Conceptual Biology

Conceptual Biology is a course designed to provide a survey of important biological concepts in a very structured classroom atmosphere. As part of the course students can expect homework approximately one night per week. The course will explore (1) cells and cell processes, which include basic biological principles, the chemical basis for life, bioenergetics, homeostasis, transport, and (2) the continuity and unity of life which includes cell growth, cell reproduction, genetics, evolution, and ecology. The course covers the material assessed on the Biology Keystone Exam.
