Topics:

8. Structure & Function of Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic & Subcellular Organizations
   • What are their similarities and differences?
   • What are their evolutionary relationships?
   • What are the current biological models for the origins of biological macromolecules?
   • What are the current models for the origins of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
   • How does compartmentalization organize a cell's functions?
   • How are the structures of the various subcellular organelles related to their functions?
   • How do organelles function together in cellular processes?
   • What factors limit cell size?
   1. Describe possible theories for development of life on earth: organic evolution, panspermia, and vitalism
      • List scientists who have helped to form these theories: Oparin, Haldane, Urey-Miller, Fox
   2. Explain the how prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are different and how they are similar
   3. Describe the structure of a typical bacteria cell
   4. Describe how archiobacteria and eubacteria differ
      1. Describe locations where archiobacteria are still found on Earth today
      2. Describe basic anatomy and classes of eubacteria, i.e. cocci, bacillus, sprillia
   5. Describe and give examples of factors that limit cells size
   6. Describe the structure and function of the subcellular organelles found in eukaryotic cells
   7. List diseases that are the result of organelle malfunction

Time Range:
14 days

Suggested Teaching Strategies:

• Students will read and take their own notes on the chapter (maybe in outline form)
• Science as a Process: Lecture on historical discovery of cell and its organelles
• Lecture on archeobacteria and eubacteria types
• Lecture on eukaryotic type one and two organelles
• Lecture on structure and function on cell organelles
• Student activity in which they review sites on the internet that show electron microscope pictures of cell organelles
• Video and review sheet on bacteria
• Video and review sheet on cells
• Students take notes on lecture (maybe in outline form)
• Students will fill out crossword puzzle that uses terms from the chapter
• Students will fill out chapter study guide to compliment their lecture and board notes
• Students will fill out worksheet on eukaryotic cells and eubacteria
• Critical Thinking: Students will use computer and do activity on 7.0 thru 7.4 on Cell Structures and Function in Campbell's Biology
• Internet review of sites that show electron microscope pictures of cell organelles
