Item 1 -. Introduction to Biology.
• Systematic thinking. The scientific method (the strength of the experimental evidence).
• Levels of biological organization
• The unit of life. The cell theory.
• The nature of biological research.
• Water, bioelements and biomolecules.
Item 2 -. Structure and functions of cells.
• Limits of the cells: membrane walls.
• Prokaryotes and eukaryotes: the nucleus.
• The interior of the cell (organelles).
• Interaction between cells.
• Plant and animal Histology.
• Introduction to bioenergetics and metabolism. Enzymes. Photosynthesis and respiration.
Item 3 -. Principles of inheritance and cellular reproduction.
• Cell reproduction: mitosis, meiosis, sexual reproduction, variability. Inheritance.
• Life cycles.
• Expression and gene control: Replication, transcription, translation, and the gene expression control.
• The execution of a genetic program: development.
Item 4 -. Evolution and Biodiversity.
• The origin of life on Earth
• Generation of diversity and natural selection.
• Classification of animal and vegetable organisms. Acellular forms.
• Domains and Kingdoms: diversification of life.
• Genetic basis of the evolutionary process. Speciation. Relationships between species. Symbiosis.
Item 5 -. Common challenges of multicellular organisms adapted to the terrestrial environment.
• Growth and development.
• Conservation of water and solute balance.
• Internal transport.
• Maintenance of the internal environment (homeostasis). Regulation and functioning in animals and plants.
• The perception of changes in the environment and resources and responses to threats.
• Coordination in multicellular organisms.
• Reproduction.
Item 6 -. Implications of plants and animals in agricultural production and the environment.
