Cells and Cell Function

Every living thing from humans to corn stalks to bacteria are made up of cells or single cells. These tiny units not only perform vital functions that make all life possible, but also contain the hereditary information for regulating cell functions and for creating the next generation of cells. This book delves into the inner workings of these tiny, but complex foundations of life. Colorful and detailed illustrations and photographs support the fascinating narrative, along with interesting sidebars and activities.
