Biology provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the study of living organisms. The course commences with a thorough exploration of cell structure and function, the basic units of life. From there, learners delve into the complex interactions and processes of biochemical pathways, investigating topics such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

The course’s scope broadens to encompass genetics, an examination of heredity, and evolutionary biology, wherein the concepts of natural selection and speciation are comprehensively covered. Students will study the intricate multi-level organization of life, from organelles to organisms and ecosystems, and learn about the various systems that keep organisms functioning, such as the nervous and circulatory systems in animals or vascular systems in plants.

In addition, the curriculum incorporates lessons in microbiology where students study different types of microorganisms and their role in maintaining the Earth’s ecosystems. Environmental biology is another topical component, providing students an understanding of ecology and the human impact on biodiversity and sustainability.

At the end of the course, students are expected to demonstrate a solid grasp of biological concepts, theories, and laboratory techniques. A strong emphasis is placed on developing analytical and problem-solving skills, preparing students for further studies in the field of biological sciences and enhancing their understanding of the natural world.
