The course content includes exploration of biological molecules, cells, organism-environment interaction, genetic information, energy transfers in organisms, organism response to changes, genetics, evolution, ecosystems, and control of gene expression.

Course Content:

1. Biological molecules: This unit delves into the common compounds that comprise all living cells, like carbohydrates, enzymes, and proteins. It unravels the interactions and roles of these biological molecules in sustaining life.

2. Cells: Discover the common features shared by all life forms, such as cell origin, composition, and intercellular communication. This module also addresses the role of cellular interaction in diseases and the immune system response.

3. Organisms exchange substances with their environment: This section explores how cells exchange substances across plasma membranes and transport them within the body or their environment.

4. Genetic information, variation, and relationships between organisms: Gain insights into biological diversity and its genetic and environmental causes. Learn about DNA sequences, genetic variation, and the role of natural selection.

5. Energy transfers in and between organisms: This module delves into energy transfer processes, including respiration and photosynthesis, in a variety of organisms like plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi.

6. Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments: Understand how organisms respond to stimuli through electrical impulses in nerve cells and the release of chemical messengers.

7. Genetics, populations, evolution, and ecosystems: This unit addresses the theory of evolution, explaining the emergence of new species from existing ones due to genetic and environmental factors like natural selection.

8. The control of gene expression: Learn about the factors influencing gene expression, including external environmental factors, and explore the ongoing research in altering gene expression for medical purposes.
