Biochemistry
The Biochemistry Cycle of Study is designed to give you an understanding of how the building blocks of life work. Matter is made of atoms and once you understand how these atoms behave, you can start to unlock the larger developments of life like proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids.
Cellular Biology
This Cycle focuses on the smallest unit of life - the cell. Cellular structure is explored beginning with the cell membrane and the transport of molecules across this border. We then learn how the cell performs its many functions using its “tiny organs” or organelles. We end focusing on how cells are made for growth and repair.
Molecular Biology
This Cycle examines the interactions of biomolecules and the principles of inheritance. We explore DNA, explain how the cell makes proteins, and gain an understanding into how genetic traits are passed to offspring. We finish with a look at the exciting field of biotechnology.
Organismal Biology
The Organismal Biology Cycle of Study is a brief introduction to how the smaller parts of the body affect an organism as a whole, and how to navigate around the human body using proper medical terms. In addition, the important concept of homeostasis is revisited in this Cycle.
