STUDENT STUDY TOOLS

IN THIS CHAPTER provides students with a concise preview and roadmap of the chapter.


A CHAPTER OUTLINE introduces the major section headings, all of which are posed as questions to get students started in seeing the study of biology as an inquiry-based experience.


A RECAP at the end of each numbered section offers a very brief summary and 2-3 questions so students can check their mastery of the material they just read.


BALLOON CAPTIONS guide students step-by-step through experiments and biological processes with clear explanations.


ICONS throughout the chapter alert students to Animated Tutorials and Activities on the Free Companion Web site.


The CHAPTER SUMMARY provides a thorough review of the chapter’s concepts and key terms, suggests key figures to review, and reminds students of Web activities that support the chapter.


SELF QUIZZES at the end of each chapter (with all answers in the back of the book) offer another opportunity for students to check their mastery of the material in the chapter.
