Eleven topics, from molecules to ecosystems
- Cell BiologyMembranes, organelles, the cytoskeleton, cell signaling, and the cell cycle.
- Molecular BiologyDNA replication, transcription, translation, gene regulation, and lab techniques.
- GeneticsMendelian inheritance, linkage and mapping, pedigrees, non-Mendelian patterns, and population genetics.
- BiochemistryMacromolecules, enzymes and kinetics, bioenergetics, cellular respiration, and photosynthesis.
- EvolutionNatural selection, drift, speciation, phylogenetics, and the history and diversity of life.
- EcologyPopulation growth, species interactions, communities, ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycles.
- PhysiologyHomeostasis and the major human organ systems: nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, renal, digestive, and immune.
- Plant BiologyPlant structure, water and sugar transport, plant hormones, reproduction, and responses to the environment.
- Animal BiologyComparative anatomy and physiology across animal groups, development, and reproduction.
- BehaviorEthology: innate and learned behavior, communication, foraging, and the evolution of social behavior.
- Experimental Design & Data AnalysisHypotheses, controls, variables, graphs, basic statistics, and drawing conclusions the data actually support.
