Standard 3: The Cell
Objective 3.1: The Cell is the basic unit of life.
Understand that the cell is the basic unit of life and cells
only come from pre-existing cells. Understand that as
multicellular organisms develop, their cells differentiate.

□ I know that the cell is the basic unit of life.
□
I understand that cells only come from existing cells.
□
I can explain that all
organisms are composed of one or more cells.
□
I understand that as
multicellular organisms develop, certain cells differentiate.
□ I can explain differentiation in cells, and give an example. (Christopher Reeves?)
□ I can differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
□ Vocabulary

Explain each concept
□ The cell theory states that all organisms are made of cells
□ The cell is the basic unit of life.
□ All cells come from other cells.
□ All cells have a cell membrane, DNA, cytoplasm, and ribosomes.
□ Most cells are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
□ Materials that cells need to take in or release must pass
through the cell membrane.
□ Eukaryotes have linear DNA enclosed in a nucleus and
membrane-covered organelles.
□ Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA and organelles that are
not covered by membranes.
□ As multicellular organisms develop, their cells differentiate with specific characteristics.
