UNIT 1: Cells and Biomolecules (Biology) (1 credit 1 !ours)

S"N#$SIS

Size can be used to determine the various levels of organization, three of which molecular, cellular and tissue organization. This information is the fundamental to aproper understanding of Biology as the ideas and concepts covered are the basicbuilding blocks from which the rest of the subject is constructed.This unit discusses the structure of cells and organelles and the basic chemistry of acell. t covers the structure of a generalized eukaryotic cells of plants and animal cells aswell as the structure and function of specialized cells of both animal and plant cells. t

also discussed physical and chemical properties and physiological role of bimolecularsubstances and movement of substances through membrane.

S"N#$SIS

This unit will develop students@ e&perimental skills and understanding of scientificmethods. t is hoped that through practical works, skills such as handling ofapparatus, planning of e&perimental works, making observations, interpretationof results and making inferences can facilitate the understanding of the dynamicand e&citing nature of science. n the process, an awareness of the ethical,technological and economic aspects of the subject can be created.

6ach practical work should be accomplished within a hours period inclusive of thereport write up by students under partial supervision of the teacher. The suggestede&periments for +ractical science ' are adopted from that of ST+/ +ractical Biology,hemistry and +hysics. There are e&periments to be carried out in this semestercomprising of one practical each from Biology, hemistry and +hysics respectively
