GED® Science: Microbiology, Viruses & Disease

Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists are everywhere — and understanding them is key to the Life Science portion of the GED® Science test. This course walks through the structure and behavior of microorganisms, how viruses hijack cells to replicate, how the human immune system fights back, and the difference between infectious and non-infectious disease. You will also learn how antibiotics and vaccines work, and how to read epidemiological graphs and data tables — exactly the reasoning skills the GED® Science test rewards.
