The AP Biology course is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes, energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions.
The AP Biology course is organized into commonly taught units of study that provide a suggested sequence for the course. These units comprise the content and skills colleges and universities typically expect students to master to qualify for college credit and/or placement. This content is grounded in big ideas, which are crosscutting concepts that build conceptual understanding and spiral throughout the course. Following are the big ideas of the course and a brief description of each:
Evolution: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life.
Energetics: Biological systems use energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and maintain dynamic homeostasis.
Information Storage and Transmission: Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes.
Systems Interactions: Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions exhibit complex properties.
