Summary

A cell is the smallest unit of life that can be classified as a living thing, but it plays a large role in the biology of living organisms. The new Cells: The Building Blocks of Life set explores cells in a variety of ways—how they work, how they affect body functions and health, and how they can be used by scientists to advance medical techniques. Each title in this curriculum-based set presents a topic central to the study of biology and life science in an easy-to-understand style with thought-provoking insight and full-color photographs and illustrations.
