Exploring the Cell (Canvas.net)

Offered by Northwest Career Technical High School,
Exploring the Cell (Canvas.net)

With content based on Next Generation Science Standards, this course explores the properties of life through the cell.

Participants will explore:

  • The structure and role of DNA and components of the cell.
  • Basic macromolecules, chemical bonding, energy transformation, and the role of enzymes.
  • The relationships between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, along with cell division.

Sex from Molecules to Elephants (Coursera)

Sci: Biology & Life Sciences

Sexual reproduction can be defined as the sort of reproduction by which each organism arises from the fusion of two cells. This generally implies, with some exceptions, that each organism has two parents. This description might sound trivial it is however not at all. Before the appearance of sex, organisms reproduced solely by division. One cell divided into two cells, no partners, no fusion, just simple cell division.

Sci: Biology & Life Sciences Health & Society

In this course you will learn how evolution works. You will develop an understanding of evolutionary processes and their formative power. You will see how evolution has shaped biodiversity, and continuously influences our daily life. Evolution impacts human endeavors as varied as medicine, agriculture, psychology, economy, and culture. It is the major unifying principle for biology and a fundamental natural law.

Introduction to Systems Biology (Coursera)

Sci: Biology & Life Sciences Health & Society

This course will introduce the student to contemporary Systems Biology focused on mammalian cells, their constituents and their functions. Biology is moving from molecular to modular. As our knowledge of our genome and gene expression deepens and we develop lists of molecules (proteins, lipids, ions) involved in cellular processes, we need to understand how these molecules interact with each other to form modules that act as discrete functional systems.
