内容简介
Your hands-on study guide to the inner world of the cell
Need to get a handle on molecular and cell biology? Thiseasy-to-understand guide explains the structure and function of thecell and how recombinant DNA technology is changing the face ofscience and medicine. You discover how fundamental principles andconcepts relate to everyday life. Plus, you get plenty of studytips to improve your grades and score higher on exams!
Explore the world of the cell — take a tour inside the structureand function of cells and see how viruses attack and destroythem
Understand the stuff of life (molecules) — get up to speed on thestructure of atoms, types of bonds, carbohydrates, proteins, DNA,RNA, and lipids
Watch as cells function and reproduce — see how cellscommunicate, obtain matter and energy, and copy themselves forgrowth, repair, and reproduction
Make sense of genetics — learn how parental cells organize theirDNA during sexual reproduction and how scientists can predictinheritance patterns
Decode a cell's underlying programming — examine how DNA is readby cells, how it determines the traits of organisms, and how it'sregulated by the cell
