Unit 3: Structures and Functions of Living Organisms

Introduction and Pre-assessment

Objectives:

• 7.L.1 Understand the processes, structures and functions of living organisms that enable

  them to survive, reproduce and carry out the basic functions of life.

  
  

• 7.L.1.1 Compare the structures and life functions of single-celled organisms that carry out all of the basic functions of life including: Euglena, Amoeba, Paramecium, Volvox

• 7.L.1.2 Compare the structures and functions of plant and animal cells, including major organelles

  (cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and vacuoles).

Multiple Choice

Which of these is NOT part of the cell theory?

• All living things are made up of cells

• Cells come only from other cells

• Cells are the smallest living unit of an organism

• All living things have blood cells

Multiple Choice

What type of cell is this?

• Plant Cell

• Volvox

• Bacteria Cell

• Eukaryotic Cell

Multiple Choice

This organelle is found in eukaryotic cells. It contains the DNA and controls the functions.

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

Multiple Choice

What am I?

• Paramecium

• Amoeba

• Slime

• Plant

Multiple Choice

This organelle regulates what goes in and out of the cell.

• Gate

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Cell Wall

• Cell Membrane

Multiple Select

Which cell is a plant cell?

Multiple Choice

How does the protist euglena move?

• Cilia

• Pseudopod

• Flagella/Flagellum

• Crawl

Multiple Choice

What is a good indicator that a Protist performs Photosynthesis?

• It has cilia

• It appears green

• It lacks flagellum

• It appears clear

Multiple Select

What are the levels of organization of plants and animals from simplest to most complex?

• Cells form organisms, organisms to tissues, and tissues form organs

• Cells form tissues, and tissues form organs. Organs form organ systems, and organ systems form organisms.

• Organisms form systems, systems for organs, organs for tissues, tissues form cells

• small to medium, medium to large, large to extra large

Multiple Choice

Excerpt from, Single Celled Monster, "Suddenly, an almost clear blob would be creeping toward us. This creature doesn’t have a definite shape, but is able to reach out with fake feet or “pseudopods to move. This Amoeba doesn’t have chlorophyll and doesn’t go through photosynthesis. Instead we can see this blob creature use its jelly like body to completely surround a smaller organism to digest it. The amoeba has a production that is asexual and sexual like the Volvox colony".

Which two members of the Protist family go through asexual and sexual reproduction?

• Plant and Animal Cell

• Volvox and Euglena

• Amoeba and Volvox

• Paramecium and Volvox

Multiple Select

What is the difference between a tissue and an organ?

• tissue are a group of cells working together for a common function

• an organ is a group of tissue working together for a common function

• Organ is on a higher level than a tissue

Multiple Choice

Exit Ticket: Which statement describes the organization of living organisms?

• All organisms are composed of many cells, which are the basic units of structure but do not perform life functions.

• All organisms are composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of structure and perform essential life functions.

• All organisms are composed of many cells that have basic units with unique structures and functions.

• All organisms are composed of one or more cells with the same shape and purpose but are not the basic units of structure.
