Introduction

Biology, the study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment, is a fundamental

subject in high school. It provides students with essential knowledge about life processes,

ecosystems, genetic information, and the evolution of life forms.

High school biology typically begins with the study of the cell, the basic unit of life, including cell

structure, function, and energy transformations. Genetics, including Mendelian genetics, DNA

structure and function, and genetic engineering, is another core topic.
