Succeed in Biology with Practice, Practice, Practice!

Practice makes perfect only if you are practicing correctly! Through clear and concise descriptions and supporting images, the text in this book will help you uncover what can seem like a complex and complicated subject matter chock full of technical jargon. As we move from an investigation of the microscopic to macroscopic world, you will develop study habits to help you master the material, specifically the identification of Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary terms and the application of new concepts to recurring and overarching themes of biology.

This approach will allow you to recognize how biology topics are interconnected, which will deepen your overall understanding. After each chapter lesson, numerous exercises follow to help you check your understanding and better relate to the subject. Dozens of exercises enable you to practice what you’ve learned, and a complete answer key is included for you to check your work.

Working through the lessons in this book, you will find it easier than ever to grasp biology concepts. And with a variety of assessment types provided for practice, you will gain confidence using your growing biology skills in your classwork and on exams. Actively engaging with biology topics over time will enable you to start to see biology all around you. As the study of life, biology is nearly everywhere you look, and sometimes even shows up in very unexpected places.
