Unit: Cell Membrane and Cell Processes

Essential Questions: How does the structure of the cell membranes allows for different molecules to move across the membrane.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this unit, you should be able to.... (Those in bold will be essential & will be assessed formally in the curriculum)

	Objectives	Standards
1.	Identify the main functions of cell membrane (and the cell wall)	Core Idea: LS1.A: STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
2.	Describe the composition of cell membrane including carbohydate chains, lipid bilayer, and protein channels.	Core Idea: LS1.A: STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
3.	Distinguish between plant and animal cells in terms of cell boundaries.
4.	Describe the process of diffusion.
5.	Compare and contrast diffusion, osmosis, faciliated diffusion, and active transport.
6.	Compare and contrast endocytosis and excosytosis
7.	Explain the role of the cell membrane as a highly selective barrier using the process of diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
8.	Compare and contrast what happens to a plant and animal cell when placed in isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solution.
9.	Explain phagocytosis and pinocytosis as means of taking in materials to the membrane.
