Connecting fundamental concepts across the world of the cell

Known for its strong biochemistry coverage and clear, easy-to-follow explanations and figures, Becker's World of the Cell provides a beautifully illustrated, up-to-date introduction to cell biology concepts, processes, and applications. Informed by years of classroom experience in the cell biology course, the text features accessible and authoritative descriptions of all major principles, as well as unique scientific insights into visualisation and applications of cell and molecular biology. With the 10th Edition, the authors guide students to make connections throughout cell biology, and provide questions that encourage students to practice interpreting and analysing data.

Mastering with Pearson eText gives you access to the Mastering platform plus the eText app, personalisation with notes and highlights, integrated videos, animations, and practice questions, and links from Mastering for quick help.

To access Mastering you need a Course ID from your instructor.
