The text and illustrations of this biology textbook have undergone thorough revision and updating to provide more appropriate material for school and private students leading to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Senior Secondary School Examinations as well as the GCE examinations. Chapters 1 to 6 cover some aspects of the cell, diversity of living things, structure and life processes in selected organisms, the structure and mode of life of some economically important insects, and some aspects of ecology. Chapters 7 to 11 cover diversity of living things and the cell in greater details, structure and life processes in further organisms, further aspects of ecology, and aspects of human biological environment. The range of activities and tasks provide the framework for teaching and learning of science through experimental and theory-based work. Written in line with the demands of senior secondary science syllabuses and examinations, the book follows a pattern of specific learning objectives and is supported by labelled diagrams, illustrations, tables and photographs.
The text incorporates the latest scientific and technical knowledge and provides the theory and practice required by both the teacher and the student. A range of multiple-choice and essay-type questions are also included at the end of each chapter, allowing for continuous assessment. Answers to multiple-choice questions and numerical problems in the self-check are provided at the end of the book.
