Course Lessons |  | Lesson 1: Introduction to BiologyIn this first lesson we will go over Biology definitions, history, and the importance of this study. | Lesson 2: The Chemistry InvolvedIn this second lesson we will begin our study of Biology with a brief focus on the Chemistry Involved. This lesson will focus on topics that include matter, atoms, the Bohr Model, the Periodic Table, Macromolecules, Metabolism, etc. | Lesson 3: The Biology of CellsIn lesson three we will focus on cell biology. Topics will include the structure of living organisms, positions on the food chain, the flow of the ecosystem, and the process of the cell cycle. | Lesson 4: Classic Genetics In this fourth lesson we will focus on the topic surrounding the process of Genetics and the occurrence of irregularities. We will also cover the history of the study of Genetics from the studies of Charles Darwin to the controversies surrounding clonin | Lesson 5: Molecular GeneticsIn this fifth lesson we will not only break down the genetic code and understand how genetics occurs; we will also explain the important roles molecular geneticists play covering such topics as: obtaining DNA for Analysis, cell culture, isolating DNA, and | Lesson 6: Principles of EvolutionIn this sixth lesson we will turn our attention to all the facts- theories- and controversies surrounding "Evolution". Topics will include what biologist really think, the studies of Darwin, natural selection, and the contemporary beliefs on Evolution. | Lesson 7: The Origin of Evolution and Life: Human Evolution and the Diversity of LifeIn this lesson we will follow the evolution of evolutionary thought beginning with the ideas of the medieval time, the theories of Immanuel Kant and the Quintessential Naturalists: Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. | Lesson 8: Plant Diversity and ReproductionIn this eighth lesson we will examine the Plant Kingdom. Topics will include the classification systems and plant reproduction. | Lesson 9: Plant Form and FunctionIn this ninth lesson we will examine the plant structure and function. Topics will include plant cells and tissue types, plant transport, various plant activities, lifecycles, and biotechnology and plants. | Lesson 10: Animal DiversityIn this tenth lesson we will now focus on the Animal Kingdom. Topics will include classifications, definitions, and animal phylums. | Lesson 11: Animal Form and FunctionIn this eleventh lesson we will
delve further into the structure and activities of animals including: nutrition, respiration, circulation, excretion, homeostasis, coordination of the chemical | nervous systems, motility and reproducti | Lesson 12: Ecology In this twelfth lesson we will conclude this course with a focus on the big picture that involves the study of Ecology.
