Biology 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Course Number – 5300<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prerequisite<\/strong>\u00a0– Biology 11 or Biology 11 Honours.\u00a0 It is recommended that students taking this course be registered in or have completed Chemistry 11.<\/p>\n

Text<\/strong>\u00a0– Inquiry Into Life (Mader)<\/p>\n

Course Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biology 12 is an overview of human anatomy and physiology from the molecular level to the organ system level.\u00a0 The first part of the course focuses on cell structure and function and requires a solid understanding of chemistry.\u00a0 The second part covers basic human anatomy and physiology.\u00a0 The underlying theme of the course is homeostasis – the maintenance of a steady state within an organism.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Students are evaluated on regular homework assignments, laboratory activities as well as quizzes and tests. Quizzes and tests count for a greater proportion of the overall mark.
\nStudents with a strong personal interest in Biology as well as strong work and study habits will do well in the Biology courses.\u00a0 All Biology 12 students will write an in class final exam which counts for 10% of their final mark.Biology courses are challenging so students must be prepared to spend considerable time working outside of class. Students should expect to spend 30 \u2013 60 minutes previewing, reviewing, studying and completing homework assignments for each scheduled class. It is easy to fall behind in either of these courses so regular attendance is a requirement as well as regular studying.<\/div>\n
