Cells
Standard: BIO1.LS1.2
Evaluate comparative models of various cell types with a focus on organic molecules that make up cellular structures.
Explanation
Students explicitly discuss the structure and function of major cellular organelles in seventh grade. Building on this understanding, Biology I students should shift their focus to the different types of cells found in organisms and how the role of each cell type relates to its composition and the prevalence of different organelles within that cell. An example might include the absence of the nucleus (or enucleation) in red blood cells in mammals providing for increased levels of oxygen transport in organisms or the lack of centrioles in
most neurons. Varying cell types can include both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell types.
