About the Program
Emphasizing current interests while presenting basic botanical principles, Stern’s Introductory Plant Biology assumes little prior scientific knowledge. Students will be introduced to the classification of plants and plant-related species. The text also includes an integration of biotechnology into several chapters and boxes addressing ecology, evolution, and molecular biology. In addition, Stern’s Introductory Plant Biology includes:
• A chapter outline, review questions, discussion questions, and additional reading lists for each chapter
• A glossary of new terms with definitions and pronunciation
• Appendices including a list of scientific names of all organisms mentioned in the text; biological controls and companion planting; coverage of a wide variety of plant types; horticultural information on house plants; brief discussions on how to cultivate vegetables and their nutritional values; and metric equivalents and conversion tables
• Dynamic digital resources including customizable, auto-graded assessments; animation activities and virtual labs; hundreds of photos of plant anatomy; interactive eBook and adaptive SmartBook assignments; a teacher solutions manual; and customizable PowerPoint presentations to structure instruction
