Book Description: Concepts in Biology is designed to help learners build a robust conceptual framework for understanding life and biological organization across levels of complexity. Organized around the Vision and Change framework (AAAS, 2011), the text covers the core biological concepts of Transformations of Energy and Matter, Information Flow, Evolution, Structure-Function and Systems. Students are guided to approach each concept at the cellular and molecular, organismal, and ecological levels of biological scale. This book emphasizes the interconnectedness of biological systems and the processes that drive life. Interactive questions are embedded throughout to engage students in the learning process and give them personalized and immediate feedback on their understanding. Using this book equips introductory college students with critical thinking and scientific literacy skills that serve as a foundation to their development as life scientists and informed citizens.
