Unit 1: Introduction to Biology, Chemistry and Cells
Welcome to Unit 1
Unit 1 is about building foundations for your study of Biology. In this unit we will cover fundamental principles of life (what is it? how are living things different from non-living things?) as well as some necessary chemistry basics (including atomic structure, bonding and polarity). Next we dive into the molecules of cells - organic molecules like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleotides. FINALLY we get to cells - the fundamental unit of life!
