1. Topic 1.1 – Introduction to Cells
Day 1- Cell theory, Limitations, life functions, and microscopy

3. Common Features of Cells
List the four common features of cells.

4. NOS: Not all cells conform to the cell theory
According to the text (p 3), what is a discrepancy?
How is the cell theory an example of where scientists looked for trends and discrepancies? (Don’t forget to include Hooke!)

6. Testing the cell theory
Using your text or other resources, identify what the 3 images are on the this slide. Next, discuss why they do not conform to the cell theory.

7. Testing the cell theory
What are hypha?
What is the difference between septate hypha and nonseptate (aseptate) hypha?
Sketch the difference below.
Explain why the aseptate fungi do not conform to the cell theory.

8. What are the 7 functions of life?
_______________________________

9. Compare how Paramecium and Chlorella go about their life functions differently
Paremecium
Nutrition
Metabolism
Growth
Response
Excretion
Homeostasis
Reproduction

10. Compare how a unicellular vs a multicellular organism goes about these necessary functions
Nutrition
Metabolism
Growth
Response
Excretion
Homeostasis
Reproduction

13. A great little conversion chart that you will probably use more than once!

14. Of scale bar
Of object

19. Topic 1.1 Cell Theory
Day 2- Size limitations, multicellular orgs, differentiation and stem cells

22. Surface Area to Volume ratio is important in the limitation of cell size
Why can’t cells get too big???????? Explain how the surface area to volume ratio (SA:V) would limit how large a cell can get, citing specific examples of how they work around this limit(refer to next slide).

24. Multicellular organization
Interactions of parts. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

25. Day 3: Cell differentiation, Gene expression, Stem Cells
Topic 1.1 Intro to Cells
Day 3: Cell differentiation, Gene expression, Stem Cells

26. What is Cell Differentiation?-Use p11 in text to complete
What is a good analogy of how cells work in a multicellular organism?
Give 3 examples of cells in the human body and the function or job they perform.
__________________________
Define Tissue:
What is the benefit of a cell becoming specialized?

27. How do cells become differentiated (specialized)
How do cells become differentiated (specialized)? Use p 11 in text to complete the notes
Do all cells in an organism have the same set of genes (genome)? _________
Is every gene expressed (turned on, protein made) in every cell in an organism? ____________
Describe the rod cell example in your book that demonstrates cell specialization:
What is the relationship between development and gene expression?

30. Stem Cells- What you need to know, apply, and think about
Stem cells are the cells that arise after zygote formation
They have the potential to become any specialized cell that is encoded in the organisms genome
Therapeutic use of stem cells to treat Stargardt’s disease and Leukemia
NOS- Ethics of stem cell research
Sources of stem cells and the ethics of using them

32. What is so special about stem cells? Use p12-13 in text to answer
The two key properties that have made research of stem cells so active are (summarize in your own words):
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

33. List the potential uses of Embryonic Stem cells (p13)

34. List the potential non-therapeutic uses of stem cells (p13)

35. Describe the difference and importance of early stage stem cells compared to those that are further along in development
Do stem cells exist in adult organisms? Where would we find them?
