Prescribed Learning Outcomes
Grade 12 Science - Cell Biology

To best help teachers incorporate our Educational Material and Articles into the classroom, we've organized our materials under the BC Prescribed Learning Outcomes.

If you have any feedback, we'd love to hear your thoughts: gened@genomebc.ca

Analyse the structure and function of biological molecules in living systems, including: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
