Explorations in Basic Biology by Gunstream (paperback)

Description: About this productProduct InformationExplorations in Basic Biology, 12/E is a self-contained laboratory manual designed for one- or two-semester introductory biology courses for non-biology and mixed biology majors. The exercises are appropriate for three-hour laboratory sessions, but are also adaptable to a two-hour laboratory format. Ideal for readers with little hands-on science laboratory experience, this reader-friendly text provides clear background information and directions for conducting laboratory activities. Readers not only learn basic biological information but also gain experience practicing laboratory techniques. The Twelfth Edition has been updated with new content, including several new or modified figures and procedures that have been clarified where necessary to facilitate reader learning, a new Appendix, and guidelines for writing a scientific paper. Several exercises also feature significant improvements. KEY TOPICS: Orientation, The Microscope, The Cell, Chemical Aspects, Diffusion and Osmosis, Enzymes, Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration and Fermentation, Cell Division, Prokaryotes and Protists, Green, Brown and Red Algae, Fungi, Terrestrial Plants, Simple Animals, Mollusks, Segmented Worms and Arthropods, Echinoderms and Chordates, Dissection of the Frog, Dissection of the Fetal Pig, Blood and Circulation, Gas Exchange, Digestion, Excretion, Neural Control, Sensory Perception in Humans, Chemical Control in Animals, The Skeletal System, Muscles and Movement, Reproduction in Vertebrates, Fertilization and Development, Early Embryology of the Chick, Structure of Flowering Plants, Transport in Plants, Chemical Control in Plants, Heredity, Molecular and Chromosomal Genetics, DNA Fingerprinting, Evolution, Evolutionary Mechanisms, Ecological Relationships, Population Growth, Animal Behavior .
