Description: The Facts On File Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology contains more than 2,000 entries that explain, clearly and concisely, the most relevant and frequently used terms in one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary biosciences. The dictionary is an ideal tool, articulating modern cell and molecular biology, including cell structure, molecular genetics, cell metabolism, cell physiology, and laboratory techniques. The volume is particularly useful for high school students taking courses in AP biology (notably molecules and cells) as well as for college students and researchers requiring a handy reference. More than 60 line drawings and a set of appendices (including a bibliography) help to simplify many complex concepts, and cross-references guarantee that the reader will waste no time in finding the right definition.
