This complete Test Bank for Biology: The Dynamic Science (4th Edition) by Peter J. Russell, Paul E. Hertz, and Beverly McMillan (ISBN 9780357687260) is designed to align perfectly with the textbook’s structure and scientific rigor. Ideal for instructors and students in general biology, pre-med, and life science courses, it includes assessment-ready materials such as multiple-choice, short answer, and applied reasoning questions across every chapter. Spanning molecular biology to ecosystems, this resource emphasizes critical thinking, data interpretation, and real-world biological problem-solving. The Test Bank begins with Chapter 1: Introduction to Biological Concepts and Research, then progresses into Unit 1: Molecules and Cells, covering Chapter 2: Life, Chemistry, and Water, Chapter 3: Biological Molecules, Chapter 4: Cells, Chapter 5: Membranes and Transport, Chapter 6: Energy, Enzymes, and Reactions, Chapter 7: Cellular Respiration, Chapter 8: Photosynthesis, Chapter 9: Cell Communication, and Chapter 10: Mitosis and Cell Division. Unit 2: Genetics explores heredity and molecular biology through Chapter 11: Meiosis, Chapter 12: Mendel and Inheritance, Chapter 13: Human Genetics, Chapter 14: DNA Structure and Replication, Chapter 15: Gene Expression, Chapter 16: Regulation of Gene Expression, Chapter 17: Bacterial and Viral Genetics, Chapter 18: DNA Technology, and Chapter 19: Genomes and Proteomes. Unit 3: Evolutionary Biology includes Chapter 20: Evolutionary Thought, Chapter 21: Microevolution, Chapter 22: Speciation, Chapter 23: Macroevolution, and Chapter 24: Phylogeny and Classification. Unit 4: Biodiversity covers the diversity of life forms through Chapter 25: Origin of Life, Chapter 26: Prokaryotes and Viruses, Chapter 27: Protists, Chapter 28: Seedless Plants, Chapter 29: Seed Plants, Chapter 30: Fungi, Chapter 31: Animal Phylogeny, and Chapter 32: Vertebrates and Deuterostomes. Unit 5: Plant Structure and Function contains Chapter 33: The Plant Body, Chapter 34: Transport in Plants, Chapter 35: Plant Nutrition, Chapter 36: Reproduction in Flowering Plants, and Chapter 37: Plant Responses to the Environment. Unit 6: Animal Structure and Function delivers a deep dive into systems biology with Chapter 38: Animal Organization and Physiology, Chapter 39: Neurons and Information Flow, Chapter 40: Nervous Systems, Chapter 41: Sensory Systems, Chapter 42: Endocrine System, Chapter 43: Muscles and Movement, Chapter 44: Circulation, Chapter 45: Immune System, Chapter 46: Respiratory System, Chapter 47: Digestion and Nutrition, Chapter 48: Excretion and Thermoregulation, Chapter 49: Reproduction, and Chapter 50: Development. Unit 7: Ecology and Behavior concludes the text with Chapter 51: Ecology and the Biosphere, Chapter 52: Population Ecology, Chapter 53: Community Interactions, Chapter 54: Ecosystems, Chapter 55: Biodiversity and Conservation, and Chapter 56: Animal Behavior.
