How does Bio 2 compare to Bio 1

I got an A in bio 1 last year and I just wanted to know how bio 2 compares. I’ve heard some people say in a way it’s easier than bio 1 because it’s more focused and also more based on plants. What is covered in bio 2 and are the labs easier or harder and are they at least more interesting than Bio 1 labs (I hated the fly lab with a passion)? Also will the labs this term take the whole session? At the beginning of bio 1 we got out of lab early but as it went one they took the whole class time to complete.
