Literacy Connection: Comparative Paragraph

Lesson #6

Write a comparative paragraph distinguishing between Mitosis and Meiosis

Student: Mitosis

Cell Division

Lesson #5

Learning Goal:

We will learn about Cell Division

Assignment: Draw a diagram with the phases of Mitosis, include labels in each phase.

Cellular Processes

Lesson #4

Energy is required in the following cellular activities:

·         growth

·         transport

·         repair of damage at the cellular level

·         reproduction

·         cellular respiration

Multicellular Organisms

Multicellular Organisms

Cell Specialization: When a variety of types of cells perform cellular functions, these cells must react with other types of cells in the organism in order to complete their tasks. There are specialized plant cells such as xylem cells in the root and there are specialized animal cells such as human muscle cells.
