1 General Biology Course Description and Philosophy Biology is the study of life on the planet Earth. This is a standard college preparatory life science course. Among the concepts covered in the course are the structures and functions of cells, the biochemical basis of life, the characteristics of various organisms, the classification of organisms, genetics (including molecular genetics) and heredity, evolution and ecological relationships. The unity and diversity of life are emphasized. Various biological processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, circulation, digestion and nervous response are investigated. Laboratory investigations include studies of cells using the microscope, the examination of live and preserved organism, and the analysis of genetic problems. Student performance will be evaluated using a variety of assessments, including teacher-generated tests and quizzes, examinations, laboratory activities, homework, research projects, and class participation. As a summary experience, there will be two half-year examinations, which will represent 20% of the students grades for the year.
