Definition and Branches of Biology: Understanding the scope and importance of biology.
Characteristics of Living Things: Differentiating between living and non-living things based on characteristics such as movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, and nutrition.
Classification of Living Things: Basics of taxonomy, including the five kingdoms (Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia) and binomial nomenclature.
Cell Structure and Organization: Study of cell theory, types of cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic), and the structure and functions of cell organelles (nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, cell membrane, etc.).
Nutrition: Modes of nutrition (autotrophic and heterotrophic), photosynthesis, and human digestive system.
Transport in Living Things: Transport systems in plants (xylem and phloem) and animals (circulatory system in humans).
