        *Nucleic acid

4.  Define the Cell Theory with its 3 parts

5.  Explain the difference between the two basic types (P& E) of cells and give examples.

6.  List and define all the organelles of the Eukaryotic cell.  This is from Chapter 8.

7.  What is the difference between a plant and animal cell?

8.  What is Homeostasis and include the following in your answer:

        *Plasma membrane

        *Cell transport

                ~ Diffusion vs. Osmosis

                ~ Active vs. Passive transport

                ~ ATP and the cell

9.  How do cells grow and reproduce?  
     Be able to explain the 5 phases of Mitosis along with the time frame of each phase.

10.  Look up Stem Cell Research.  What is it?  What is the latest?  Do you agree with this technology?

      Start here for some background.  Can you find some information more recent?

11.  Other things that come up

Labs:  

        * Onion cells

Part B  Project: Write a story about how a cell works like a factory  
                                    choose one of the following:

                                     1.  A story book            2.  Power Point

The Project is due after Christmas break Jan. 2005.

      Story must be typed 12 pt. font double spaced  (include rough draft) and illustrations must be colored.

2.  Create a power point explaining how a cell works like a factory including illustrations.

      Remember:  No sounds except if you find a video clip

      Picture of organelles with labels of parts

     What part do your organelles play in the cell factory with function?

      May include photo, clip art, video clips
