This text explores patterns, along with ever-evolving diversity. First, the text puts the smallest unit of life—the cell—under a microscope. Students learn about the parts of cells, their chemistry, and how they function and create energy. Next, the text introduces more complex biological systems. It studies cellular reproduction, inheritance patterns, and genetics. Lastly, they examine how biological systems act upon each other in communities and ecosystems.
Welcome to Pearson
Learning isn’t a destination, starting and stopping at the classroom door. It’s a never-ending road of discovery and wonder that has the power to transform lives. Each learning moment builds character, shapes dreams, guides futures, and strengthens communities.
We are devoted to creating tools that provide boundless opportunities for learners at every stage of the journey. Because wherever learning flourishes, so do people.
