A proven teaching aid for the Third EditionThe Problems Book is designed to help students appreciate the ways in which experiments and simple calculations lead to an understanding of how cells work. Each chapter is subdivided in the same way as Molecular Biology of the Cell and provides a rehearsal of key terms, tests for understanding basic concepts, and research-based problems. Chapters 6 through 19, from "Basic Genetic Mechanisms" to "Cell Junctions, Cell Adhesion, and the Extracellular Matrix" are covered in this way. -- Completely reorganized to match the Third Edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell. -- Contains 50 new problems, including an entirely new chapter on genetic engineering methods. -- Gives detailed answers for half of the problems to help students learn how to analyze experimental observations and draw conclusions from them. -- Comes with a special booklet, given to teachers on request, that provides answers to the other problems. -- Provides unanswered problems that are useful for homework assignments and as exam questions.

Publication Date: 21 Mar 2002 | ISBN-10: 0849371619 | ISBN-13: 978-0815340720 | Edition: 4 This comprehensive text reference in cell biology distills fundamental concepts from an expansive field, crafting a coherent framework for non-expert readers. Written in clear, engaging language and enhanced by beautiful illustrations, it conveys the excitement of modern biology. The Fourth Edition reflects the latest understanding of cell biology as of Autumn 2001, while also addressing the vast unknowns that remain. Retaining hallmark features from previous editions, the book boasts a clean, single-column layout and a consistent art program with over 1,600 photographs, electron micrographs, and original drawings. Each chapter begins with clear concept headings and includes extensive references, all subjected to a rigorous revision process that ensures a unified authorial voice. Key features include contextualization of current hot topics such as genomics, protein structure, and stem cell research, along with a focus on new genomic data. Two chapters dedicated to methods discuss the latest tools and techniques, while new content on "Pathogens, Infection, and Innate Immunity" is introduced. Additionally, a Cell Biology Interactive CD-ROM accompanies every copy.
