Welcome to the Second Semester of AP Biology!

You are mid-way through a rich learning experience that will fascinate and challenge you AND, most importantly, change the way you think about life on earth. It will never be the same once you've taken AP Biology. You may look at a grapefruit and suddenly find yourself curious about whether you can observe cells in the juicy fruit. Or, perhaps you'll listen a bit more carefully when you hear a news report about a new strain of //e. coli// that has stricken citizens in Europe. No matter what, a deeper understanding of biology will change the way you look at the world around you.
