The Exploring Creation with Biology, 3rd Edition, is written in a conversational format with the author talking directly to your student. Your student is guided through key learning strategies like how to think critically about what they are learning, identifying important parts of the information presented, taking meaningful notes, and completing experiments. Sold separately, the student notebook complements the textbook by providing easy-to-understand graphics, space to record answers, and note-taking instructions designed to help your student make a successful transition to high school science.
Throughout this course, your student will connect textbook instruction with hands-on experiments for maximum learning. The experiments your student will conduct come in three types: microscope labs, dissection labs, and household labs. Household labs utilize easy-to-obtain household equipment. The microscope labs, however, will require that your student has access to a microscope and several blank and prepared slides, while the dissection labs require an additional dissection kit with specimens.

This resource is written for an introductory or intermediate-level college genetics course. The work begins with an exploration of DNA and genome structure, including landmark experiments that contributed to our early understanding of the relationship between DNA, genes, and traits. It continues with the central dogma of molecular genetics: the molecular mechanisms that allow cells to use the information stored in DNA. It also discusses the cause and effect of mutation. The molecular processes are then linked back to classical transmission genetics experiments.
Biological psychology is the study of the biological bases of behavior and mental processes. It explores how biological factors like genes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and brain structures influence psychological components like thoughts, emotions, memories, and actions. This free and open textbook provides a wide ranging and up-to-date introduction to the main topics and methods of biological psychology.
This textbook is focused specifically on the principles and concepts of a foundational Cell Biology course. The book takes a more conceptual approach that highlights how scientists study cells, and how to analyze and interpret experimental results. Rather than focusing primarily on historical experiments that were key to our understanding of cells, the book explores a range of more modern experimental techniques so that students can begin to understand how cells are studied now, in the 21st century. The book includes over 200 newly created illustrations and animations, that were specifically designed for this book, as well as review questions at the end of each chapter, to help students explore and understand the material.
This open textbook is designed to provide a deep understanding of the biological and biomedical aspects of human reproduction, covering a wide range of topics from basic reproductive biology to clinical applications. The book starts with foundational knowledge and progresses to more advanced topics while also including real-world clinical orientation for practical contexts.
Mathematical modelling plays an increasingly important role in almost any area of life sciences, and this interactive textbook focuses on the areas of population ecology, infectious diseases, immunology and cell dynamics, gene networks and pharmacokinetics. It is aimed at anyone who is interested in learning about how to model biological systems, including undergraduate and postgraduate mathematics students who have not studied mathematical biology before, life-sciences students with an interest in modelling, and post-16 mathematics students interested in university-level material. Some mathematical knowledge is assumed, and the mathematical models used are all in the form of ordinary differential equations.
El libro "Principios Bsicos de Bioqumica para Agroecologa" es una obra que busca proporcionar a los estudiantes de esta disciplina una base slida en los fundamentos de la bioqumica, escrita por un equipo de docentes investigadores, se presenta como un recurso didctico para aquellos estudiantes que buscan comprender la relacin entre la qumica, la bioqumica y la agricultura, iniciando con la definicin conceptual de bioqumica. A medida que avanza el texto, se profundiza en los conceptos de estructuras de la clula vegetal, sus caractersticas y funciones, as como tambin se describen las protenas, lpidos, carbohidratos y cidos nucleicos. Adems, aborda temas importantes para la agroecologa, como la fotosntesis y la funcin de los nutrientes en las plantas. El enfoque en estos temas permite a los estudiantes de agroecologa entender cmo los principios de la bioqumica son relevantes para el estudio de la agricultura y la produccin de alimentos. As tambin incluye una variedad de recursos de apoyo para el aprendizaje, como cuadros, tablas, diagramas y ejemplos. Estos recursos ayudan a los estudiantes a visualizar y comprender los conceptos difciles de la bioqumica, y a aplicarlos a situaciones del mundo real. Una de las caractersticas ms destacadas de este documento es su lenguaje accesible y fcil de entender. Los autores han evitado el uso excesivo de terminologa tcnica y han explicado los conceptos de manera clara y concisa. Esto hace que sea adecuado para estudiantes de diversos niveles y antecedentes acadmicos. En conclusin, es material bibliogrfico valioso y esencial para cualquier estudiante que desee comprender los principios bsicos de la bioqumica y su aplicacin en el campo de la agroecologa. Con una escritura clara, recursos de apoyo tiles y un enfoque en temas relevantes para la agricultura, representa una excelente herramienta para el aprendizaje y la comprensin de la bioqumica y su relacin con la produccin de alimentos.
La Biotecnologa Ambiental emplea el uso de organismos para la prevencin, monitoreo y remediacin de los ecosistemas, al mismo tiempo permite la generacin de bioproductos y energa limpia. El libro consisti en tres captulos, en el primero se establece los fundamentos de la Biotecnologa Ambiental y sus aplicaciones en entornos terrestre, acutico y areo; adems, se presentan herramientas aplicadas como los biosensores en el monitoreo ambiental, la fitorremediacin en varios contextos de Amrica Latina y el fortalecimiento de la agricultura sustentable. En el segundo captulo se describe la importancia de un estudio bibliomtrico y el enfoque para las diversas investigaciones, se detalla un manual de uso, que permite su replicabilidad en otros contextos. Adems de presentar un caso de estudio aplicado al tema central de este libro, que sistematiza los temas ms estudiados, las tendencias, revistas y pases con mayores contribuciones. En el tercer captulo se presentan varias prcticas de laboratorio y una seccin de preguntas, que pueden ser empleadas en otras instituciones educativas o de manera autnoma. En conclusin, los captulos son complementarios entre s, facilitando la comprensin e inters del lector. El rea de mayor relevancia corresponde a la biorremediacin en suelos contaminados por hidrocarburos y metales pesados, los grupos ms frecuentes en la revisin fueron hongos, cianobacterias y organismos genticamente modificados. Finalmente, existe una oportunidad del uso y la potencial combinacin de las tcnicas basadas en metagenmica, ADN ambiental, inteligencia artificial para el desarrollo de las nuevas tendencias de la Biotecnologa Ambiental

The study also found that biology textbooks reinforced a picture of an adversarial relationship between science and industry, rather than teaching students how science and industry can team up to create social benefits, for example, through new treatments for diseases, alternative sources of energy, new jobs, new investment opportunities and economic growth.
The large majority of students who take an introductory biology course in college will ultimately work in business occupations. For these students, the negative representation of business may undercut both their engagement with the science curriculum and ultimately their ability to use science in the workforce. For those who pursue science careers, this representation fails to teach how industry can extend the impact of science to the public.
