Biology Resources

Biology is the science that focuses on the study of life, living organisms, cells, taxonomy, genetics, ecology, populations of living things, ecosystems, plants, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, invertebrates, vertebrates, fungi, bacteria, and other topics.

This is a collection of all of the biology pages I've created on Squidoo. They contain information, videos, and labs that may be helpful for students studying biology. The pages often build on one another, so it's best to do them in order unless you are already familiar with the previous biology topics.

Have fun!

Cell Biology

Unit 1 on Cell Biology


Cell Biology (Photosynthesis, Mitosis, Cell Organelles, and More)

This page is on cell biology. It contains information, labs, study guides, and videos on cell structures, cells and their environments, osmosis, diffusion, endocytosis, exocytoisis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, chromosomes, asexual reproduction, binary fission, cell division, the cell cycle, mitosis,and cytokinesis. Also included is a brief overview of chemistry.

Genetics

Unit 2 on Genetics



Labs, Information, And Videos For Studying Genetics

This page on Genetics covers meiosis, asexual and sexual reproduction, haploid life cycle, diploid life cycle, alternating life cycles, the origins of genetics, Mendel and his theory, heredity, patterns of heredity, genotypes, phenotypes, recessive genes, alleles, homozygous, heterozygous, punnet squares, sex linked traits, autosomal traits, The Law of Segregation, The Law of Independent Assortment, Incomplete dominance, codominance, mutations, multiple alleles, DNA replication, gene structure and regulation, genetic engineering, and more.

The page includes study guides, videos, and labs on genetics.

The History Of Life On Earth

Including an intro to taxonomy

Unit 3 on The History of Life on Earth



The History Of Life On Earth


How Did Life on Earth Begin? How Did Life Evolve and Change Over Time? How Do Scientists Classify Living Organisms? These are some of the topics discussed on this page.

Ecology

There are 4 pages in this unit on Ecology.

Unit 4 on Ecology


Ecological Principles / Populations

This page on ecology focuses primary on populations and covers the three main features of populations, types of growth curves, the Hardy Weingburg principle, gene flow, genetic drift, natural selection, nonrandom mating, distribution of traits, and more.




Ecosystems

This Ecosystems page discuses habitats, communities, ecosystems, abiotic factors and biotic factors, pioneer species, succession, energy flow in ecosystems, food chains, producers, herbivores, consumers, carnivores, omnivores, detritivores, decomposers, food webs, biomass, energy pyramids, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, phosphorus cycle, and more.




Biological Communities - Symbiosis, Niches, and Biomes

This page is about symbiotic relationships, coevolution, predation, parasitism, mutalism, commensalism, niches, biomes, and more.




Global Changes And The Environment


This page on global change includes information about global warming, acid rain, the hole in the ozone layer, the destruction of the rainforest, and other environmental issues. Also covered is the effects of the behavior of humans on earth's ecosystems, pollution, DDT, what people can do to help the environment, important information about fluorescent light bulbs(please don't throw them in the trash!), ideas for students for undertaking a "go green" project, and more.

Diversity of Living Things

This unit on the diversity of living things has 4 pages to it.

Unit 5 on Diversity



An Introduction to Taxonomy - The Kingdoms and Domains Of Life

This page on taxonomy includes information on how organisms are classified, the domains and kingdoms we classify organisms into, various forms of multicellularity, tissues, organs, organ systems, and a brief introduction (with photos of organisms) of each of the kingdoms and many of the phyla.




Learning About Viruses And Bacteria

Are viruses and bacteria alive? How do viruses multiply? What shapes do viruses come in? What are the characteristics of bacteria? What shapes do they come in? How do bacteria gain energy? These are some of the topics discussed on this page!




Protists: Paramecium, Amoebas, Algae, Diatoms, Euglena, and Others <

On this page, we explore the world of protists, such as paramecium and amoebas!




The Fungi Kingdom

The fungi kingdom includes mushrooms, molds, rusts, yeasts, and many other organisms. Find our more about fungi on this page!

The Plant Kingdom

More pages will be added for the plant kingdom unit later

Unit 6 is on the Plant Kingdom


The Plant Kingdom

The Animal Kingdom

Invertebrates Plus An Introduction to the Animal Kingdom

Unit 7 is on the Animal Kingdom: Invertebrates


The Animal Kingdom: An Introduction


Sponges are Simple Animals


The Cnidarians: Jellyfish, Sea Anemones, Hydrozoans, and Corals


Earthworms, Christmas Tree Worms, Leeches, and Other Annelids

    Oh my, this page should be recommended reading for nursing students. I studied all this when I was in school. Great job. Blessed.

    I always know I'll truly like your lenses, even before I visit. This was no exception.

    Terrific Biology resource page! I have a funny story about taking Biology in college. My uncle was a professor at my college - teaching Zoology and Biology - and I signed up for his Biology class (because I was curious what he was like as a teacher!). He was NOT pleased, because no one knew we were related and he didn't want other students thinking he was 'playing favorites', so he was particularly hard on me that semester. I had to 'be prepared' with answers every class because he invariably 'called' on me! But, I passed the class! :-)

    I love bio-diversity! :)
    The password below says: pigwow - certainly makes me feel like a 'Pig' with a lot of 'wow' factor! :))

    LOL! Well, you may have a lot of wow, but you don't seem like a pig to me, KC! Thanks for the laugh though! I've been working really hard for the past few days on a new page in this biology series, and really appreciated taking time out for a laugh!! :-)
