Synopsis

Cells are considered one of the most basic units of life, yet their structure, processes, and reproduction are intricate and complex. From plasma membranes to cell organelles to the macromolecules that are the brick and mortar of a cell, structure is an important aspect to maintain the life processes of a cell. Some of these processes, including transfer of information from DNA to RNA to protein and the control of gene expressions, are necessary functions that aid in cell reproduction. In Cell Structure, Processes, and Reproduction, readers will explore how the major characteristics of a cell are crucial in enabling these tiny units to carry out specialized functions in multicellular and single-celled organisms.

From the Back Cover

A cell is the smallest unit of life that can be classified as a living thing, but its role in biology is huge. Cells: The Building Blocks of Life explores cells in a variety of ways–how they work, how they effect body functions and health, and how they can be used by scientists to advance medical techniques.

Middle school and high school students and science teachers will enjoy this comprehensive set.

The titles in this set present topics central to the study of biology and life science in an easy-tounderstand style with thought-provoking insight and full-color images.
