About this ebook
The Principles of Biology: 2026 Release (5th Edition) by Robert Brooker, Eric Widmaier, Linda Graham, and Peter Stiling is structured into key foundational units that transition majors' biology from exhaustive detail to a concept-focused approach. [1, 2]
The primary units and core topics covered in this textbook include:
🔬 Unit I: Chemistry
  • Introduction to Biology: Defining life, core biological principles, and the scientific method.
  • Chemical Basis of Life I: Atoms, molecules, and the properties of water.
  • Chemical Basis of Life II: The structure and function of organic molecules (macromolecules). [1]
🧫 Unit II: Cells
  • Origin of Cells: Evolutionary pathways and general cellular features.
  • Membranes: Structure, synthesis, and cellular transport mechanisms across interfaces.
  • Cellular Energy: Introduction to energy, enzymes, and metabolic pathways.
  • Photosynthesis: How cells capture light energy.
  • Cell Communication & Multicellularity: Intracellular signaling and the mechanics of multicellular systems. [1, 2]
🧬 Unit III: Genetics
  • The Information of Life: DNA/RNA structure, chromosome packaging, and DNA replication.
  • Gene Expression: Molecular mechanisms of transcription, translation, and non-coding RNAs.
  • Gene Regulation: The controlling mechanisms governing genetic information.
  • Genetic Alterations: Mutations, DNA repair systems, and the biology of cancer.
  • Cell Division: Mitosis, meiosis, and the eukaryotic cell cycle.
  • Inheritance Patterns: Mendelian genetics, epigenetics, linkage, and extranuclear inheritance.
  • Simpler Genetic Systems: Genetics of viruses, bacteria, and archaea.
  • Genetic Technologies: Modern methods for studying genes and genomics. [1]
🦎 Unit IV: Evolution
  • Mechanisms of Evolution: How populations change across generations and population genetics.
  • Macroevolution: The origin of species and macroevolutionary patterns.
  • Taxonomy & Systematics: The classification, history of life on Earth, and human evolution. [1, 2]
🌿 Unit V: Diversity
  • Microbial Systems: Detailed overviews of Archaea, Bacteria, Protists, and Fungi.
  • Microbiomes: The ecology of microbial systems living on and around organisms.
  • Plant Evolution: Plants and their conquest of land. [1]
