Front Cover; Brief Contents; Title Page; Copyright Page; About the Authors; Preface; New Content; Acknowledgments; Reviewers; Acknowledgments for the Global Edition; Detailed Contents; 1 Biology: Exploring Life; Biology: The Scientific Study of Life; 1.1 What Is life?; 1.2 Biologists arrange the diversity of life into three domains; 1.3 Visualizing The Concept In life's hierarchy of organization, new properties emerge at each level; The Process of Science; 1.4 What is science?; 1.5 Hypotheses can be tested using controlled experiments.
Scientific Thinking Hypotheses can be tested using observational data1.7 The process of science is repetitive, nonlinear, and collaborative; 1.8 Connection Biology, technology, and society are connected in important ways; Five Unifying Themes in Biology; 1.9 Theme: Evolution is the core theme of biology; 1.10 Evolution Connection Evolution is connected to our everyday lives; 1.11 Theme: Life depends on the flow of information; 1.12 Theme: Structure and function are related; 1.13 Theme: Life depends on the transfer and transformation of energy and matter.
Theme: Life depends on interactions within and between systemsChapter Review; Unit I The Life of the Cell; 2 The Chemical Basis of Life; Elements, Atoms, and Compounds; 2.1 Organisms are composed of elements, usually combined into compounds; 2.2 Connection Trace elements are common additives to food and water; 2.3 Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons; 2.4 Connection Radioactive isotopes can help or harm us; Chemical Bonds; 2.5 The distribution of electrons determines an atom's chemical properties.
Visualizing The Concept Covalent bonds join atoms into molecules through electron sharing2.7 Ionic bonds are attractions between ions of opposite charge; 2.8 Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds important in the chemistry of life; 2.9 Chemical reactions make and break chemical bonds; Water's Life-Supporting Properties; 2.10 Hydrogen bonds make liquid water cohesive; 2.11 Water's hydrogen bonds moderate temperature; 2.12 Ice floats because it is less dense than liquid water; 2.13 Water is the solvent of life; 2.14 Scientists study the effects of rising atmospheric CO2 on coral reef ecosystems.
Scientific Thinking The chemistry of life is sensitive to acidic and basic conditions2.16 Evolution Connection The search for extraterrestrial life centers on the search for water; Chapter Review; Chapter Review; 3 The Molecules of Cells; Introduction to Organic Compounds; 3.1 Life's molecular diversity is based on the properties of carbon; 3.2 A few chemical groups are key to the functioning of biological molecules; 3.3 Cells make large molecules from a limited set of small molecules; Carbohydrates; 3.4 Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates.
Two monosaccharides are linked to form a disaccharide.
