NEW! Problem-Solving Exercises guide students in applying scientific skills and interpreting real data in the context of solving a real-world problem. A version of each Problem-Solving Exercise can also be assigned in MasteringBiology. NEW! Content Updates: Carefully selected content updates throughout the text reflect rapidly evolving research in the fields of:

Make Connections Questions ask students to relate content in a chapter to material presented earlier in the course to help them see the connections between different areas of biology, from molecules to organisms to ecosystems. BioFlix ™ animations and student tools cover the most difficult biology topics with 3-D, movie-quality animations, labeled slide shows, carefully constructed student tutorials, study sheets, and quizzes that support all types of learners. Topics include Tour of An Animal Cell, Tour of A Plant Cell, Membrane Transport, Cellular Respiration, Photosynthesis, Mitosis, Meiosis, DNA Replication, Protein Synthesis, Water Transport in Plants, How Neurons Work, Synapses, and Muscle Contraction. Where the hell do I get off thinking I am expert enough to review a first-year textbook about biology?Part Two: The Cell This section of Campbell Biology covers the structure and function of cells, including the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and organelles. Students learn about the different types of transport across the membrane, including diffusion, osmosis, and active transport, and how these processes contribute to maintaining cellular homeostasis. The section also covers the role of ATP in cellular energy production, as well as the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Professorship and serves as Chair of the Biology Department. She has published research articles on various topics involving Concept 10.3 After pyruvate is oxidized, the citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules Concept 43.2 Coordinated cycles of heart contraction drive double circulation in mammals Concept 43.3 Patterns of blood pressure and flow reflect the structure and arrangement of blood vessels

Concept 28.2 Excavates include protists with modified mitochondria and protists with unique flagella Interpret the Data questions throughout the text ask students to analyze quantitative information presented in a graph or table. These questions can be assigned in Mastering Biology. Key Concepts: Each chapter in the Eleventh Edition is organized around a manageable framework of three to six Key Concepts that provide the context for supporting details, helping students distinguish the forest from the trees.Concept 6.2 The free-energy change of a reaction tells us whether or not the reaction occurs spontaneously Concept 52.4 Genetic analyses and the concept of inclusive fitness provide a basis for studying the evolution of behavior Concept 18.4 A program of differential gene expression leads to the different cell types in a multicellular organism

Make connections across chapters in the text, from molecules to ecosystems, with new Make Connections Questions

Concept 21.1 The Darwinian revolution challenged traditional views of a young Earth inhabited by unchanging species Concept 42.3 Organs specialized for sequential stages of food processing form the mammalian digestive system UPDATED - Test bank questions have been analyzed and revised with student success in mind. Revisions account for how students read, analyze, and engage with the content, providing a rebuilt Biology: A Global Approach assessment program.
