Unit 3—Cell Communication & Division

Big Ideas 1, 2, 3, 4

Cell Communication/Signaling Objectives

1. Describe and provide examples of short distance and long distance intercellular communication.

2. Describe and model the key elements of intracellular communication (signal transduction pathways) in which a signal is converted to a cellular response.

3. Explain how changes in signal transduction pathways can alter cellular responses.

4. Compare and contrast eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells in terms of cell communication. Describe how these similarities and differences provide evidence for the evolutionary relationship between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Cell Cycle Objectives

5. Diagram, label, and describe the parts of the cell cycle.

6. Outline the sequence of events in mitosis that allow for the even distribution of genetic material.

7. Describe components of cell cycle regulation.

8. Define cancer and explain how aberrations in the cell cycle can lead to tumor formation.

9. Compare and contrast eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells in terms of cell division. Describe how these similarities and differences provide evidence for the evolutionary relationship between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
