Explain how the primary sub-cellular structures of eukaryotic cells (plant and animal) and prokaryotic cells (bacteria) relate to their biological functions.
Compare eukaryotic cells, which possess a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material enclosed within a nucleus, to much smaller prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus and have a single DNA loop and plasmids.
Describe the specific functions of the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, and ribosomes in animal cells.
Identify and describe the additional sub-cellular structures found in plant cells, including chloroplasts, a permanent vacuole, and a cellulose cell wall.
Use a light microscope to observe, draw, and accurately label a variety of plant and animal cells, ensuring a magnification scale is included.
