Concept 50.1 Sensory receptors transduce stimulus energy and transmit signals to the central nervous system

earned his M.A. in Zoology from UCLA and his Ph.D. in Plant Biology from the University of California, Riverside, where he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2001. Neil published numerous research articles on desert and coastal plants and how the sensitive plant ( Mimosa) and other legumes move their leaves. His 30 years of teaching in diverse environments included general biology courses at Cornell University, Pomona College, and San Bernadino Valley College, where he received the college’s first Outstanding Professor Award in 1986. Neil was a visiting scholar in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at the University of California, Riverside. In addition to his authorship of this book, he coauthored Biology: Concepts & Connections and Essential Biologywith Jane Reece. Neil died shortly after the initial planning of this revision. Concept 53.6 The human population is no longer growing exponentially but is still increasing rapidly Five fundamental themes that mirror the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education report and run through all areas of biology—Evolution, Organization, Information, Energy and Matter, and Interactions—are introduced in Chapter 1 and recur throughout the text. A Write about a Theme question in every Chapter Review reinforces how the chapter content relates to one of these common “big ideas” of biology. Concept 45.2 Fertilization depends on mechanisms that bring together sperm and eggs of the same speciesScientific Inquiry Questions in the end-of-chapter material ask students to practice scientific thinking by developing hypotheses, designing experiments, and analyzing real research data. NEW - Science in the Classroom presents annotated journal articles from American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and makes reading and understanding primary literature easier for students. The articles include assessments in Mastering, allowing instructors to assign the journal articles.

Overall, the section provides a solid foundation in the basic principles of chemistry and biochemistry that are essential for understanding the structure and function of living organisms. By integrating text, art, and photos, Exploring Figures help students access information efficiently. Make connections to the overarching theme of evolution in every chapter with new Evolution sections

If You're a Student

Concept 27.2 Rapid reproduction, mutation, and genetic recombination promote genetic diversity in prokaryotes Professorship and serves as Chair of the Biology Department. She has published research articles on various topics involving Active Learning and Assessment: Campbell BIOLOGY, Eleventh Edition, provides students with multiple opportunities to deepen their understanding of biology: o Synthesize Your Knowledge Questions at the end of each chapter ask students to apply their understanding of the chapter content to explain an intriguing photograph.

o The basic steps of gene expression are shown in Chapter 1, providing students with an understanding of how genes determine the characteristics of an organism from the beginning of their study of biology.Peter Minorsky (Unit 6) is a professor at Mercy College in New York, where he teaches evolution, ecology, botany, and introductory biology. He received his B.A. in Biology from Vassar College and his Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from Cornell University. He is also the science writer for the journal Plant Physiology. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Peter taught at Kenyon College, Union College, Western Connecticut State University, and Vassar College. He is an electrophysiologist who studies plant responses to stress. Peter received the 2008 Award for Teaching Excellence at Mercy College. 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. 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.

End-of-chapter Summary of Key Concepts Questions reinforce the main ideas in each chapter, while Test Your Understanding Questions prepare students for the kinds of questions they will see on exams and encourage higher-level thinking. In the text, selected figures are rendered in a 3-D style to help students visualize biological structures. 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.Concept 18.4 A program of differential gene expression leads to the different cell types in a multicellular organism 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. This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States. As Neil Campbell’s longtime collaborator, Jane Reece has participated in every edition of BIOLOGY. Earlier, Jane taught biology at Middlesex County College and Queensborough Community College. Her research as a doctoral student and postdoc focused on genetic recombination in bacteria. Besides her work on BIOLOGY, she has been a coauthor on Biology: Concepts & Connections, Essential Biology, and The World of the Cell.
