UTPA STEM/CBI Courses/The Cell

Course Title: Biology

Lecture Topic: Animal and Plant Cell Structure Functions

Instructor: Joana A. Cordoba

Institution: South Texas College

Backwards Design

Course Objectives

• Primary Objectives- By the next class period students will be able to:
  • Identify the parts of an animal using slides and/or models
  • Identify the parts of a plant using slides and/or models
  • Identify unique organelles only found in animal or plant cells

• Sub Objectives- The objectives will require that students be able to:
  • Identify the function of the organelles found in the animal cell
  • Identify the function of the organelles found in the plant cell
  • Describe everyday functions the cell performs
  • Inter-relate the functions and structures involved

• Difficulties- Students may have difficulty:
  • Recalling the biological organization: Organelle → Cell → Tissues → Organ → Organ Systems → Organism → etc.
  • Distinguishing between animal and plant cells
  • Relating some of the functions an organ or organism performs and how the cells support this function
  • Remembering that cells are living architects that exchange information with their surroundings.

• Real-World Contexts- There are many ways that students can use this material in the real-world, such as:
  • Determining what organelles are involved in the aerobic respiration
  • Determining what organelles are involved in the photosynthesis process
  • Understanding how proteins/enzymes are synthesized in the cells. Example) Lactase.
  • Understanding proliferation and/or apoptosis
