This course introduces basic concepts and topics from the life sciences. Students will explore the fundamentals of biology from the characteristics of life to genetics, natural selection, and protein synthesis. Students will also learn about environment-related topics, such as food webs and webs, ecological succession, the carbon and nitrogen cycles, and ecological relationships. They will become familiar with prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, cellular processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and osmosis, and biological molecules. Additionally, they will explore heredity, genetics, alleles, genes, and pedigrees; as well as viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, and plant anatomy and reproduction. Finally, students will gain an overview of human body system functions.
