Cell Cycle
Cell Cycle is a crucial topic in FSC Biology and important for MDCAT and entry test preparation. The cell cycle is the series of events that a cell undergoes to grow and divide, ensuring proper replication and distribution of genetic material. It consists of interphase (G₁, S, and G₂ phases), where the cell grows and…

Chromosomes and DNA
Chromosomes and DNA is a fundamental topic in FSC Biology and crucial for MDCAT and entry test preparation. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the genetic material that stores the instructions for the growth, development, and functioning of all living organisms. It is organized into chromosomes, which are thread-like structures found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.…

Growth and Development
Growth and Development is an important topic in FSC Biology and highly relevant for MDCAT and entry test preparation. Growth refers to the increase in size, mass, or number of cells in an organism, while development involves the progressive differentiation and maturation of cells, tissues, and organs to achieve a fully functional organism. In plants,…

Reproduction
Reproduction is a key topic in FSC Biology and crucial for MDCAT and entry test preparation. It is the biological process by which organisms produce new individuals, ensuring the continuity of species. Reproduction can be asexual, involving a single parent and producing genetically identical offspring, or sexual, involving two parents and resulting in genetically diverse…

Coordination and Control
Coordination and Control is a vital topic in FSC Biology and essential for MDCAT and entry test preparation. It refers to the mechanisms by which organisms regulate and integrate their body functions to respond to internal and external stimuli. In animals, coordination is achieved through the nervous system, which transmits signals via neurons, and the…

Support and Movement
Support and Movement is an important topic in FSC Biology and a key part of MDCAT and entry test preparation. Support refers to the structural systems in organisms that maintain shape and protect internal organs, such as the skeleton in animals and cell walls in plants. Movement involves muscles, joints, and specialized structures in animals,…

Homeostasis
Homeostasis is a vital topic in FSC Biology and essential for MDCAT and entry test preparation. It refers to the regulation and maintenance of a stable internal environment within an organism despite external changes. Key aspects include temperature regulation, blood sugar levels, water balance, and pH control, which are maintained through the coordinated action of…

Transport
Transport is a fundamental topic in FSC Biology and essential for MDCAT and entry test preparation. It refers to the movement of water, minerals, and nutrients within an organism to sustain life and maintain homeostasis. In plants, transport occurs through xylem (water and mineral conduction) and phloem (food conduction), while in animals, the circulatory system…

Gaseous Exchange
Gaseous Exchange is a crucial topic in FSC Biology and important for MDCAT and entry test preparation. It is the process by which organisms take in oxygen (O₂) for respiration and release carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a waste product. In humans, gaseous exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs, where oxygen diffuses into the…

Nutrition
Nutrition is an essential topic in FSC Biology and a key part of MDCAT and entry test preparation. Nutrition is the process by which living organisms obtain food and nutrients to sustain life, support growth, and provide energy. It can be classified into autotrophic nutrition, where organisms like plants produce their own food via photosynthesis,…
