Biology is defined as the study of life and living organisms. Subtopics such as botany, anatomy, physiology, and molecular biology all fall under this broad umbrella of the study itself. Aspects of studying biology range from the molecular mechanisms in cells, the classifications of species, and even how species interact with different ecosystems.

How will the study of biology help me in my everyday life?

You don’t need to be a PhD Candidate, a doctor, or even a lab scientist to utilize biology in everyday life - biology is all around us!

We are all living within an ecosystem. In relation to food and how a human acquires their supply, we can look at plants. Plants are a producer of food for both humans and animals alike. For livestock or poultry that one might consume, certain grains or plants are better nourishment than others. Another example is our morning cup of coffee. Coffee comes from coffee tree seeds and the main biologically active ingredients in coffee are caffeine (which is a stimulant) and a suite of antioxidants. What do we know about how caffeine and antioxidants affect our bodies? Well, by learning more about biology we can understand these processes and more!

Learning biology in Kelowna, you can understand why you cough, how your body’s white blood cells reject foreign substances that are seen as threatening, and how exactly the common cold functions.

There are so many fascinating aspects of our world, especially in everyday life, that are influenced or caused by biology.

How many hours should I study for biology?

Depending on your course or program of study in Kelowna, how many hours you should study is dependent on several things: your understanding of biology, your plans to use biology in future courses or degrees, and what results you would like from your biology course itself.

It is recommended that with any science, to make learning the content a part of your daily learning routine. Not only does that mean being prepared for class, but reviewing what you’ve learned in class afterwards, too. It is helpful to learn individual concepts to a deep understanding first, before moving on and combining them with other concepts you may have gathered in class. Testing yourself and your knowledge on biology frequently is a sure way to measure your comprehension on the topics covered.

If you’re studying at an early university level, a good rule of thumb is that 1 point of credit towards your degree will require roughly 10 hours of study. Some of that will be what you’re formally taught and some will be self-guided instruction such as reading, reflection, and one on one personal tutoring.
