This lab science course focuses on the biology of organisms including structure and function, nutrition, life cycles, and ecological relationships; and the origin and evolution of life. Topics to be covered include taxonomy, the diversity of life forms from the microbes to the animals, the structures and functions of fungal, plant, and animal systems, as well as ecology, ecosystems and evolution.

Cell structures like mitochondria, cytoplasm, the endoplasmic reticulum, centrosomes, and the nucleus all play specific roles in the life and functioning of a cell.
