Corrections for Biology: The Study of Life ©1999
As part of its Open Book Initiative, Pearson Education has established an Internet-based communication policy that alerts educators to any factual or typographical errors or areas of possible misunderstanding in its school programs. In accordance with this policy, Prentice Hall is alerting you to revisions made in Biology: The Study of Life ©1999.
We organized the corrections by category:
- Corrections of factual errors
- Corrections of typographical or grammatical errors
- Changes for clarification, where the original wording or art could be improved to support student understanding
Publishers typically reprint books several times over the life of a copyright. Corrections can be made in each printing. Thus, depending on which printing of Biology: The Study of Life you have, these corrections may already appear in your textbook.

"The lining of the stomach contains two types of glands. The first type, pyloric (py LOR ik) glands, secrete mucus, which covers the stomach lining and protects it from being digested. The second type, gastric (GAS trik) glands, secrete gastric juice, which has a pH of 1.5 to 2.5. The acidic pH of gastric juice is due to its high concentration of hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid kills most of the bacteria that are swallowed in food. Gastric juice also contains the digestive enzyme pepsin (PEP sin). Pepsin is secreted in an inactive form called pepsinogen (pep SIN uh jen), which is activated..." |
"The stomach lining contains three types of glands. The pyloric (pi LOR ik) glands and the cardiac gastric (GAS trik) glands secrete mucus that covers the stomach lining and protects it from being digested. The intermediate gastric glands secrete gastric juice that has a pH of 1.5 to 2.5. This pH is due to its high concentration of hydrochloric acid, which kills most of the bacteria that are swallowed in food. Gastric juice also contains the digestive enzyme pepsin (PEP sin).

"At about the time that Redi was performing his experiments, Anton van Leeuwenhoek (LAY ven huke) made the startling discovery of microorganisms in a drop of water. Soon, it was found that when hay or soil was placed in sterile water, millions of microorganisms appeared within a few hours. Here, surely, was a clear-cut case of spontaneous generation! The controversy that Redi had almost put to rest flared up again and raged for the next 200 years." |
