By the end of this section, you will be able to:Identify and describe the properties of lifeDescribe the levels of organization among living thingsRecognize and interpret a phylogenetic treeList examples of different sub disciplines in biology
Online Biology textbook in epub format downloaded from Boundless before they went defunct. This was my first introduction to OER as a result of an online search to find alternatives to the high-cost biology textbooks I was using. I did not author this epub. I am merely uploading the epub that I downloaded years ago.

Introductory image modification only.
This is a diagram visually summarizing the main stages of food processing: ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination. This diagram was created to accompany a chapter on digestion and nutrition modified from the OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology textbook for a nonmajor's biology course.
It was modified for biology instruction by Tina B. Jones from a public domain drawing posted to Wikimedia Commons by Tom Kelly, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Edited for Human Breathing OnlyBy the end of this section, you will be able to:Describe how the structures of the lungs and thoracic cavity control the mechanics of breathingExplain the importance of compliance and resistance in the lungsDiscuss problems that may arise due to a V/Q mismatch
Revised for Bio 101, Human Circulatory System, Errors in MC questions fixed.By the end of this section, you will be able to:Describe an open and closed circulatory systemDescribe interstitial fluid and hemolymphCompare and contrast the organization and evolution of the vertebrate circulatory system.
This resource provides a course calendar for both a 10-week and a 16-week semester for an online Biology 101 course. It is meant to be used by instructors as a guide to planning a semester of instruction built around OpenStax Concepts of Biology and OER biology materials published by Tina B. Jones.
