Welcome to AP Biology Book 1: Foundations of Life – Molecules, Membranes, and Metabolism. This volume serves as the starting point for mastering the core principles of biology by exploring life at its most fundamental level—molecules and cells.
Aligned with the AP Biology 2025 Course and Exam Description (CED), this book guides you through the essential biochemical and cellular foundations that underpin all biological processes. You will explore the structure and function of biologically important molecules, the dynamic nature of the cell membrane, and the mechanisms of transport, enzyme activity, and energy conversion within cells. Key processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration are examined in depth, emphasizing their roles in energy flow and matter cycling within living systems.
Let’s begin by unlocking the chemistry behind life itself.
