This general biology laboratory manual covers core concepts in biology through investigations of plants, cells, molecules, and genetic processes. Topics include plant identification and ecology, measurement techniques, macromolecules, microscopy, osmosis, enzymes, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, fermentation, cell division, and inheritance. The manual also explores plant anatomy, growth, reproduction, and life cycles through laboratory activities and observations, with additional practice problems in genetics and inheritance.
