Description

We humans are insatiably curious creatures who can't help wondering how things work — starting with our own bodies.

Humans are part of the natural world, and like all living things, use resources from the environment and produce wastes. If these four conditions are met, then the new generation of individuals will be different from the original generation in the frequency and distribution of traits, which is pretty much the definition of biological evolution. p>

  • Get down to basics — master the fundamentals, from understanding what biologists study to how living things are classified
  • The chemistry of life — find out what you need to know about atoms, elements, molecules, compounds, acids, bases, and more
  • Conquer and divide — discover the ins and outs of asexual and sexual reproduction, including cell division and DNA replication

Jump into the gene pool — grasp how proteins make traits happen, and easily understand DNA transcription, RNA processing, translation, and gene regulation. p>\n\n

    The muscular and skeletal systems work together to allow movement.

    Biostatisticians—analysts of biological data—are charged with finding answers to some of the world's most pressing health questions: how safe or effective are drugs hitting the market today? While this version features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product.

    Absorption of nutrients in the digestive system occurs through the cells of the small intestine. remember Everything an organism’s body does happens because its cells make those actions happen, whether that organism is a single-celled E. p>\n

    Offspring must inherit some characteristics from their parents. Here it is, plain and simple: DNA determines your traits because it contains the instructions for the worker molecules (proteins) that make your traits happen.

    Cheat Sheets, and helpful tables and diagrams, it cuts right to the chase with fast-paced, easy-to-absorb explanations of the life processes common to all organisms. Understanding molecular and cell biology entails knowing the four groups of macromolecules; the processes of central dogma and cellular respiration; and essential components of eukaryotic cells. p>

      Cells do mitosis when they are going to make an exact copy of themselves for asexual reproduction, growth, or tissue repair. Life is all around you, from invisible microbes and green plants to the other animals with whom you share the Earth.
