Welcome to General Biology
The purpose of this course is to introduce you to how scientists explore the living world. It is my goal to give you the tools which will allow you to explore the living world too. To help facilitate the process, we have organized the course into several units. You may click on the unit below to go to the correct page or you can use the drop down menu under the "General Biology" tab. The following is a list of units (in order) we will explore in class.
Units:
The Nature of Science: How do Scientists Study the Natural World.
The Chemistry of Life: The Structure of the Atom, Chemical Bonds, Polar vs. Non-polar.
The Basic Unit of Life: The Cell.
Energy: How it is transformed, transferred, and used by organisms.
Protein Synthesis: How DNA controls what proteins are made.
Cell Division: How Organisms Grow and How Sex Cells are Made.
Genetics: How Traits are Passed from One Parent to Offspring.
Ecology: How do Organisms Interact with Each other and their Environment.
Natural Selection: How does the Environment Control what Traits Continue in a Population.
Classification: How do Scientists Organize Life on our Planet.
