AP biology and prerequisite ( chemistry )

<p>I have question for the students or teachers in regards to the AP biology with or without doing chemistry before. Do you think, Chemistry course is needed for the sound knowledge before the taking AP biology or some one can take biology regular this year and next year dierectly to AP biology without doing regular chemistry.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for replying</p>

<p>At my school in order to take ANY AP science class (AP Physics, AP Environmental, AP Biology, and AP Chemistry) a student must take Biology and Chemistry. My school does this because there’s a little chemistry in all the AP science classes. Also they want the student to take biology and chemistry to let the student choose between AP Biology or AP Chemistry. AP science classes are only available for Juniors and Seniors. I’m a Sophomore right now and I doubled up on Biology and Chemistry (in Chemistry now) so I can take an AP science Junior year. You don’t have to take Chemistry if you don’t feel like you have to.</p>

<p>Well, you usually use chemistry in the AP bio labs. Sometimes you may have to do some titrations as well as stoichiometry. a</p>

<p>I’m taking AP Bio and chemistry concurrently and having absolutely no trouble.</p>

<p>you don’t need to take chemistry before ap bio. you can definitely learn the chemistry involved on your own, it’s not much and it’s very basic</p>

<p>I’m in AP Bio this year. I took chem last year but I don’t think it’s necessary for AP Bio.</p>

<p>Thank you so much, for giving feedback. I will appreciate few more feedbacks.</p>

<p>I’m taking AP bio along with chem h right now. I’d say that AP bio can be done pretty well without having an extensive knowledge in chemistry. As long as you have a very fundamental knowledge (electrons, protons, neutrons), then you should be fine. The bit of chemistry that does come up, if you don’t get it, can be googled.</p>
