Jones, Phill, 1953-
Cell structure, processes, and reproduction by Phill Jones. - New York : Chelsea House, 2011. - 123 p. : col. ill. ; 25 cm. - Cells, the building blocks of life .
Includes bibliographical references (p.111-116) and index.
Introduction to cells -- Information transfer within a cell -- Control of gene expression -- Cellular metabolism -- Cell communication -- Cell communication successes -- Cell reproduction and cell death -- Cancer : unrestrained cell division.
Cells are considered one of the most basic units of life, yet their structure, processes, and reproduction is intricate and complex. From plasma membranes of cell organelles to the macromolecules that are the brick and mortar of a cell, structure is an important aspect to maintain the life processes of a cell. Some of these processes, including transfer of information from DNA to RNA to protein and the control of gene expressions, are necessary functions that aid in cell reproduction. In Cell Structure, Processes, and Reproduction, readers will explore how the major characteristics of a cell.
