The World of the Cell, Fifth Edition combines the most readable text and effective learning package available for beginning students in cell biology. With its hallmark emphasis on cell biology, the text guides students through the basics of cell structure, function, and mechanisms. The World of the Cell, Fifth Edition continues the tradition of previous editions widely praised for covering some of the most difficult concepts - bioenergetics, metabolism, enzyme kinetics, thermodynamics, membrane transport, cell signaling, regulatory mechanisms, transcription and translation, signal transduction, and DNA replication and recombination - at the right level.

 

In this edition, the authors integrate coverage of modern molecular techniques and tools and recent advances without losing students in overwhelming detail that is typically covered in a separate molecular biology course.
