Expected Student Learning Competencies

 * Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
 * Explain that some structures in eukaryotic cells developed from early prokaryotic cells (e.g., mitochondria, chloroplasts)
 * Relate the structure of cell organelles to their function (energy capture and release, transport, waste removal, protein synthesis, movement, etc).
 * Explain the role of water in cell metabolism.
 * Explain how the cell membrane functions as a regulatory structure and protective barrier for the cell.
 * Describe transport mechanisms across the plasma membrane.
 * Explain how cells differentiate in multicellular organisms.
 * Analyze how cells in different tissues/organs are specialized to perform specific functions. (extension)
