Abstract
Thrive in Cell Biology first of all introduces cell biology. It then looks at methods of studying cell biology and biological membranes. After that, it turns to the structure and activities of prokaryotic cells and the molecular biology of the prokaryotes. The nucleus is also considered, as is the cytosol and cytoskeleton. After that, the text looks at the endoplasmic reticulum and the golgi apparatus. Other chapters examine chloroplast, photosynthesis, mitochondria, hydrogenosomes, and mitosomes. The second part of the book is about the cellular environment, and chapters in this part look at eukaryotic cell walls and extracellular matrix and connective tissues. The next part of the book is about cell integration and the life cycle. This part considers cell signalling, the eukaryotic cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis, and cell death. The last part of the book is about viruses.
