"This book intends to present the important topics in General Biology 2, a specialized senior high school subject in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand with interesting activities and simplified explanations.
This book will help you realize that biology is not just important but also a very practical science. We want you to see that the interactions of organisms with the environment is simply beautiful. Life at every level is a process and a pattern, from the development of a single creature to the evolution of a whole species, the expression of a single gene, and the nutrient cycling of an entire ecosystem.
It will help you understand the organ systems of the body and how they are regulated, the principles and concepts heredity and variation, and the diversity of living organisms and their structure, function, evolution, and classification. Chapter 1 will help you appreciate the biology of organisms by exploring the different systems of plants and animals. It also links organisms to their environment. Chapters 2 and 3 cover genetics and heredity. The discussions lay the foundation of the central theme of modern biology which is evolution, found in chapter 4. Chapter 5 is about systematics and is the culmination of all the discussion on the organisms' characteristics. Also included are activities and online resources like videos and virtual laboratories."
