) of various cells to predict the rate of diffusion for monomers entering and exiting the cell; relate calculations to cell shape. **

[]


 * Target II - Visually identify & explain the function of the following cell organelles: ribosome, endoplasmic reticulum (rough & smooth), Golgi complex, mitochondrion, vacuole, & chloroplast. **

[]


 * Target III - Describe how organelles interact to accomplish a task within a cell, tissue, organ, or organism. **

[]


 * Target IV - Compare & contrast prokaryotic & eukaryotic cells. **

[]


 * Target V- Infer similarities and differences about the three domains of life (Bacteria, Eukarya, & Archaea) from a cladogram. **

[]


 * Target VI- Explain the Miller-Urey experiment, RNA world hypothesis, formation of protobionts, and endosymbiont hypothesis in the context of the early Earth & the origin of life on Earth. **

[]


 * Target VII-Identify the component structures and functions of the plasma membrane: phospholipid, integral protein, peripheral protein, cholesterol, hydrophilic head (polar), hydrophobic tails (non-polar), glycolipids, & glycoproteins **

[]


 * Target VIII- Use representations, models, and or data to analyze situations in which molecules move passively by diffusion, osmosis, or facilitated diffusion. **

[]


 * Target IX- Use representations, models, and or data to analyze situations in which molecules move actively to establish concentration gradients across a membrane or move large molecules into or out of a cell (endocytosis & exocytosis) **
