Colegio Las Cumbres outlines the content schedule for their senior biology class for the school year. The schedule is divided into three trimesters covering topics in [1] human physiology, [2] flowering plants, and [3] organisms and their environment. Some of the key areas to be covered include the nervous system, endocrine system, homeostasis, reproduction, genetics, photosynthesis, ecology, and human impacts on the environment. The class will examine these topics at both the structural and functional levels.
This slideshare gives the detailed description of the characteristics a living organism exhibits and detalied description of all these living characteristics.

The theory of evolution, one of the fundamental keystones of modern biological theory, examines the way in which such changes unfold. Heredity describes the biological processes by which certain characteristics are transmitted from parents to their offspring.
