Unit 3 Cells Chapter 7 Cell Structure and Function
Lesson Outline
7.3 Cell Transport – We traced the movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy. We explored the processes of diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Next, we learned about the process of osmosis and the solutions that are passed through the cell membrane during this method. We learned the difference between isotonic and hypertonic solutions.

Unit 3 Cells Chapter 7 Cell Structure and Function
Lesson Outline
7.2 Cell Structure – We learned about the cellular boundaries. We explored the function of cell walls and the lipid bilayer. We discovered the meaning of selectively permeable.

Unit 3 Cells Chapter 7 Cell Structure and Function
Lesson Outline
7.2 Cell Structure – We learned about the function of the chloroplasts and mitochondria in the cell. Then we learned to describe the function of the cell membrane. Next, we divided the organelles into three categories: protein builders, capture and release energy, and store, cleanup, and support.

Unit 3 Cells Chapter 7 Cell Structure and Function
Lesson Outline
7.2 Cell Structure – We learned about the structure and function of the cell nucleus. We explore the role of vacuoles, lysosomes, and the cytoskeleton. Next, we identified the role of ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus in making proteins.

Unit 3 Cells Chapter 7 Cell Structure and Function
Lesson Outline
7.1 Life is Cellular – We learned how scientists use light microscopes and electron microscopes to explore the structure of cells. We learned that all cells contain DNA and are surrounded by a thin cell membrane. We explored the two types of cells, eukaryotes that enclose DNA and prokaryotes that do not enclose DNA.

Unit 3 Cells Chapter 7 Cell Structure and Function
Lesson Outline
7.1 Life is Cellular – We learned that the invention of the microscope in the 1600s enabled researchers to see cells for the first time. Robert Hooke named the empty chambers in cork cells. Cells are the basic units of life. We learned about the discoveries by German scientists that led to the development of the cell theory.
