Journal Entry:
What are the key elements in cell communication through a signal transduction pathway?
Learning Intentions
We will learn to identify the key elements of a cell signaling pathway and draw a picture to represent it.
We will learn to describe the processes by which cells communicate.
We will learn to explain ways that signal transduction pathways can be altered.
Closing Task:
You can explain a real world example of how a signal transduction pathway has been altered in your life.
Content Standards being covered:
3.31 The student is able to describe basic chemical processes
for cell communication shared across evolutionary lines of descent.
3.32 The student is able to generate scientific questions involving cell
communication as it relates to the process of evolution.
3.33 The student is able to use representation(s) and appropriate models to
describe features of a cell signaling pathway.
3.34 The student is able to construct explanations of cell communication through
cell to cell direct contact or through chemical signaling.
3.35 The student is able to create representations that depict how cell to cell
communication occurs by direct contact or from a distance through chemical
signaling.
3.36 The student is able to describe a model that expresses the key elements of
signal transduction pathways by which a signal is converted to a cellular
response.
3.37 The student is able to justify claims based on scientific evidence that
changes in signal transduction pathways can alter cellular response.
3.38 The student is able to describe a model that expresses key elements to show
how change in signal transduction can alter cellular response.
3.39 The student is able to construct an explanation of how certain drugs affect
signal reception and, consequently, signal transduction pathways.
