Master the AP Biology curriculum -- from the chemistry of life and cell structure to genetics, evolution, and ecology. Aligned with College Board standards, with analogies and real experiments that make complex biology accessible.
Explore the chemical foundations of living systems — water's unique properties, the four macromolecules, and how enzymes speed up life's reactions. Reference: Campbell Biology (Urry et al., 12th ed., Pearson, 2021), Chapters 2-5.
Understand the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, explore key organelles, and learn how the cell membrane controls what enters and exits. Reference: Campbell Biology (Urry et al., 12th ed., Pearson, 2021), Chapters 6-7.
Understand how cells capture and use energy — from photosynthesis to cellular respiration to the central role of ATP. Reference: Campbell Biology (Urry et al., 12th ed., Pearson, 2021), Chapters 8-10.
Learn how cells send, receive, and respond to chemical signals — from signal transduction pathways to hormones and feedback loops. Reference: Campbell Biology (Urry et al., 12th ed., Pearson, 2021), Chapter 11.
Discover how traits are passed from parents to offspring — Mendel's laws, DNA replication, and how to predict inheritance with Punnett squares. Reference: Campbell Biology (Urry et al., 12th ed., Pearson, 2021), Chapters 13-15.
Understand how genes are read and turned into proteins — transcription, translation, mutations, and the emerging field of epigenetics. Reference: Campbell Biology (Urry et al., 12th ed., Pearson, 2021), Chapters 17-18.
Explore Darwin's theory, the evidence for evolution, mechanisms of speciation, and how Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes stable populations. Reference: Campbell Biology (Urry et al., 12th ed., Pearson, 2021), Chapters 22-25.
Explore how organisms interact with each other and their environment — populations, communities, ecosystems, and the challenges facing global biodiversity. Reference: Campbell Biology (Urry et al., 12th ed., Pearson, 2021), Chapters 52-56.
