This volume is concerned throughout with the question of whether or not there is a regulatory role of phenolic compounds in the metabolism of plants and animals. Several such compounds are well known as hormonal mediators of metabolic events in animals; in plants, however, the metabolic roles of phenolic compounds are less well defined. As presented here-we believe for the first time this area of metabolic control is considered on a comparative basis. The similarities and differences between plant and animal systems in their phenolic constituents and in their metabolic responses to the presence of phenolics are discussed, together with a discussion of some pathological metabolic pathways. The contributors, in their consideration of physiological re lationships, were invited to speculate as well as to present estab lished data. Emphasis has been placed on the critical review and appraisal of the considered topics rather than a mere presentation of extensive individual experimental results.
This new edition introduces more problem-solving strategies and new conceptual and challenge problems. Also, each Chapter Review has been enhanced with Learning Goals to reinforce the mastery of concepts for students.
This laboratory manual contains 42 experiments for the standard sequence of topics in general, organic, and biological chemistry.
The book guides students through basic chemistry problem solving with engaging visuals and a focus on developing the math skills necessary to be successful in the course.

Essential Laboratory Manual for General, Organic and Biological Chemistry
The main objective in writing this text is to make the study of chemistry an engaging and a positive experience for students by relating the structure and behaviour of matter to real life.
The eText pages look exactly like the printed text, and include powerful interactive and customization functions. This is the product access code card for MasteringChemistry with Pearson eText and does not include the actual bound book.
Health, Environmental, and Green Chemistry Notes throughout the text relate chemistry chapters to real-life topics in health, the environment, and medicine that are interesting and motivating to students.
