An introduction to cellular and molecular biology. Major topics include the biochemical basis of life, cell biology, photosynthesis, respiration, mitosis, meiosis, genetics, DNA structure and replication and protein synthesis. Students engage the scientific method by designing, conducting and evaluating laboratory experiences that include selected topics in cell structure and function, enzymes, respiration, photosynthesis, genetics and molecular biology. NOTE: Students may receive credit for BIO 119 or BIO 126, but not for both.
This Biology I lab manual was created at Hillsborough Community College.

This site is an OER for BIology II and contains all the materials needed for the course including lecture slides and labs.
This course is an introduction to organismal biology with a focus on evolution, the diversity of life and ecology. Major topics include the processes and outcomes of microevolution, macroevolution and the history of life, a survey of the major groups of eukaryotic organisms, basic plant and animal structures and their functions, and ecology. Students engage the scientific method by designing, conducting and evaluating laboratory experiences that include selected topics in seedless plants, seed plants, invertebrates, chordates, animal behavior, ecology and evolution. Field-based lab experiences train students to observe, collect, measure and monitor organisms in the wild.
This is a syllabus for a first-semester introductory biology class, including reading links for current news articles related to the course topics as well as an OpenStax textbook.
This set of Biology II lab assignments ensures students have the opportunity to apply the concepts and information they learn as they work through Biology II course content. Content includes lab assignments for students, as well as Instructor Materials Preparation for each lab with detailed lists of what faculty members need for each lab. The materials required are broken down by student (or groups of students).
These lab materials were developed by faculty at Tidewater Community College.
This material is labwork meant to be used in conjunction with the Candela "Biology II" course.

This “.gift” file contains more than 100 test bank questions of multiple formats (multiple choice, fill-in-the0blank, true/false, matching and short essay) for a Biology I course. The categories and tags are mapped to the content of Foundations of Biology 2.0 (Compton, Hyde and Williams, 2018) a remix of the two OpenStax biology texts, Biology and Concepts of Biology. The questions span the following content areas: Introduction to Biology, Chemistry, Biological Molecules, Cells, Membrane transport, Energy, Respiration, Photosynthesis, Reproduction, Inheritance, DNA, and Gene Expression.
A laboratory manual for a first-semester introductory biology class, developed at Greenfield Community College. Specifically, this manual is tailored towards community colleges, where biology majors and general education students are frequently in the same course sections. This manual is for online instruction, and features labs that students can do at home. It is designed to work in tandem with the textbook Foundations of Biology 2.0, also developed at Greenfield Community College.
