Science. AP®︎/College Biology. Unit 1: Chemistry of life. 500 possible mastery points. Mastered. Proficient. Familiar. Attempted. Not started. Quiz. Unit test. About this unit. In this unit, we'll explore the foundations of life itself, learning about macromolecules from proteins to nucleic acids.
In this course you’ll explore the amazing world of biology through topics like biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology. To make sure you’re prepared with the fundamentals, we recommend completing high school biology before diving into AP Biology.
At the heart of this subject are two important concepts: 1) all cellular structures have energetic costs composed of different components that should be properly defined and evaluated; and 2) the energetic costs and benefits of these cellular structures can translate into fitness differences that influence long-term evolutionary trajectories.
Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Enduring Understanding 2.A Growth, reproduction and maintenance of living systems require free energy and matter.
AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore topics like evolution, energetics, information storage and transfer, and system interactions.
Connection for AP ® Courses The cell cycle describes an orderly sequence of events that are highly regulated. In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of a long preparatory period (interphase) followed by mitosis and cytokinesis.
18 gru 2016 · Resources for this Standard. Living systems are organized in a hierarchy of structural levels that interact. Explain how subcellular components and organelles contribute to the function of the cell. Describe the structural features of a cell that allow organisms to capture, store, and use energy.
