BIO 100 - The Living World

Can we find life elsewhere in the Universe? This is one of the big questions at the forefront of scientific endeavor. It compels us to explore our celestial neighborhood, searching for signs of life in the Solar System and Earth-like planets beyond. In The Living World, you will learn about the search for life as you master concepts in general biology, including key aspects of biodiversity, evolution, cellular biology, molecular biology, ecology, and human anatomy and physiology.

Course prerequisites and requirements

To be successful in this course, we recommend English language fluency and computer literacy. We also encourage you to make sure your laptop or desktop computer meets the technical requirements .

  • Cost:  $25 + $400

What you’ll learn

  • Evolution: The diversity of life changed and diversified over time by processes of mutation, selection, and isolation
  • Structure and Function: Basic units of structure establish the function of all living things
  • Information Flow, Exchange, and Storage: The macro and microscopic features of organisms result from the expression of genetic information in context
  • Pathways of Energy and Matter: Biological systems are built and maintained by chemical transformation pathways that are governed by the laws of thermodynamics
  • Biological Systems: Living systems are interconnected and interacting
  • Nature of Science: Science proceeds by developing and testing explanations for patterns observed in nature

What to expect in class

The Living World is an innovative course with a format different from most online courses. It is built around interactive activities with rich adaptive feedback. These are not videos or simple readings and quizzes. Usually they are problem-solving activities through which you will be introduced to key concepts, and master them, in a question-driven 'learn-by-doing' approach. Often they will be designed around game-like simulations that you can manipulate, or virtual field trips that you can explore. In some ways, these activities can feel like a serious game! That's not an accident: that's in fact how the pursuit of science feels to professional scientists.

All activities and assessments occur within the interactive BioBeyond Learnspace, which includes modules and associated point values.

What is biology.

Biology is the study of life. This includes all living organisms from the simplest to the most complex. The anatomy, development, chemical characteristics, genetics, and evolution of a species are all part of the science of biology. And there are many biology subdisciplines, including biochemistry, genomics, physiology, ecology, and medicine.

Stand out in your field, learn at your own pace, earn a valuable credential,  biology course curriculum.

The study of biology starts with the cell, the basic building block of any living organism. Understanding the structure, function, and life cycle of a cell is fundamental to the study of all biological sciences. Building a strong foundational knowledge of cellular biology may help learners branch out into different biological areas or specializations. 

For learners at the beginner level, an introductory biology course may cover:

Genotypes and phenotypes

Enzyme function and regulations

Cell structure and function

Protein synthesis

Bodily systems

Learn how to use molecular tools to study biology, how to describe the building blocks of life, and how their interactions dictate structure and function in biology. Explore the mysteries of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology with more advanced courses that delve deeper into specialized topics.

Jobs in biology

An interest in biology can take learners down many career paths. Individuals can focus on plants, animals, or humans in careers that span all types of industries. 

Potential careers that use biology include:

Doctor or nurse

Medical researcher

Epidemiologist

Sociologist

Whether you see yourself working in a hospital helping patients or studying plants and animals in the jungle, learning biology can set you down an exciting new career path. Start your learning journey today.

Course Motivation

By definition, biology is the science of life or living matter in all its many forms and phenomena. It takes a look at issues like the origins of life, growth and development, reproduction and structure.

Biology is further broken down into many different specialized fields, like microbiology, cellular biology, etc.

Its also served as the arena for a great deal of controversy and debate such as Darwinism vs. Intelligent Design and the like.

Unfortunately, the " science " of it has the potential to scare some people away. Admittedly, being such a huge branch of science, it has the potential to be intimidating. However, if you can break biology down to its basics, and use that as a solid foundation on which to build upon, you'll never have to cower in confusion again!

Enrollment's always open and the materials and lessons are available 24/7.

Biology 101 is an ideal course for college and pre-college students looking for a logical and easy to understand class in a self-paced learning environment. This course is additionally strengthened by integrating clear, well written text, a host of diagrams and pictures, critical thinking assignments and comprehensive lesson reviews and exams for each lesson.

Of course, high school and college students aren't the only people who stand to benefit from this course. Successful completion doesn't require any previous medical or scientific background. In fact, anyone over the age of 13 years is encouraged to enroll.

You'll begin with an introduction to the science of biology and progress through the related chemistry, studying cells, taking a look at the science of genetics and the principles of evolution, plant life, animal life and the delicate system of ecology.

Even better, you won't have to spend an arm and a leg on textbooks or other materials. This class was designed as a stand-alone platform which covers all the major concepts of biology. Everything that you'll need in order to succeed is provided for you immediately upon enrollment. So, not only will you save time in the self-paced environment, you'll also be able to save money as well.

Grades are awarded based on your performance on each of the lessons multiple choice and true or false quizzes (which are worth between 20 and 25 points each). A few lessons will also include a short assignment that is based on lesson facts and opinions that were expressed. You'll need to maintain an average grade of 70% throughout the class in order for successful course completion.

By the time the class is over, you'll have gained a solid and clear understanding of the very science of our existence. You will be well equipped to further your studies in other scientific arenas as well.

While traditional classroom settings demand that you wait for a new quarter or semester to enroll, those delays are moot here. Class enrollment is open and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so there is no reason you can't act now to gain a competitive edge at school or in the workplace.
