This course covers the material that is taught in a one-year general biology college course, the Biology CLEP™ exam draws from the three major areas of biological studies: molecular & cellular biology, organismal biology, and population biology.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”15854″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

• Knowledge of the facts, principles, and processes of biology
• Knowledge of the basic scientific process:  how information is collected, how it is interpreted, how to develop hypotheses from known information, how study leads to conclusions, and how to make further predictions
• Scientific study is a human undertaking with social consequences

Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development, and evolution.  Despite the complexity of the science, certain unifying concepts consolidate it into a single, coherent field. Biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine that propels the creation and extinction of species. Living organisms are open systems that survive by transforming energy and decreasing their local entropy to maintain a stable and vital condition defined as homeostasis.*
