Unit Driving Questions

  1. How is a human body built from atoms? (Part 1: Building the Building Blocks of Life.)

Understandings

  1. A complex set of chemical reactions provide the substances and energy needed to sustain life:
  2. Cells have many of the same organelles
  3. The same organelle in one cell can produce different products than the same organelle in a different type of cell
  4. The same 4 types of organic molecules (macromolecules) make up all living things.
  5. Chemical reactions in cells take place based on the cell’s environment and substances present
  6. Cells get old and die. Cells reproduce, generating new cells.

Learning Targets:
Students will be able to....

  1. Identify and describe and apply basic principles of chemistry as they relate to human anatomy and physiology.
  2. List the elements most plentiful in the human body (C, H, O, N, P, Na, Ca, Mg, K, Cl, S). Describe their properties and bonding. (review of basic chemistry)
  3. List and describe the structure of 4 organic molecules that make up living things. (review of biology)
  4. Identify, describe, and explain cell structures and their functions.
  5. Describe and explain how different substances move into or out of a cell.
  6. Describe the replication process and products in a body cell (cell cycle)
  7. Explain homeostasis and briefly describe a mechanism used to maintain a stable environment within the body.
