About This Course
In this course students will explore the intricate world of ecosystems and cellular biology. They’ll learn how human activities shape the environment, impacting resource competition among species, and understand the dynamic nature of ecosystems. Students will discover that all living things are made of cells, which are the basic units of life, and how cells divide for growth and reproduction. They’ll delve into the roles of different cell structures in plants and animals, understanding how cells, tissues, and organs work together to maintain life and internal stability. Through models and explanations, they’ll uncover the cycling of matter and flow of energy in ecosystems, the process of photosynthesis in plants, and organisms with their environment. This engaging journey will highlight the profound connections between all living and nonliving components of our world. Get ready to uncover the hidden stories of our biosphere and the cellular processes that sustain life!
