Biological Science, 7th Edition, is an introductory biology textbook designed for biology majors seeking a structured foundation in the life sciences. Authored by Scott Freeman, Kim Quillin, Lizabeth Allison, Michael Black, Greg Podgorski, Emily Taylor, and Jeff Carmichael, the text establishes core scientific principles and prepares students for subsequent study across biological disciplines.
The curriculum addresses major biological scales, progressing from molecular components and cellular structures to genetics, evolutionary processes, plant and animal physiology, and ecological systems. This edition incorporates specific thematic updates that reflect recent scientific findings, including advances in genomic editing, research on global climate change, and revised insights into the evolution of land plants.
To strengthen conceptual integration across topics, the text weaves a unified case study throughout the volume. This continuous analytical thread assists introductory biology students in identifying connections between separate biological concepts and understanding how life operates across multiple organizational levels.
