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
