1 Cells Learning Objectives Use calculated surface area-to-volume ratios to predict which cell(s) might eliminate wastes or procure nutrients faster by diffusion. [LO 2.6, SP 2.2] Explain how cell size and shape affect the overall rate of nutrient intake and the rate of waste elimination. [LO 2.7, SP 6.2] Explain how internal membranes and organelles contribute to cell functions. [LO 2.13, SP 6.2] Use representations and models to describe differences in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. [LO 2.14, SP 1.4] Make a prediction about the interactions of subcellular organelles. [LO 4.4, SP 6.4] Construct explanations based on scientific evidence as to how interactions of subcellular structures provide essential functions. [LO 4.5, SP 6.2] Use representations and models to analyze situations qualitatively to describe how interactions of subcellular structures, which possess specialized functions, provide essential functions.

[LO 1.16, SP 6.1] Pose scientific questions that correctly identify essential properties of shared, core life processes that provide insights into the history of life on Earth. [LO 1.14, SP 3.1] Enduring understanding 2.A: Growth, reproduction and maintenance of the organization of living systems require free energy and matter.
