Description

Cell Structure and Transport is Unit 2 of Biology: Systems, Structure, and Change (Grade 9), the Letters & Devotion Science course, complete in one printable PDF: 8 lessons, the unit check-up and the answer key, 76 pages.

• Organelle structure-function relationships
• Organelle abundance as evidence of cell specialization
• Phospholipid bilayer structure and membrane protein function
• Passive transport (diffusion, osmosis) vs. active transport
• Osmosis and tonicity as a quantitative relationship
• The surface-area-to-volume constraint on cell size
• The cell as evidence for homeostasis
• Integration of organelle structure-function and membrane transport in a novel cell

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
