Title overview

For courses in cell biology.

Connecting fundamental concepts across the world of the cell

Known for its strong biochemistry coverage and clear, easy-to-followexplanations and figures, Becker’s World of the Cell provides abeautifully illustrated, up-to-date introduction to cell biology concepts, processes, and applications. Informed by years of classroom experience in the cell biology course, the text features accessible and authoritative descriptions of all major principles, as well as unique scientific insights into visualization and applications of cell and molecular biology. With the 10thEdition, the authors guide students to make connections throughout cell biology, and provide questions that encourage students to practice interpreting and analyzing data. Embedded features in Pearson eText add interactivity, walking students through key figures with narrated explanations.
