Download or read book The Fundamentals of Biology written by Wiley Liou and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fundamentals of Biology is a study guide geared towards late middle and early high school students hoping to learn more about the world around us. Whether it be used for test preparation or for satisfying one's curiosity, this book will provide an outline of how life functions. Starting at the molecular level, The Fundamentals of Biology will explain concisely how seemingly minuscule things can have a massive impact on a larger scale. Each unit of this book will have several topics within them, organized in a way to help the reader understand connections between concepts. The seven major ideas covered are as follows: Chemistry- In order to see what makes life tick, the reader will learn the essential molecules their interactions; The Cell- As the basic building block of life, their complex structure and functions will be explained; Cell Processes- This includes the basics of photosynthesis, cell respiration, as well as cell division; Heredity and Genetics- How information is passed from one generation to another is detailed in this topic; Body Systems- The wide array of human body systems are covered here, from the skeletal to the endocrine; Taxonomy- All living things are organized into groups based on similar traits and are outlined in this book; Evolution and Ecology- This topic covers how species change over time and their interactions with the environment. Scattered around the book are helpful tips to assist in the memorization of concepts, small pieces of information that are interesting and provides context, as well as suggestions on what the reader can do to experience certain concepts. In addition, pictures and diagrams are embedded within the book to give a visual perspective on specific ideas, and at the end of each topic is a vocabulary list to aid in the learning process.
Download or read book Fundamentals of Systems Biology written by Markus W. Covert and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades biology has focused on decoding cellular processes one gene at a time, but many of the most pressing biological questions, as well as diseases such as cancer and heart disease, are related to complex systems involving the interaction of hundreds, or even thousands, of gene products and other factors. How do we begin to understand this complexity? Fundamentals of Systems Biology: From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models introduces students to methods they can use to tackle complex systems head-on, carefully walking them through studies that comprise the foundation and frontier of systems biology. The first section of the book focuses on bringing students quickly up to speed with a variety of modeling methods in the context of a synthetic biological circuit. This innovative approach builds intuition about the strengths and weaknesses of each method and becomes critical in the book’s second half, where much more complicated network models are addressed—including transcriptional, signaling, metabolic, and even integrated multi-network models. The approach makes the work much more accessible to novices (undergraduates, medical students, and biologists new to mathematical modeling) while still having much to offer experienced modelers--whether their interests are microbes, organs, whole organisms, diseases, synthetic biology, or just about any field that investigates living systems.
Download or read book Concepts of Biology written by Samantha Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of Biology is designed for the single-semester introduction to biology course for non-science majors, which for many students is their only college-level science course. As such, this course represents an important opportunity for students to develop the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to make informed decisions as they continue with their lives. Rather than being mired down with facts and vocabulary, the typical non-science major student needs information presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. Even more importantly, the content should be meaningful. Students do much better when they understand why biology is relevant to their everyday lives. For these reasons, Concepts of Biology is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand.We also strive to show the interconnectedness of topics within this extremely broad discipline. In order to meet the needs of today's instructors and students, we maintain the overall organization and coverage found in most syllabi for this course. A strength of Concepts of Biology is that instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Concepts of Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand--and apply--key concepts.

Download or read book Exploring the World of Biology written by John Hudson Tiner and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DISCOVER THE WORLD OF LIFE AS GOD CREATED IT! The field of biology focuses on living things, from the smallest microscopic protozoa to the largest mammal. In this book you will read and explore the life of plants, insects, spiders and other arachnids, life in water, reptiles, birds, and mammals, highlighting God's amazing creatio. You will learn about the following and so much more: How does biological classification give each different type of plant or animal a unique name? In what ways are seeds spread around the world? What food does the body use for long-term storage of energy? How did biologists learn how the stomach digested food? What plant gave George de Mestral the idea for Velcro? For most of history, biologists used the visible appearance of plants or animals to classify them. They grouped plants or animals with similar-looking features into families. Starting in the 1990s, biologists have extracted DNA and RNA from cells as a guide to how plants or animals should be grouped. Like visual structures, these reveal the underlying design or creation. The newest book in our Exploring series, Exploring the World of Biology is a fascinating look at life - from the smallest proteins and spores, to the complex life systems of humans and animals.
