Module 2 Assignment: The Cell — Structure, Function, and Digital Concept Mapping **Please click here for activity instructions and submission requirements**
Instructions
This assignment addresses course outcome(s)
Course Outcome(s) Addressed- CO 2: Apply the principles of microbiology to describe cellular organization, structure, and function in microorganisms.
- CO 3: Demonstrate understanding of the relationship between cell structure and microbial physiology relevant to nursing and allied-health practice.
Module Learning Objective(s) Addressed
- MLO 2.1: Identify and describe the structural components of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- MLO 2.2: Compare and contrast cellular structures such as the cell wall, plasma membrane, and organelles.
- MLO 2.3: Explain the functional importance of cellular structures in maintaining microbial survival, growth, and pathogenicity.
- MLO 2.4: Create a digital concept map illustrating how structural and functional relationships contribute to microbial physiology and clinical relevance.
This assignment integrates scientific content with a digital learning skill. Students will apply microbiological knowledge and visual-organization tools to demonstrate their understanding of cellular structure and function.
Understanding the structure and function of the prokaryotic cell is foundational to microbiology, especially for nursing and allied health students who must recognize how microbial components relate to pathogenicity, treatment, and infection control.
As stated above:
In this assignment, you will create a digital concept map that illustrates the primary structural components of a typical prokaryotic cell and the functional relationships among them.
- You may use any digital concept-mapping tool (Lucidchart, Canva, MindMeister, Coggle, PowerPoint, etc.)
- Your map must clearly connect structural terms and functional concepts
- You must include a minimum of 5 meaningful links branching from your central term
- Connecting phrases must explain the relationship between concepts
