Standard 7.4 Explains how cell processes sustain life
Our unit on cells explores the history of the cell theory and how our current understanding of cells came to be. We will also explore the structure and function of cells in-depth, focusing mainly on plants and animals with some time spent on bacteria, protists, and fungi. Once students have a clear understanding of the structure and function of cells, we will look more closely as cellular processes, mainly cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and fermentation.
