Biology Books

Learning biology is fun, this is a book to learn basic biology

The Offline Biology Book application is an introductory course for one semester. This biology course book introduces students to the scientific study of living organisms. Students will investigate biological concepts including basic chemistry of life, cell structure and function, metabolism, reproduction, genetics, evolution, biological diversity and classification, plant structure and function, animal structure and function and ecology.

Biology, study of living things and their vital processes. The field deals with all the physicochemical aspects of life. The modern tendency toward cross-disciplinary research and the unification of scientific knowledge and investigation from different fields has, in significant overlap of the field of biology with other scientific disciplines. Modern principles of other fields—chemistry, medicine, and physics, for example—are integrated with those of biology in areas such as biochemistry, biomedicine, and biophysics.

Biology is subdivided into separate branches for convenience of study, though all the subdivisions are interrelated by basic principles. Thus, while it is custom to separate the study of plants (botany) from that of animals (zoology), and the study of the structure of organisms (morphology) from that of function (physiology), all living things share in common certain biological phenomena—for example, various means of reproduction, cell division, and the transmission of genetic material.

Biology is often approached on the basis of levels that deal with fundamental units of life. At the level of molecular biology, for example, life is regarded as a manifestation of chemical and energy transformations that occur among the many chemical constituents that compose an organism. As a result of the development of increasing powerful and precise laboratory instruments and techniques, it is possible to understand and define with high precision and accuracy not only the ultimate physiochemical organization (ultrastructure) of the molecules in living matter but also the way living matter reproduces at the molecular level.

Course Competencies

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

Identify in the correct order the steps of the scientific method.

Arrange the levels of biological organization from least complex to most complex.

Differentiate between a scientifically valid question, hypothesis and prediction.

Differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning with respect to their use in scientific investigation.

Explain how DNA accounts for both the diversity and unity of life on Earth.

Relate the process of natural selection to evolutionary adaptation in populations of organisms.

Relate the structure and function of living organisms to their chemical base.

Identify the structural and functional differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Predict the effect of solutions with different tonicities on plant and animal cells.

Relate the role of enzymes in biochemical pathways and cellular metabolism.

Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration contribute to the cycling of carbon atoms on Earth.

Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis.

Relate the process of mitosis to asexual reproduction, growth, tissue repair and cancer.

Describe how meiosis and sexual reproduction contribute to genetic variation in species.

Explain the chromosomal basis for inheritance.

Relate the role of DNA and RNA to gene expression.

Interpret how the genetic code on DNA directs protein synthesis.

and other biological theories.
