Course Curriculum
The curriculum introduces the molecular foundations of life, progressing from basic biochemistry and cells to biomolecules, genetics, and metabolism. Each module develops understanding of a key area within the subject.
Begin with the foundations of biochemistry and its connection to biology and chemistry. Learners explore the role of chemical processes in living organisms and the importance of molecular interactions.
Explore cells as the basic units of living organisms. This section introduces cellular structures and the functions that allow cells to maintain and support life.
Learn about the chemical principles that form the foundation of many biological molecules. Learners explore organic compounds and their relevance to biological processes.
Examine the major classes of molecules found in living systems, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The section considers their structures and biological roles.
Explore proteins as essential biological molecules involved in structure, transport, regulation, and other cellular functions. Learners develop an understanding of protein structure and importance.
Study nucleic acids and their role in storing and transferring biological information. Learners explore DNA, RNA, and their importance within living cells.
Develop an introduction to genetics and the way biological information is inherited and expressed. The section connects genetic information with cellular and molecular processes.
Explore the chemical reactions that allow organisms to obtain and use energy. Learners examine metabolism as a collection of processes that support growth, maintenance, and normal biological function.
