Objectives of the Course

Provide information on the subject of biology and history, to explain the basic building blocks of living things, to introduce the components of animal cells and animal cell division to explain the genetic structure of living things give information about metabolic events, such as photosynthesis and respiration to explain and give information about the mechanism, development and reproduction of animals with give information on animal tissues and organs to identify the animals to provide information about the basic categories.
