Animal Physiology
von A. Malcolm Campbell, Christopher J. Paradise
2016 Kartoniert, 90 Seiten, 229mm x 152mm x 5mm, Sprache(n): eng This book examines four examples of animal physiology that illustrate emergent properties in whole organisms. The first example shows how mammals coordinate the activity of all their cells using a daily rhythm. The second case expl…

Molecular Structure and Function
von A. Malcolm Campbell, Christopher J. Paradise
2016 Kartoniert, 58 Seiten, 229mm x 152mm x 4mm, Sprache(n): eng One of the overarching themes in nature is that form meets function, meaning that the shape of an object determines how well the object can perform its function. This book begins with some basics about specificity of shapes and the…

Cellular Consequences of Evolution
von A. Malcolm Campbell, Christopher J. Paradise
2016 Kartoniert, 56 Seiten, 229mm x 152mm x 3mm, Sprache(n): eng Once the first cell arose on Earth, how did genetic diversity arise if DNA replication and cell division generate exact copies? The answer is that neither process is perfect and that changes do occur at each step. Some changes are…

Cellular Structure and Function
von A. Malcolm Campbell, Christopher J. Paradise
2016 Kartoniert, 58 Seiten, 229mm x 152mm x 4mm, Sprache(n): eng All organisms are composed of cells, but what is the definition of a cell? Can size, shape or function be used to distinguish cells from non-living biological systems such as a virus? Whatever the definition of a cell is, it can pr…
