简介

Unit 2: Cell Structure and Function (AP Biology)

This unit covers the fundamental biological principles of cellular organization, membrane dynamics, and transport mechanisms as required by the AP Biology curriculum.

  • Core Topics:
    • Cell Structures: Analysis of organelles and their specific functions.
    • Cell Size: The relationship between surface area-to-volume ratios and cellular efficiency.
    • Plasma Membranes: Structure, composition, and the role of membrane permeability.
    • Membrane Transport: Mechanisms including facilitated diffusion, active transport, and passive transport.
    • Tonicity and Osmoregulation: How cells manage water balance and solute concentrations.
    • Cell Compartmentalization: The functional significance of internal membrane-bound structures.
  • Assessment Structure:
    • Three formative quizzes covering specific sub-topics.
    • One comprehensive Unit Test.
  • Curriculum Alignment: The content is mapped to AP Biology Big Ideas, including:
    • ENE (Energy): Energy transfer and metabolic processes.
    • EVO (Evolution): Evolutionary history and cellular origins.
    • SYI (Systems and Interactions): How biological systems interact and maintain homeostasis.
