B3.2 compare and contrast the
structure and
function of different types of
prokaryotes,
eukaryotes, and viruses (e.g.,
compare and
contrast genetic material, metabolism,
organelles,
and other cell parts)

CF 1.1 describe how
organelles and other cell
components carry out various
cell
processes (e.g., digestion,
transportation,
gas exchange, excretion) and
explain how
these processes are related to
the function
of organs;
CF 1.3 describe the fluid
mosaic structure of cell
membranes, and explain the
dynamics of
passive transport (facilitated
diffusion) and
the processes of endocytosis
and exocytosis
of large particles;
CF2.1design and carry out an
investigation on
cellular function, controlling the
major
variables (e.g., examine the
movement of
substances across a
membrane; measure a
metabolic process such as
fermentation);
CF2.4carry out, in a safe and
accurate manner,
biological tests for
macromolecules found
in living organisms (e.g., use
iodine and
Benedictʼs solution to test
for carbohydrates;
use Sudan IV to test for the
presence
of lipids).

B3.1 explain the roles of various
organelles, such
as lysosomes, vacuoles,
mitochondria, internal
cell membranes, ribosomes,
smooth and rough
endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi
bodies, in
cellular processes
B3.6 describe the structure of cell
membranes according
to the fluid mosaic model,the
dynamics of passive transport,
facilitated
diffusion, and the movement of
large particles
across the cell membrane by the
processes of
endocytosis and exocytosis
B2.2 plan and conduct an
investigation to demonstrate
the movement of substances
across a
membrane (e.g., the effects of
salt water and
distilled water on a potato) [IP,
PR]
B2.4 conduct biological tests to
identify biochemical
compounds found in various food
samples
(e.g., use Benedictʼs solution to
test for carbohydrates
in food samples), and compare
the biochemical
compounds found in each food to
those found in the others [PR, AI,
C]
