Unit 0: Review of Basic Biology and Chemistry Prep
Unit 1: Chemistry of Life The role of water as the basis of life and the structure and function of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids).
Unit 2: Cells The structure of cells, the function of organelles, and how cells interact with their environment through processes like membrane transport.
Unit 3: Cellular Energetics The principles of energy capture and use, focusing on the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The role of enzymes is also a major topic.
Unit 4: Cell Communication and Cell Cycle How cells communicate with each other through signal transduction pathways, and how they regulate their own replication and division.
Unit 5: Heredity The mechanisms of genetics, including meiosis, Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance, and how traits are passed from one generation to the next.
Unit 6: Gene Expression and Regulation The structure and function of DNA and RNA, how genetic information is expressed and regulated, and the principles of biotechnology.
Unit 7: Natural Selection The theory of natural selection as the driver of evolution, including evidence for evolution, population genetics, and speciation.Â
Unit 8: Ecology How populations interact within communities and ecosystems, including topics like energy flow and biodiversity.
