=Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results= __Standard Label:__ E. The Living Environment __Standard:__ E3. Cells __Grade Level Span:__ Grade 9-Diploma Students describe structure and function of cells at the intracellular and molecular level including differentiation to form systems, interactions between cells and their environment, and the impact of cellular processes and changes on individuals. ||
 * **Establish Goals (MLR):** **(G)** ||
 * __Content Area:__ Science and Technology

//What understandings are desired?//
•there is a basic structure of cells and that cellular components work independently and collaboratively to allow the cell to function as a whole. •four essential macromolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids) dictate the work of all cells and organisms. ||
 * **//Students will understand that://** **(U)** ||
 * •there exists a structural hierarchy within organisms that dictates function among and within cells.

//What essential questions will be considered?//
•What is the basic structure of a cell and how do its individual structures impact the life of the cell? •Why are nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids essential to cell survival and reproduction? ||
 * **Essential Questions:** **(Q)** ||
 * •Why does a structural hierarchy exist among and within cells and how does it affect cell function and cell life?

//What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?//
•__Sequence:__ hierarchy in organisms, hierarchy in cells, how organelles effect cells, how a single cell effects a multicellular organism, like cells form tissues, like tissues form organs, how individual structure effects component of cell life, how component of cell life effects whole cell, molecular building blocks, molecules build macromolecules which allow cellular processes to occur, nucleic acids carry information to build proteins, amino acids link to form proteins •__Critical Details:__ organelle structure and function in cells, Cell Theory, progression of sequence from molecule to organism, organelle structure, organelle function, impact of structures on functions, important molecules (C, H, O), nucleic acids store genetic information, RNA builds proteins, amino acids are protein building blocks, enzymes regulate chemical reactions (metabolism), function of nucleic acids and proteins in self as an organism, function of carbohydrates and lipids || •demonstrate what it means to be alive and the specific cellular components required for life. •illustrate process of protein synthesis and how proteins are used in the body. •produce a finished product demonstrating understanding of cellular hierarchy, illuminating the relationship between molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. •compare and contrast the specific functions of individual cellular components and how they impact the cell as a whole. •use an analogous relationship to relate the functions of organelles to a larger system (such as body, city, ecosystem, world, etc. of choosing). •recognize how each essential macromolecule can be seen in humans on a daily basis. ||
