Exam Preparation

Including 4,000 clear and concise entries, this book covers all the commonly encountered terms and concepts in biology, biophysics, and biochemistry, as well as terms from medicine and paleontology taking into account the recent advances in these fields. 

Students in biology will find this site useful for information on molecular biology. At the bottom of the main chapters, you will find links to relevant documentation.

Accessible via the Internet, the American Board’s Biology Refresher Course contains more than 300 pages of material and was designed to help you review your knowledge for the biology exam. The course is self-paced, allowing you to dedicate more time to material that needs intense review and skip over material you already know. The course incorporates animated tutorials and activities, chapter quizzes, detailed lessons and illustrations, and a video demonstration component.

Enrolled candidates can access the course through http://www.abcte.org/courses/biology/index.html using their ABCTE username and password.

This site contains information and resources for cell and molecular biologists.

A clear and easygoing history of genetics, from Mendel through genome sequencing.

This is a highly condensed review of cell and molecular biology with a very strong emphasis on the molecular biological aspects of disease.

Provides students with a concise, structured treatment of the key topics. Covers cells and macromolecules, protein structure, DNA replication, regulation of transcription in prokaryotes and more.

MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of course materials used at MIT. The MIT Biology Department core courses all cover the same core material which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. This course features a complete set of video lectures.

This Schaum's Outline is a succinct overview of molecular and cell biology. It will supplement any molecular biology course or provide the foundation needed for advanced courses. The text material is presented in a question and answer format; each concept is explained as an answer to a specific question.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Biology follows a standard biology course curriculum that begins with life, cells, and molecular structure and ends with evolution, ecosystems, and ecology.

In The Way of the Cell, one of the world's most respected microbiologists focuses on microorganisms -- in particular, the supremely well-researched bacterium E. coli -- because the cell is the simplest level of organization that manifests all the features of the phenomenon of life.

What is Life presents conceptual thinking in biology and includes such resources as web lectures, highlighted issues in biology and a glossary.
