For both of the videos under the Sources heading above, answer the lettered questions below the video’s link (a through e).
Explicitly indicate which questions you are answering with bullets.
Write in complete sentences and avoid use of pronouns that make your answers non-descriptWeekly Learning Action Plan – Cell Structure and Function
Introduction
This week we are covering the basics of cell structure and function – the foundations of what is known as cell theory. We explore cell theory with a case study in antibiotics, touching on the mechanisms of antibiotics, while outlining the important workings of cells. Start by reviewing the sources (i.e., read the chapter and view the videos) and complete the assignment. Piece together the terms that these sources introduce with an exercise in Connecting the Concepts. Lastly, finish with a chapter quiz. You should allow yourself 7-9 hours to complete everything on this list.
Objectives
Use the following learning objectives to guide you through this week’s sources and module activities, which are labelled with numbers according to the objective they aim to address. By the end of the week you should be able to:
Describe the basic conclusions of cell theory and explain why these conclusions are important to our daily lives.
Compare and contrast the basic structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and discuss the importance of these differences in the context of antibiotics.
List the basic parts of a eukaryotic cell and describe the function of these parts.
Describe the semi-permeable nature of cell membranes with regard to the basic ways molecules cross cell membranes.
Sources
Objectives 1-4:
Read, take notes, and reflect on Chapter 3: Cell Structure and Function from your text – Biology for a Changing World, 3rd edition.
Review chapter_3_lecture_slides, uploaded to module 4 on folio.
Objectives 1 & 4:
View CrashCourse’s video on membranes and transport and read the content on Diffen.com comparing active and passive transport. Consider the following questions:
Why is the semi-permeable nature of cell membranes important?
Compare and contrast aquaporin, and a sodium-potassium pump. Your answer to this question should include the following:
What is the function of aquaporin?
What is the function of a sodium-potassium pump?
How do these two transport proteins differ?!
How does Vesicular Transport differ from diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport?
Objective 2 & 3:
View Khan Academy’s video on characteristics of eukaryotic cells and Khan Academy’s video overview of animal and plant cells. There are a lot of parts described in these videos. View them as many times as you need to - you should be able to match the pieces and parts of a typical cell with the function of those parts. Consider the following questions:
Why is understanding the basic parts of a cell important?
Describe at least three specific ways prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells
