About this ebook
The 10th Edition of the Investigating Biology Laboratory Manual, written by Judith Morgan and M. Eloise Carter and published by Pearson, covers fundamental majors-level general biology topics through an investigative, hands-on, and hypothesis-based scientific approach. [1, 2, 3]
The primary laboratory topics and core structural themes detailed throughout this manual include: [1]
Core Laboratory Topics Covered
- Scientific Methodology & Core Cellular Biology
- Scientific Investigation: Learning how to form questions, hypotheses, design experimental variables, analyze results, and effectively communicate scientific findings.
- Microscopes and Cells: Mastering light microscopy, basic structural observation, and exploring cell organization across different organisms.
- Diffusion and Osmosis: Mechanistic examination of molecule diffusion, cellular osmotic activity, and calculating the osmolarity of plant tissues.
- Enzymes: Studying enzyme mechanics, reaction dynamics, and the variables affecting catalytic efficiency. [1, 2, 3]
- Energetics & Molecular Genetics
- Cellular Respiration and Fermentation: Quantitative assessment of energy production path mechanisms under aerobic and anaerobic environments.
- Photosynthesis: Testing light reactions, pigments, and variables driving plant carbon fixation.
- Mitosis and Meiosis: Visual and developmental analysis of cellular reproduction and gamete division.
- Mendelian Genetics I & II: Tracking phenotypic traits using Fast Plants (Lab I) and exploring gene patterns/gene mapping through Drosophila fruit fly variations (Lab II).
- Molecular Biology: Mapping DNA structures using tools like restriction enzymes and gel electrophoresis.
- Bioinformatics: Exploring molecular phylogeny to understand biological evolutionary lineages.
- Population Genetics: Assessing genetic variations and calculating systemic equilibrium using the Hardy-Weinberg Theorem. [1, 2, 3]
- Biological Diversity & Evolution
- Bacteriology: Distinguishing bacterial groups, colony properties, and structures.
- Protists & The Kingdom Fungi: Comparative studies of unicellular eukaryotic clades and distinct fungal lifecycle lineages.
- Plant Diversity (I & II): From bryophytes (nonvascular) and seedless vascular plants up to advanced seed-producing variants.
- Animal Diversity (I & II): An evolutionary survey spanning primitive invertebrates (Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Mollusca, Annelida) into higher-order phylums (Nematoda, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, Chordata). [1, 2]
- Organismal Anatomy, Development, and Ecology
- Plant Anatomy & Growth: Anatomical investigation of tissues, primary growth cells, and root/shoot morphology.
- Vertebrate Anatomy (I, II & III): Multi-layered functional analysis of the skin, digestive, circulatory, respiratory, excretory, reproductive, and nervous organ systems.
- Animal Development & Behavior: Tracking embryological development phases alongside laboratory-simulated models of animal behavioral patterns.
- Ecology (Terrestrial & Aquatic): Field and classroom experiments testing community interactions, energy flow, and computer simulations of ecosystems. [1, 2]
