Concepts of Biology
In this course, you will learn about Concepts of Biology. Biology is the study of life. Like all the sciences, biology has its own dynamics. Those dynamics have a variety from the smallest unit “atom” to the largest one, “the biosphere”. In this course we maintain the information in a hierarchical manner, so that they can be understood easily and in the most effective way.
The course represents an important opportunity for students to develop the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to make informed decisions as they continue with their lives.
By the end of this course the participants will be able to:
- Know about the properties and diversity of life
- See the details in things through chemical and biological perceptions
- Tell a lot about the cell dynamics
- Understand the main and real causes of illnesses
Each participant will get a Certificate of Participation. Those who finish the course with a result of 70 points will be awareded a Certificate of Successful Completion of Exam.
