​Course Description:

Welcome to Biology! In this class, you will study the vital processes of life: the structure of living things, metabolism, and dynamics between and among organisms. Additionally, we will analyze the important roles of living organisms in maintaining the ecosystem's stability and the negative impact of our footprint in this world. 

You should expect that there will be lots of reading, knowing biological terms, and some experiments so that we will understand the scientific meaning of life to continue the survival of our species.
