Dr.Samreen_About this course
This course prepares students for the Cambridge O Level Biology examination (Syllabus 5090). Students will explore the living world — from the structure of cells to the complexity of ecosystems. Topics include cell biology, nutrition, transport, respiration, excretion, reproduction, genetics, and ecology. The course develops scientific observation, experimental skills, and the ability to apply biological concepts to health, environment, and everyday life. Ideal for students in Grades 9–10 planning to pursue medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, or biological sciences.
