This elective is designed for the junior or senior science student who may be interested in a career in a biology related field such as research, nursing, X ray technician, or phlebotomist. The first part of this course deals with molecular biology, a rapidly expanding field that explores cellular processes at the molecular level. Content in this course will include how the genetic information contained in DNA is used to create and maintain functioning cells. It will also explore the biochemistry of how cells provide the energy needed for these processes. In the second part of this course, students will be expected to do lab work dealing with the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Students should expect extensive microscope work and labs. Independent and small group study will help prepare the student for his/her college experience. Pre-requisites for this course include successful completion of biology and/or the recommendation of the student’s biology teacher.
