U6: Lesson 10 - What do bacteria need to make more of themselves? (copy)

In the following questions, you are going to construct an argument supported by evidence. In our efforts to figure out how cells in the human body can fill the gap to heal a wound, we found out that like mammal cells, bacteria cells can grow and split to reproduce and make more of themselves.

Based on the data you analyzed and the information you obtained in this lesson, what do bacteria and other single-celled organisms need to reproduce and make more of themselves?

Think back to when we saw mammal cells making more of themselves in the last lesson. Construct an argument: What do you think our (human) cells need in order to reproduce and make more of themselves?

Make a prediction: How do bacteria, single-celled organisms, and the cells that make up other multiple celled organisms get the food they need?
