Describe the structure of eukaryotic cells, including plant and animal cells, noting the presence of a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material enclosed within a nucleus.
Describe the structure of prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, highlighting their smaller size, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and cell wall.
Understand that the genetic material in prokaryotic cells is not enclosed in a nucleus, but exists as a single DNA loop and potentially one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids.
Demonstrate an understanding of the scale and size of cells.
Perform order of magnitude calculations, including the use of standard form, to compare and evaluate cell sizes.
