Product Information

Migration Tool to move your assignments from your previous Sapling Course into your new Achieve course Appendix A Common Abbreviations in the Biochemical Research Literature Appendix B Abbreviated Solutions to Problems Glossary Credits Index New medical section on the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids in cardiovascular disease The ‘Interactive Metabolic Map’ allows students to navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tours take students through the pathways step-by-step, helping them to both visualize concepts in isolation and understand how concepts are connected. By examining the pathways in this way, students are better equipped to understand the meaning of those connections. Mitochondrial Genes: Their Origin and the Effects of MutationsPhotosynthesis: Harvesting Light Energy

Animated Techniques are short animations of laboraatory techniques. Designed to provide students with an overview of protocol, these animations give students a conceptual understanding of what is happening at the chemical level.
