Introduction
What have you gotten into with AP Biology? We'll discuss what you
can expect and how you can be successful. We'll also explore
the recurring themes of biology that are interwoven throughout the
course.
Chemistry of Life
Biology is fundamentally based on Chemistry, thus to understand Biology
we need to review your knowledge of chemical principles that govern the
structure and function of living organisms.

Cell Structure
The cell is the basic building block of organisms; whatever structure
and function a whole organism displays begins at the cellular level.

Cellular Reproduction & Heredity
It all began with a monk and his peas, and further explained by a man
and his Drosophila. They were able to provide the bridge from
cellular processes to an organism. How does an organism reproduce
and how does this provide a path to evolution?

Molecular Genetics: "The Central Dogma of Biology"
The
race to discover the molecular basis of inheritance was won in 1953 by
Watson & Crick with their discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic
acid. This language of life contains the code to direct the
development of an organism's chemical, anatomical, physiological and to
an extent behavioral characteristics.

Evolutionary Biology
The unifying principle of biology that explains the unity and diversity
of life. Darwin's theory provided biology with a strong,
scientific, testable foundation by demonstrating that diversity was a
result of natural causes instead of supernatural creation.

Diversity of organisms
The number of organisms that
inhabit the earth are astounding and to think that over 99% of them are
extinct! We'll explore the 3 domains and numerous phyla and examine their similarities
and differences. An emphasis will be placed on
Structure and
Function of Plants & Animals.
