Beginner Level
Welcome to High School Biology. This course covers the biological topics that will help students enter the Life Science world. We include information that is relatable and important in real life. Students who finish a year can enroll successfully in Anatomy and Physiology or AP biology courses as they will have the fundamentals pre-requisite and a strong foundation. Weekly Breakdown *** FALL SEMESTER (14 WEEKS)*** Unit 1: Biology Foundations • Introduction to Biology • Water and its hydrogen bonds • Atoms, Elements, Molecules • Biological molecules - amino acids, fats, carbs, vitamins, and minerals. • pH, Acid and Bases Unit 2: Cells and Cell Organelles • Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes • Basic Cell Structure • Cell Organelles • Plant cells vs Animal cells Unit 3: Energy and Trasport • Intro to metabolism- Anabolism Vs Catabolism • ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) • Enzymes • Passive and Active Transport • Cellular Respiration vs Photosynthesis Unit 4: Cell Reproduction and Division • Sexual vs Asexual reproduction • Chromosome structure • Cell cycle • Mitosis • Meiosis ***SPRING SEMESTER (16 WEEKS) *** Unit 5: Molecular Genetics • DNA structure and replication • RNA, Transcription and Translation • Protein synthesis • Biotechnology Unit 6: Classical Genetics • Intro to Heredity • Mendelian Laws of Genetics • Non-mendelian inheritance • Sex linkage and Pedigree Unit 7: Plant Biology • Seeds and Germination • Roots, Stems and Growth • Leaves and Photosynthesis • Cellular Respiration and Transpiration • Flower and Fruit Unit 8: Evolution • Evolution and Natural Selection • Variation in species • Phylogeny • Biodiversity Unit 9: Ecology • Intro to Ecology • Ecosystem and Biomes • Population Ecology • Community Genetics • Ecological Relationships • Trophic Levels • Biogeochemical Cycles
