Since it embraces all living things, it is perhaps the most fascinating branch of science. The new inventions and discoveries have helped greatly in continuously testing and searching the truth and unfolding the mysteries of life whether plants, animals or microscopic life. During the past some years, biology has shifted its focus from the structure of living organisms to looking more at how they work and function. These advances in biological knowledge raise new issues. The present book will help you to understand and contribute to the biological revolution which is taking place in our lives. This book has been revised and upgraded in accordance with the latest syllabus of Biology prescribed by the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi. The salient features of the book : * Written in a very simple, easy-to-understand language, and in a pointwise sequential manner. * The prescribed syllabus has been strictly followed with special emphasis on easy explanation of concepts with key facts. * The text is complemented with well-illustrated, multi-coloured, properly-labelled diagrams which inspire the students to draw themselves. * Text and illustrations contribute to the basic understanding and appreciation of the field of biology.
