- Here's a brief note on
each of the topics I listed
earlier:
1. Introduction to Biology:
- Biology: study of life and
living organisms
- Branches: botany,
zoology, ecology, etc.
- Scientific method:
observation, hypothesis,
experimentation, conclusion
2. Cell Biology:
- Cell: basic structural and
functional unit of life
- Cell membrane: semi-
permeable, regulates what
enters/leaves
- Organelles: specialized
structures (mitochondria,
chloroplasts, etc.)
3. Genetics:
- Heredity: traits passed
from parents to offspring
- DNA: genetic material,
double helix structure
- Genes: units of heredity,
code for proteins
4. Evolution:
- Change in species over
time
- Mechanisms: natural
selection, genetic drift,
mutation, gene flow
- Evidence: fossil record,
comparative anatomy,
molecular biology
5. Diversity of Life:
- Classification: grouping
organisms based on
characteristics
- Taxonomy: naming and
categorizing organisms
- Prokaryotes: bacteria, no
nucleus
- Eukaryotes: plants,
animals, fungi, nucleus
6. Plant Biology:
- Plant structure: roots,
stems, leaves, etc.
- Photosynthesis: sunlight
→ energy
- Growth and
development: hormones,
tropisms
7. Animal Biology:
- Animal structure:
skeleton, muscles, etc.
- Nervous system: sensory
input, motor response
- Endocrine system:
hormones, regulation
8. Ecology:
- Study of interactions
between organisms and
environment
- Ecosystems:
communities + physical
environment
- Population dynamics:
growth, regulation,
extinction

ecology
8. Ecology:
- Introduction to ecology
- Ecosystems and
communities

conservation biology
This is not an exhaustive list,
but it covers some of the
main topics that may be
included in a 100-level
biology exam. However,
specific topics and emphasis
can vary depending on the
course and instructor. It's
always best to consult with
your instructor or refer to
your course materials for
specific exam details. Good
luck with your studies!
