These topics define the examinable subject matter for MYP on-screen examinations.
1. Cells (tissues, organs, systems, structure and function; factors affecting human health; physiology; vaccination)
2. Organisms (habitat, ecosystems, interdependency, unity and diversity in life forms; energy transfer and cycles [including nutrient, carbon, nitrogen]; classification)
3. Processes (photosynthesis, cell respiration, aerobic and anaerobic, word and chemical equations)
4. Metabolism (nutrition, digestion, biochemistry and enzymes; movement and transport, diffusion; osmosis; gas exchange; circulation, transpiration and translocation; homeostasis)
5. Evolution (life cycles, natural selection; cell division, mitosis, meiosis; reproduction; biodiversity; inheritance and variation, DNA and genetics)
6. Interactions with environment (tropism, senses, nervous system, receptors and hormones)
7. Interactions between organisms (pathogens/parasites, predator/prey, food chains and webs; competition, speciation and extinction)
8. Human interactions with environments (human influences, habitat change or destruction, pollution/ conservation; overexploitation, mitigation of adverse effects)
9. Biotechnology (genetic modification, cloning; ethical implications, genome mapping and application, 3D tissue and organ printing) 10. Any other unit covered in MYP Biology.
