Cell Biology by
The makeup of cells is so complex that most books on the subject are mired in complicated language and details. This book offers a comprehensible yet understandable overview of the cell, how it works, its scientific history, and its function in living things. Straightforward sidebars and discernible images support this interesting journey into the cellular world.
Cells by
From insects to elephants, every living thing on this planet is made up of cells, the tiny building blocks of plant and animal life. Each cell is alive-and each has work to do! What do cells look like? How do millions and billions of cells work together to form one plant, one animal, or one human being? Guided by colorful photos, diagrams, and text, you can take a closer look at the amazing world of cell science-and see what's next.
Cell Biology by
Biologists have been studying cells since the mid-1600s, when Robert Hooke viewed a slice of cork through a microscope and coined the word "cell" to describe the walled-in spaces he saw. Most cells are invisible to the naked eye. Yet they carry out the many complex processes that make life possible. As microscopes have improved, scientists have learned more and more about cells and their organelles-the structures within cells. From the nucleus, the cell's control center, to the tiny ribosomes, which help manufacture proteins, each part of a cell plays an essential role. This book tells the story of how biologists unlocked the secrets of cells and revolutionized the way we look at living things. Book jacket.
From Cells to Systems by
Your body is made of cells that work together.
The Life of a Cell by
Using bold, colourful illustrations and lively text, this book in the Cycles of Life series teaches about the microscopic building blocks of life. It describes how cells have evolved over millions of years, and explains how they work, reproduce and find food.
Stem Cells by
One day in the future, a patient with a life-threatening disease may receive a cure that causes disease-affected cells to be replaced by healthy, young cells. This is one of the promises of stem cell research. But is stem cell research ethical? And does it cross over the moral boundaries that determine where life begins?
Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults by
Drawing from her experiences as an Indigenous scientist, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer demonstrated how all living things--from strawberries and witch hazel to water lilies and lichen--provide us with gifts and lessons every day in her best-selling book Braiding Sweetgrass. Adapted for young adults by Monique Gray Smith, this new edition reinforces how wider ecological understanding stems from listening to the earth's oldest teachers: the plants around us. With informative sidebars, reflection questions, and art from illustrator Nicole Neidhardt, Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults brings Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge, and the lessons of plant life to a new generation.
