Unit 1: Cells This unit covers cell theory, prokaryotic and eukaryotic structure and function, membrane structure and function, and cellular reproduction.

Unit 2: Molecules This unit covers the molecular basis of life, including atomic and molecular structure, the structure and function of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and enzymes, and DNA.

Unit 3: DNA This unit covers the structure and function of DNA, including replication, transcription and its control, and translation and its control.

Unit 4: Energetics This unit covers the structures and functions of cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

Unit 5: Meiosis This unit covers meiosis and simple genetic patterns, including monohybrid crosses, test crosses, sex-linked inheritance, and incomplete dominance.

Unit 6: Genetics This unit covers more complex genetic patterns, including dihybrid crosses, gene linkage, polygenetic inheritance, environmental influences on phenotype, and genetic engineering.

Unit 7: Reproduction This unit covers the human reproductive system, including hormonal control of male and female production of gametes, fertilization, development, and birth and contraception.

Unit 8: Botany This unit covers plant science, including structure and function, transport of water and minerals, translocation of photosynthetic products, flowering plant reproduction and seed germination.

Unit 9: Ecology This unit covers ecosystems, populations, evolution, classification, and human impact on the environment.

Group 4 Project The Group 4 Project is an interdisciplinary and collaborative project involving IB students in biology, chemistry and physics. Students plan experiments, collect and process data, and make presentations of their findings.
