SIMON JANE B. REECE is an associate professor in the Department of has worked in biology publishing since 1978, Biology and Health Science at New England when she joined the editorial staff of Benjamin College, in Henniker, New Hampshire. He Cummings. Her education includes an A.B. in teaches introductory biology to science majors biology from Harvard University (where she and nonscience majors, as well as upper-level was initially a philosophy major), an M.S. in courses in genetics, microbiology, tropical microbiology from Rutgers University, and marine biology, and careers in science. a Ph.D. in bacteriology from the University Dr. Simon received a B.A. in biology and of California, Berkeley. At UC Berkeley, and computer science and an M.A. in biology from Wesleyan University later as a postdoctoral fellow in genetics at Stanford University, her and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University. His research research focused on genetic recombination in bacteria. Dr. Reece taught focuses on innovative ways to use technology to improve teaching biology at Middlesex County College (New Jersey) and Queensborough and learning in the science classroom, particularly for nonscience Community College (New York). During her 12 years as an editor at majors. Dr. Simon is also a coauthor of Campbell Biology: Concepts & Benjamin Cummings, she played a major role in a number of successful Connections, 7th Edition. textbooks. She is the lead author of Campbell Biology, 9th Edition, and To Marshall, an intellectual role model, a source of data and wisdom, Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, 7th Edition. an organizational tour de force, a hardcore bicyclist, a bona fide To my wonderful coauthors, who have made working on our books Deadhead, a great father, and one cool dude a pleasure JEAN L.

Over his 30 years of teaching school, when a scheduling problem landed her introductory biology to both science majors in an advanced biology course. Abandoning and nonscience majors, many thousands of plans to study English or foreign languages, she students had the opportunity to learn from enrolled in Kent State University as a biology him and be stimulated by his enthusiasm for major. After receiving her B.S. in biology, the study of life. While he is greatly missed by she went on to earn a Ph.D. in ecology and evolution from Purdue his many friends in the biology community, University. Since joining the faculty at Clemson in 1984, Dr. Dickey has his coauthors remain inspired by his visionary dedication to education specialized in teaching nonscience majors, including a course designed and are committed to searching for ever-better ways to engage students for pre-service elementary teachers and workshops for in-service in the wonders of biology. teachers. She also developed an investigative laboratory curriculum for general biology. Dr. Dickey is the author of Laboratory Investigations for Biology, 2nd Edition, and is a coauthor of Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, 7th Edition.

Other Exciting Chapter Thread Topics: Global Climate Change Cancer Athletic Endurance DNA Profiling Steroid Abuse The Deadliest Virus Controlling Your Weight Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria xviii Chapter Thread The chapter thread weaves a single compelling topic throughout the chapter. For example, here the thread is Green Energy, and you’ll find this thread consistently at the beginning, middle, and end of each chapter. Green Energy BIOLOGY AND SOCIETY BIOLOGY AND SOCIETY relates biology to your life and interests. For example, in this chapter, you’ll learn about the types of biofuels, their sources, and their everyday uses. Green Energy THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE gives you real-world examples of how the scientific method is applied. For example, in this chapter, you’ll learn how a researcher discovered which wavelengths of light are primarily responsible for photosynthesis. Green Energy EVOLUTION CONNECTION EVOLUTION CONNECTION concludes the chapter by demonstrating how the theme of evolution runs throughout all of biology. For example, in this chapter, you’ll learn how plants have adapted in different environments. xix  Orient yourself and find content Find the chapter CHAPTER 7 you want PHOTOSYNTHESIS: USING LIGHT TO MAKE FOOD The Basics of Photosynthesis Use the tabs on the Photosynthesis is a process whereby plants, algae locations of photosynthesis.

Plants and other organisms that do this leaf, and oxygen (O2) exits, by way of tiny pores called by photosynthesis—photosynthetic autotrophs—are the stomata (singular, stoma, meaning “mouth”).

In most plants, however, the leaves chloroplast—with its stacks of disks—aids its function Visual Answer: chloroplasts; stomata have the most chloroplasts (about 500,000 per square by providing a large surface area for the reactions of organizers millimeter of leaf surface) and are therefore the major photosynthesis.
