Description
This second edition retains the outstanding features of the previous edition: integration of structure and function; topics. Treatment flows from a survey of members to the role of membranes in cellular energetics, the utilization of energy in synthesis, and the main result of synthesis: cellular reproduction. New features of this second edition include complete revision and expansion of the membrane and cell surface sections, a new unit on motility that includes chapters on microtubule-based motility and microfilament-based motility, and more emphasis on biochemistry than the first edition. A selection of 500 micrographs and diagrams is included. This book should be of interest to degree and diploma students on courses in cell biology.
