his course introduces the fundamental chemical and cellular basis of life. It explores the structure, properties, and functions of key biological molecules, including water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, and explains how these molecules interact to sustain life processes. The course also examines the structure and function of cells, covering both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, cellular organelles, membrane dynamics, and basic metabolic processes.
By the end of the course, students will develop a foundational understanding of how biomolecules contribute to cellular organization and function, providing essential knowledge for further studies in biology, ecology, and related life sciences.
