Unit 1: The Chemistry of Life. Our opening unit introduces students to the sciences, including the scientific technique and the elemental ideas of chemistry and physics that provide a framework inside which learners comprehend organic processes.

Unit 2: The Cell. Students will gain strong understanding of the structures, features, and processes of probably the most primary unit of life: the cell.

Unit 3: Genetics. Our complete genetics unit takes learners from the earliest experiments that exposed the premise of genetics through the intricacies of DNA to present functions in the rising studies of biotechnology and genomics.

Unit 4: Evolutionary Processes. The core concepts of evolution are mentioned on this unit with examples illustrating evolutionary processes. Additionally, the evolutionary foundation of biology reappears all through the textbook normally discussion and is reinforced through special call-out features highlighting particular evolution-based subjects.

Unit 5: Biological Diversity. The variety of life is explored with detailed examine of varied organisms and dialogue of rising phylogenetic relationships. This unit strikes from viruses to dwelling organisms like bacteria, discusses the organisms previously grouped as protists, and devotes multiple chapters to plant and animal life.

Unit 6: Plant Structure and Function. Our plant unit totally covers the elemental information of plants important to an introductory biology course.

Unit 7: Animal Structure and Function. An introduction to the shape and performance of the animal physique is followed by chapters on particular body techniques and processes. This unit touches on the biology of all organisms whereas maintaining an enticing give consideration to human anatomy and physiology that helps students connect with the topics.
