General Biology I Lab Manual is a set of laboratories designed to follow the course content of a 1st semester majors’ biology course that focuses on topics from cells to organisms. The labs all contain a short introduction to the material that assumes the students already have some knowledge of the background content from lecture. Most of the laboratories also have a short pre-lab assignment; these are designed to get the students to read the lab and think about the activities or the material before their lab section begins. Questions and tasks designed to have…
The Microbiology for the Health Professional Laboratory Manual introduces common techniques used by health professionals in the microbiology laboratory. Bacteria cause many different diseases. To treat a disease effectively, the health professional must rapidly identify the bacterium that causes it. In addition to providing techniques for identifying pathogenic bacteria, the manual also covers strategies for preventing and treating diseases. Other exercises detect microbes that spoil food and water and demonstrate how some microbes are used to make food. The…

The laboratories included in Cell Biology: A Research-Based Approach are primarily designed to introduce students to a number of standard, yet powerful, experimental techniques used in the modern-day cell biology laboratory. Notably, however, they are also organized as a set of experiments designed to shed light on a completely uncharacterized cellular protein denominated FAM171B.
Therefore, these labs allow students to perform "real research" trying to decipher the normal cellular function of this novel protein. FAM171B was originally…
Biology, health care, and medicine are all fields of investigation and discovery. To diagnose and treat any disease, health care workers must compile and translate information to arrive at the best possible conclusion for each patient. That is the goal of this textbook.
In each chapter are mystery situations that are written to encourage more effective learning of the material through investigation and application of the material. Students will create an investigation strategy, collect and translate evidence, and arrive at conclusions using the information in each chapter.

Scientists have demonstrated their ability to offer at least some hope of survival to those facing serious medical diagnoses. Scientists are far from the heartless analytical machines portrayed in modern literature, and doctors are much more rational than the actors pretending to emote all over their patients on certain TV shows. Scientists and physicians are people who have, by and large, taken an oath to let Nature be their primary teacher so that they can, in one way or other, help other humans and humanity thrive. Every diagnostic or treatment procedure in medicine has either been…

Science is just one way of knowing the world. Some people experience the world through the lens of music, others are passionate about history. It’s been said that those who grow up to be scientists have simply never outgrown the childhood phase of awe and experimentation that we can all remember.
The objective of Introduction to Biology: Laboratory Manual is to get students to think about the nature of science, the connection between science and society, and how they can adopt the lens of science throughout this course and, hopefully, throughout…
This lab manual is designed for first semester biology students that are studying cellular processes. The labs were designed to help introduce students to many of the major ideas while also giving them practice with both the scientific method and laboratory tools. With these labs we have attempted to give students enough guidance that they can maneuver through the labs without too much frustration but still have to do some designing of experiments so that the labs aren’t all “cookie cutter”. We also tried to add in some review exercises within the lab to “test” the student’s ability to go…
