About this ebook
The Solutions Manual For Concepts of Biology (1st Edition) by Samantha Fowler, Rebecca Roush, and James Wise—published by OpenStax—is organized into 6 core units encompassing 21 chapters. It is structured specifically for introductory, single-semester biology courses for non-science majors. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The detailed breakdown of topics and chapters covered in the text includes:
Unit 1: The Cellular Foundation of Life
This unit introduces the scientific method and the fundamental chemical and cellular building blocks of life. [1, 2]
  • Chapter 1: Introduction to Biology – Themes of biology, the properties of life, and the process of science.
  • Chapter 2: Chemistry of Life – Basic chemical building blocks, atoms, properties of water, and biological macromolecules.
  • Chapter 3: Cell Structure and Function – Comparison of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, cell organelles, and plasma membrane function.
  • Chapter 4: How Cells Obtain Energy – Cellular respiration, metabolism, metabolic pathways, and enzymes.
  • Chapter 5: Photosynthesis – The light-dependent and light-independent reactions of plants capturing solar energy. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Unit 2: Cell Division and Genetics
This section transitions from how cells reproduce to the foundational laws governing how traits are passed down. [1]
  • Chapter 6: Reproduction at the Cellular Level – Mitosis, the cell cycle, and cell division regulation.
  • Chapter 7: The Cellular Basis of Inheritance – Meiosis, sexual reproduction, and genetic variation.
  • Chapter 8: Patterns of Inheritance – Mendelian genetics, Punnett squares, laws of inheritance, and non-Mendelian trait extensions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Unit 3: Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
Covers DNA structure, replication, gene expression, and modern applications like genetic engineering and forensics. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Chapters 9-10: Molecular Biology & Biotechnology. [1]
Unit 4: Evolution and the Diversity of Life
Explores the mechanisms of evolution and the classification of organisms across the three domains. [, 2, 3, 4]
  • Chapters 11-15: Evolution, Phylogeny, Microbes, Plants, and Animal Diversity. [, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Unit 5: Animal Structure and Function
Introduces vertebrate anatomy, physiology, and key systems including immunity and reproduction. [1, 2]
  • Chapters 16-18: Body Systems, Immune System, and Animal Reproduction. [1, 2, 3]
Unit 6: Ecology
Focuses on population dynamics, ecosystem energy flow, and biodiversity conservation. [, 2, 3]
  • Chapters 19-21: Population/Community Ecology, Ecosystems, and Conservation. [1, 2, 3]
