Basic Biology

Sub Sections: — Botany — Evolution — Genetics — Metabolism — The Cell

Basic biology is the founding core of life sciences. It studies the fundamental principles that regulate biological systems, starting from the structure and function of cells, through biomolecules, mechanisms of transmission of genetic information, metabolic processes, and interactions between organisms and the environment.

This section is dedicated to the in-depth study of key concepts such as:

  • Structure and function of biological macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates);
  • Cellular organization and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells;
  • Replication, transcription, and translation of genetic information;
  • Regulation of gene expression and cell signaling;
  • Principles of bioenergetics and primary metabolism;

Life cycles and mechanisms of reproduction. Understanding these topics is essential for more advanced disciplines such as genetics, physiology, microbiology, and biotechnology. The goal is to provide a coherent and integrated vision of the fundamental biological processes common to all living beings.
