Allen and Cowling start with the simple \"prokaryotic\" cell--cells with no nucleus--and show how the bodies of more complex plants and animals consist of billions of \"eukaryotic\" cells, of varying kinds, adapted to fill different roles--red blood cells, muscle cells, branched neurons. The authors also show that each cell is an astonishingly complex chemical factory, the activities of which we have only begun to unravel in the past fifty years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terence Allen, Graham Cowling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199578753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199578757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 4.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2012","brand":"Terence Allen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993939280127,"sku":"9780199578757","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_121bcbde-76e6-4a0e-9147-88d09b610e0f.jpg?v=1683327173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cell-terence-allen-9780199578757","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
