Cells Molecules and Mechanisms Eric Wong - 1 online resource - Open textbook library. .
Anatomy of a Cell -- Basic Cell Chemistry -- Bioenergetics -- Membranes -- Metabolism 1 -- Metabolism 2 -- DNA -- Transcription -- Gene Regulation -- Translation -- ER, Golgi, and Vesicles -- Cytoskeleton -- ECM and Adhesion -- Cell Communication -- Cell Cycle -- Advanced Topics
Yet another cell and molecular biology book? At the very least, you would think that if I was going to write a textbook, I should write one in an area that really needs one instead of a subject that already has multiple excellent and definitive books. So, why write this book, then? First, it's a course that I have enjoyed teaching for many years, so I am very familiar with what a student really needs to take away from this class within the time constraints of a semester. Second, because it is a course that many students take, there is a greater opportunity to make an impact on more students' pocketbooks than if I were to start off writing a book for a highly specialized upper- level course. And finally, it was fun to research and write, and can be revised easily for inclusion as part of our next textbook, High School Biology.
