You will also have | |access to these two Power Points on-line via the student shared drive. The time allocated to complete the paper is 2 hours. | | | |In addition to the guidance overleaf, examples to illustrate what is required to meet the grading criteria, will be discussed in class. | | |PLEASE ENSURE THESE GUIDELINES ARE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR ASSIGNMENT | | | | | |LEARNING OUTCOMES | | | |1. 0 Understand the component nature of a generalised cell. | | | |5. 0 Understand that human body cells are specialised for a variety of different functions. | | | |6. Understand the structure and function of the major body tissue types | | | |ASSESSMENT CRITERIA LEVEL 2 | |1. 1 Accurately label a diagram of a generalised human cell showing the: nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane and mitochondria. | |1. 2 Describe the function of the organelles in 1. 1 | | | |5. 1 Accurately draw and label at least two different specialised human body cells. | | | |5. 2 Describe the functions of the cells drawn in 5. | | | |6. 1 Describe the structure and function of the major body tissue types. | | | | | |ASSESSMENT CRITERIA LEVEL 3 | |1. 1 Accurately label a diagram of a generalised human cell showing the: nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane and mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, | |ribosomes, lysosomes, centrioles, and golgi apparatus. | |1. 2 Explain the functions of the organelles in 1. | | | |5. 1 Produce accurately scaled, labelled drawings of at least two different specialised human body cells. | |5. 2 With reference to the examples in 5. 1 explain the importance of complementarity of structure and function. | |6. 1 Explain the structure and function of the major body tissue types. | If all learning outcomes are achieved at level 3 the assignment will be graded according to the grade descriptors below. For this assignment grading criteria 5 and 7 apply. Descriptor |Content for merit |Content for distinction |Guidance | | | | | | |5.
