Standard - 3.1.B.A4

Summarize the stages of the cell cycle.

Examine how interactions among the different molecules in the cell cause the distinct stages of the cell cycle which can also be influenced by other signaling molecules.

Explain the role of mitosis in the formation of new cells and its importance in maintaining chromosome number during asexual reproduction.

Compare and contrast a virus and a cell. Relate the stages of viral cycles to the cell cycle.

Assessments

Assessment Anchor - BIO.A.4
Homeostasis and Transport
- Anchor Descriptor - BIO.A.4.1
  Identify and describe the cell structures involved in transport of materials into, out of and throughout a cell.
  - Eligible Content - BIO.A.4.1.1 Describe how the structure of the plasma membrane allows it to function as a regulatory structure and/or protective barrier for a cell.
  - Eligible Content - BIO.A.4.1.2 Compare and contrast the mechanisms that transport materials across the plasma membrane (i.e., passive transport -- diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion; active transport -- pumps, endocytosis, exocytosis).
  - Eligible Content - BIO.A.4.1.3 Describe how endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and other membrane-bound cellular organelles facilitate transport of materials within cells.

    Continuum of Activities
- Anchor Descriptor - BIO.A.4.2
  Explain mechanisms that permit organisms to maintain biological balance between their internal and external environments.
  - Eligible Content - BIO.A.4.2.1 Explain how organisms maintain homeostasis (e.g., thermoregulation, water regulation, oxygen regulation).
