Cell: A Molecular Approach

By: Geoffrey M CooperContributor(s): COOPER (Geoffrey M)Material type: TextTextLanguage: English Publisher: New York Oxford University Press 2019Edition: 8Description: xxi,742 p. PB 27x21 cmISBN: 9781605358635Subject(s): Molecular BiologyDDC classification: 574.88 Summary: The Cell: A Molecular Approach is the only one-semester introduction to cell biology text built around learning objectives, and the only text to incorporate in-text and online data analysis problems. Written by an experienced author and instructor, the unique four-part structure of this text provides comprehensive coverage, from fundamental theory through to cutting-edge research The focus is on the molecular biology of cells as a unifying theme, with topics such as developmental biology, the nervous system, the immune system, and plant biology being discussed as examples of more general principles Written in an efficient and compact style, a broad range of material is covered in a direct and pedagogically approachable manner An extensive range of learning features is provided to help students to identify key points, to comprehend illustrations, and to learn about the broader context The art program appears nearly 3-dimensional, clarifying content and allowing students to visualize movement Through Data Analysis Problems and self-test questions, students are encouraged to synthesize knowledge and apply what they've learned Ideally suited to first year undergraduates, this book enables students to master the material in its entirety in one semester, rather than sampling a small fraction from a much larger text Through Data Analysis Problems and self-test questions, students are encouraged to synthesize knowledge and apply what they've learned The art program appears nearly 3-dimensional, clarifying content and allowing students to visualize movement Table of Contents Part I: Fundamentals and Foundations Chapter 1. Introduction to Cells and Cell Research Chapter 2. Molecules and Membranes Chapter 3. Bioenergetics and Metabolism Chapter 4. Fundamentals of Molecular Biology Chapter 5. Genomics, Proteomics, and Systems Biology Part II: The Flow of Genetic Information Chapter 6. Genes and Genomes Chapter 7. Replication, Maintenance, and Rearrangements of Genomic DNA Chapter 8.
