This course is designed for students who want to learn about and appreciate basic biological topics while studying the smallest units of biology: molecules and cells. Molecular and cellular biology is a dynamic discipline. There are thousands of opportunities within the medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and industrial fields. In addition to preparing you for a diversity of career paths, understanding molecular and cell biology will help you make sound decisions that can benefit your diet and health. Our writers, contributors, and editors are highly educated in sciences and humanities, with extensive classroom teaching and research experience. They are experts on preparing students for standardized tests, as well as undergraduate and graduate admissions coaching. Take a look at the table of contents: Chapter 1. Why Study Cell and Molecular Biology? Chapter 2: The Study of Evolution Chapter 3: What is Cell Biology? Chapter 4: Genetics and Our Genetic Blueprints Chapter 5: Getting Down with Atoms Chapter 6.

At the very least, you would think that if I was going to write a textbook, I should write one in an area that really needs one instead of a subject that already has multiple excellent and definitive books. So, why write this book, then?
This book offers a balanced and integrated treatment of molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry. The central topics of molecular biology are included, including DNA structure, messenger RNA gene structure...
Cell and Molecular Biology
Throughout the book, these topics are linked to other basic medical sciences, such as pharmacology, physiology, pathology, immunology, microbiology, and histology, for a truly integrated approach.
