Students benefit from self-paced activities that feature personalized wrong-answer feedback to emulate the office-hour experience and help keep students on track. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, many of them created by the Campbell Biology: Concepts and Connections authors, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts. Pearson eText allows educators to easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class—motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning.
Portable access lets students study on the go, even offline. And, reading analytics offer insight into how students use the eText, helping educators tailor their instruction. Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; Mastering Biology and Pearson eText do not come packaged with this content.

The 9th Edition offers students a framework organized around fundamental biological themes and encourages them to analyze visual representations of data with new Visualizing the Data figures.
A reorganized Chapter One emphasizes the process of science and scientific reasoning, and robust instructor resources and multimedia allow students to engage with biological concepts in a memorable way. Unparalleled resources let instructors develop active and high interest lectures with ease. The book and Mastering tm Biology work together to help students practice making these connections throughout their text. Also available with Mastering Biology Mastering tm Biology is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to improve results by helping students quickly master concepts.

This bestselling textbook is designed to help students stay focused with its hallmark modular organisation around central concepts and engages students in connections between concepts and the world outside of the classroom with Scientific Thinking, Evolution Connection and Connection essays in every chapter.
The heading of each module is a carefully crafted statement of a key concept. Chapter 1, Biology: Exploring Life This chapter has been extensively reorganized and revised. Our expanded coverage of the nature of science and scientific inquiry has now moved to the forefront of Chapter 1. The first of the five modules in this section provides a general description of data, hypothesis formation and testing, the centrality of verifiable evidence to science, and an explanation of scientific theories.
The module describing how hypotheses can be tested using controlled experiments now includes a subsection on hypothesis testing in humans.
Unit I, The Life of the Cell This unit guides students from basic chemistry and the molecules of life through cellular structures to cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Throughout the Ninth Edition, the five themes introduced in Chapter 1 are highlighted with specific references.
Unit II, Cellular Reproduction and Genetics The The purpose of this unit is to help students understand the relationship between DNA, chromosomes, and organisms and to help students see that genetics is not purely hypothetical but connects in many important and interesting ways to their lives, human society, and other life on Earth.
The content has been reinforced with updated discussions of relevant topics, such as DCIS also called stage 0 breast cancer , increased use of genetically modified organisms GMOs , recent examples of DNA profiling, information about the California measles outbreak, a new infographic that charts emergent virus outbreaks, and new data on the health prospects of clones. Unit III, Concepts of Evolution This unit presents the basic principles of evolution and natural selection, the overwhelming evidence that supports these theories, and their relevance to all of biology—and to the lives of students.
For example, a new Visualizing the Data figure Chapter 13 also includes a new Visualizing the Concept module Chapter 14 contains a new Evolution Connection module Modules
