D849 General Biology I (BIOL 1010, 3 CUs in the August 2026 WGU catalog) is the biology foundation of 10 WGU education program tables: how living organisms use energy, grow, reproduce, stay stable, and evolve, placed in term 3 of the eight secondary science education degrees and term 5 of the two secondary mathematics education degrees. Coursework Ninja completes D849 done-for-you. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, D849 is a foundational introduction to the biological sciences. The course explores the overarching theories of life from biological research as well as the fundamental concepts and principles of the study of living organisms and their interaction with the environment. The description names the key concepts: how living organisms use and produce energy, how life grows, develops, and reproduces, how life responds to the environment to maintain internal stability, and how life evolves and adapts to the environment.
Ten catalog program tables carry it, all in the education school. The eight secondary science education bachelor's degrees (the four B.S. Science Education licensure tracks in biological science, chemistry, earth science, and physics, plus the four B.A. Educational Studies versions) place it in term 3, and the B.S. Mathematics Education (Secondary) and its B.A. Educational Studies counterpart place it in term 5. The eight science education tables attach the separate 1-CU D850 General Biology I Lab in the same term; the mathematics education tables carry no biology lab. For future physics, chemistry, and math teachers, D849 is the broad-science base under a license in a different subject, which is exactly why it keeps getting bumped for the major's own courses.

Coverage
What D849 completion covers
The D849 assessment
The completion covers the course's scored assessment. WGU does not publish formats in the catalog; student communities report an objective assessment for D849. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the quote covers whichever assessment D849 carries.
Energy in living systems
How living organisms use and produce energy, the description's first concept block: the cellular respiration and photosynthesis core that every later topic assumes. Scored questions trace energy through a system, so vocabulary-only study stalls here.
Growth, development, and reproduction
The description's second block: how life grows, develops, and reproduces, from cell division through organism life cycles. This is the most memorization-friendly block, and it rewards students who can connect the stages instead of reciting them.
Stability, evolution, and adaptation
How life responds to the environment to maintain internal stability, and how life evolves and adapts to the environment, the description's closing pair. The scored scenarios give an organism or a population a changed environment and ask for the mechanism, which is where one-word answers fail.
The D850 lab pairing
In the eight science education degrees, D849 travels with the separate 1-CU D850 General Biology I Lab in the same term, with its own scored scientific-investigation work built around hypothesis-driven experiments and lab reports. We sequence lecture and lab together so one credit never holds the term open.
Full degree plan integration
D849 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in any of the 10 programs it folds into the flat bachelor's package at $3,000, every remaining CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.

D849's stall pattern is the future physics or math teacher postponing a biology course because it feels outside the major. These are the stalls we take over most often.
Physics, chemistry, and math education students postponing biology because the major's own courses always outrank it.
Ten-year-old high school biology meeting the cellular energy block, where the vocabulary has quietly changed.
Homeostasis questions answered with one word when the scored scenario asks for the mechanism.
Evolution studied as a definition list instead of a mechanism applied to a population.
The paired D850 lab left unfinished after the lecture course clears, holding the term for one credit.

Questions, answered
Per the August 2026 WGU institutional catalog, General Biology I (BIOL 1010, 3 CUs) is a foundational introduction to the biological sciences, exploring the overarching theories of life from biological research and the fundamental concepts and principles of living organisms and their interaction with the environment. Key concepts include how living organisms use and produce energy, how life grows, develops, and reproduces, how life responds to the environment to maintain internal stability, and how life evolves and adapts to the environment.
Per the current catalog, 10 education program tables: term 3 for the eight secondary science education bachelor's degrees (the B.S. Science Education tracks in biological science, chemistry, earth science, and physics, plus the four B.A. Educational Studies versions of the same subjects), and term 5 for the B.S. Mathematics Education (Secondary) and the B.A. Educational Studies in Secondary Mathematics Education.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities report an objective assessment for D849. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
The eight secondary science education degrees pair D849 with the separate 1-CU D850 General Biology I Lab (BIOL 1011) in the same term per the catalog. The secondary mathematics education degrees carry no biology lab. We sequence whichever pairing your program table shows so the lab never holds the term open alone.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. If D849 is one row on a longer remaining list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan.
