Forcourses in cell biology.
Connectingfundamental concepts across the world of the cellKnown for its strong biochemistry coverage and clear, easy-to-followexplanations and figures, Becker’s World of the Cell provides abeautifully illustrated, up-to-date introduction to cell biology concepts,processes, and applications. Informed by years of classroom experience in thecell biology course, the text features accessible and authoritativedescriptions of all major principles, as well as unique scientific insightsinto visualization and applications of cell and molecular biology. With the 10thEdition, the authors guide students to make connections throughout cellbiology, and provide questions that encourage students to practice interpretingand analyzing data. Embedded features in Pearson eText add interactivity,walking students through key figures with narrated explanations.
