AP Biology 11

This course covers key topics that explain the structure, function, and continuity of life. Students explore biomolecules and how they form the foundation of living organisms; examine cell structures and functions, with a focus on membranes and the movement of materials across them; and study the principles of evolution and natural selection. The course also investigates DNA as the blueprint of living organisms, the stages of the cell cycle, and the mechanisms of heredity. In addition, students are introduced to biotechnology and its applications in modern science. This course is the first half of what is equivalent to a first-year university course, and so there is a large amount of content and ability to synthesize the material. Notes, readings, labs, activities, and projects are all involved with this course.
