List of content Biology MYP

• Cells (tissues, organs, systems, structure and function; factors affecting human health; physiology; vaccination)
• Organisms (habitat, ecosystems, interdependency, unity and diversity in life forms; energy transfer and cycles [including nutrient, carbon, nitrogen]; classification)
• Processes (photosynthesis, cell respiration, aerobic and anaerobic, word and chemical equations)
• Metabolism (nutrition, digestion, biochemistry and enzymes; movement and transport, diffusion; osmosis; gas exchange; circulation, transpiration and translocation; homeostasis)
• Evolution (life cycles, natural selection; cell division, mitosis, meiosis; reproduction; biodiversity; inheritance and variation, DNA and genetics)
• Interactions with environment (tropism, senses, nervous system, receptors and hormones)
• Interactions between organisms (pathogens/parasites, predator/prey, food chains/webs; competition, speciation and extinction)
• Human interactions with environments (human influences, habitat change or destruction, pollution/conservation; overexploitation, mitigation of adverse effects)
• Biotechnology (genetic modification, cloning; ethical implications, genome mapping and application, 3D tissue and organ printing)
