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. 

Student: Unicellular Organism

Unicellular Organisms

Lesson # 2

We will research unicellular organisms

·         We will label the diagram of the unicellular organism

·         We will learn about its life cycle

·         We will learn its life span

·         We will learn what it eats

·         We will learn what organisms eat it

·         We will learn how it gets energy

·         We will learn its defense mechanisms

·         We will learn what effects it has on the environment

Length of assignment: No specific requirement.

Date of the assignment: 1 week to complete.

Typed or hand written.
