Be sure to study your class notes and refer to the PowerPoint presentations etc. posted on my website if needed. This information can be found at <>. You must be able to…

 Define the cell theory (explain what its purpose is) and list its two main points (composed of cells; come from pre-existing cells)

 Explain that the cell is a living system that exhibits all of the six characteristics of living things, and be able to list these and give 1-2 examples of each where possible (304-4) o Living things are composed of cells o Living things grow, reproduce, and repair themselves (give an example of each one of these separately) o Living things require energy Etc….

 Explain that growth and reproduction of cells depend on cell division (and that there are two types) (304-6) o Meiosis – sexual cell division (i.e., reproduction; offspring) o Mitosis – asexual cell division – produces identical copy of parent cells (i.e., healing a wound)

 Identify an image of a cell as either a plant or an animal cell and label all cell organelles present  List at least six differences between plant and animal cells, and be able to identify, label, and define the organelles found in each (109-13, 304-5). You may compare cells based on… . Cell size, Cell shape, Cell colour, Size and number of vacuoles in each type of cell . Organelles found (plant cells – cell wall, chloroplasts; animal cells – flagellum/cilia)

 Explain how early cell theory ideas differ from the modern cell theory and explain how philosophers and scientists came to draw these ideas (110-2) o Early cell theory – Everything was made up of the four classical elements (Earth - solids, wind - gases, fire - plasmas, water - liquids) – observed from natural world (what they saw with their unaided eyes) o Modern cell theory – all living things are composed of tiny cells, and all cells come from pre-existing cells – only made possible by the invention of the microscope

 List, label, and be able to describe the function of all of the parts of the microscope  Give step-by-step instructions on how to use a microscope safely and properly (209-3) o List correct order of steps in order to get a cell into focus o At least three safety rules (how to carry, how to store with low objective facing down, etc.)

 Explain how the needs/functions of cells and organs relate to the needs/functions of the human organism as a whole (304-8) o See powerpoint about energy/nutrients, water, and oxygen, producing wastes, etc.

 Explain how cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems in the human body are structurally and functionally related (304-7) o Levels of cellular organization and specific examples of how they interact/what each is made up of

 Give three examples of conflicting evidence related to how we should maintain and/or treat our body systems (110-5)

 Name and describe at least five human organ systems and be able to list and describe… o Their main organs and tissues involved o Two diseases/disorders related to each system o Factors that affect the functioning/efficiency of the human organ systems, particularly the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems (i.e., obesity, lack of exercise, overeating, diets, etc.) (304-9) o Five technologies used to assist or replace unhealthy organs in these systems (i.e., dialysis, heart pump) (111-5)

 Describe in detail three examples of the interdependence of organ systems in the human body (how they are related) (304-10)  Provide at least four examples of careers that are associated with the health of body systems – name the career, explain what he/she does, and which organ system(s) this career relates to (112-10)
