EOC - Unit 3 Review Cells Standard 14: SC.912.L.14.1: Describe the scientific theory of cells (cell theory), and relate the history of its discovery to the process of science. Also Assesses: SC.912.N.1.3 Recognize that the strength or usefulness of a scientific claim is evaluated through scientific argumentation, which depends on critical and logical thinking, and the active consideration of alternative scientific explanations to explain the data presented. SC.912.N.2.1 Identify what is science, what clearly is not science, and what superficially resembles science (but fails to meet the criteria for science). SC.912.N.3.1 Explain that a scientific theory is the culmination of many scientific investigations drawing together all the current evidence concerning a substantial range of phenomena; thus, a scientific theory represents the most powerful explanation scientists have to offer. SC.912.N.3.4 Recognize that theories do not become laws, nor do laws become theories; theories are well-supported explanations, and laws are wellsupported descriptions. Benchmark Clarifications Students will: - describe and/or explain the cell theory. - describe how continuous investigations and new scientific information influenced the development of the cell theory. - identify ways in which a scientific claim is evaluated (e.g., through scientific argumentation, critical and logical thinking, and consideration of alternative explanations). - identify the criteria that differentiate science from nonscience and pseudoscience. - explain the development of a theory. - recognize the differences between theories and laws. Content Limits: Items may assess how contributions of scientists such as Van Leeuwenhoek, Hooke, Schwann, Schleiden, and/or Virchow aided in the development of the cell theory but will not assess what each scientist contributed. Items assessing a scientific claim, the development of a theory, or the differences between theories and laws are limited to the cell theory. Sample Questions: 1) The goal of scientific experimentation is to increase what we know about how the natural world operates. If a hypothesis is tested repeatedly by a wide variety of experimental approaches in many scientific investigations and cannot be proved false, then the hypothesis could be called a A. conclusion. B. fact. C. rule. D. theory. 2) In the 1600s, advances in microscopy led to the development of cell theory. Which of the following statements is part of the cell theory? A. All cells require water and oxygen to survive. B. All living things are made of one or more cells. C. All cells have organelles with specialized functions. D. All living things rely on several different types of cells. 3) In order to function, all living things require which of the following? A. cells B. nuclei C. organs D. tissues 4) In the 1830s, Theodor Schwann showed that the mature tissues of animals were traceable to embryonic cells. Which of the following statements of cell theory does this provide evidence for? A. All living things are made from cells. B. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism. C. All cells come from preexisting cells. D. Each cell has a specific design and purpose. 5) Cell theory is a result of the contributions of several different scientists, and applies to all living things. Which of the following explains why cell theory will not ever become the law of cells? A. Cells of different organisms are so diverse that it is impossible to come up with a law that would apply to all of them. B. Because cells undergo change as mutations occur within them, developing anything beyond a cell theory would be impractical. C. Scientific theories are well-tested explanations, while laws are well-tested descriptions of natural phenomena; one cannot become the other. D. Scientific theories can only become laws if all possible cases can be tested; it would be impossible to test all living things to see if they have cells. 6) According to cell theory, which of the following best describes the role of cells in living organisms? A. Cells join together to form multicellular organisms. B. Cells are the basic operating units of living organisms. C. Cells make up the soft portions of tissues in living organisms. D.

The original cell dies and leaves a new one in its place. C. Cells form by free-cell formation, similar to how crystals are formed. D. A membrane forms around DNA that is released from a parent cell, and the DNA contains the information needed to produce organelles. 9) Robert Hooke saw the first cork cells under a microscope in 1665, but it wasn't until 1839 that cell theory gained the support it needed to be accepted. Why did it take 174 years for cell theory to become widely accepted? A. Microscopes were very primitive in 1665, and no real progress was made on improving them until modern microscopes appeared in the early 1830s. B. A great multitude of organisms had to be examined and found to be made of cells before the statement that all living things are made of cells could be trusted. C. When Hooke first proposed that all living things are made of cells, the public was so opposed to the idea that no one dared bring it up again for several generations. D. Scientists at the time were divided on whether or not cells were living things, and it took generations of debate after the evidence was gathered for a majority to win the fight.
10. When scientists set out to test a hypothesis, it is often most practical to try to prove the hypothesis false rather than to prove it is true in all cases.
