S7L2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe how cell structures, cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems interact to maintain the basic needs of organisms.

a. Develop a model and construct an explanation of how cell structures (specifically the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, lysosome, and mitochondria) contribute to the function of the cell as a system in obtaining nutrients in order to grow, reproduce, make needed materials, and process waste.

Learning Target

Article Overview
Henrietta Lacks’ "immortal" cells
By Smithsonian.com, adapted by Newsela staff
12/21/2016
Henrietta Lacks was an African American woman who died of Cervical Cancer. Doctors at John Hopkins took a portion of her tumor without her knowledge and begin growing the cells in culture. These were the first cells to ever be grown outside of the human body. They used her cells to find treatments for diseases such as polio. This text will help students construct an explanation and draw conclusions about the necessity of cell parts and organelles in cell growth and reproduction.

" Medical researchers use laboratory-grown human cells to learn how cells work and test theories about the causes and treatment of diseases. "

Cells are the smallest unit of an organization yet it has the greatest importance in discovering the causes and treatments diseases.

"Henrietta’s cells were the first immortal human cells ever grown in culture.?

How are cells grown in a culture? What processes and equipment are needed?

“In 1951, a scientist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, created the first immortal human cell line with a tissue sample taken from a young black woman with cervical cancer.”

Would the scientists have felt comfortable taking cells from a young white woman?

Twenty-five years after Henrietta died, a scientist discovered that many cell cultures thought to be from other tissue types, including breast and prostate cells, were in fact HeLa cells.

The New Colossus

By Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she

With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
