This seems excessively complicated

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Eukaryotic cells are doing entirely too much.At any given moment, they're reading DNA, making RNA, building proteins, producing ATP, transporting cargo, sending signals, recycling old parts, maintaining chemical gradients, and occasionally copying themselves from scratch.And somehow, this became you.Eukaryotic Cells: This Seems Excessively Complicated takes readers inside the microscopic machinery of plant and animal cells and explains what all those membranes, organelles, tubes, compartments, and suspiciously independent mitochondria are actually doing.With colorful illustrations, accurate science, and an appropriate amount of sarcasm, readers will explore the nucleus, plasma membrane, ribosomes, rough and smooth ER, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton, vesicles, chloroplasts, central vacuoles, and more.Along the way, they'll see how cells make and secrete proteins, produce ATP through cellular respiration, divide through mitosis, transport materials, maintain their internal environment, and coordinate an astonishing number of processes without a tiny manager standing in the nucleus shouting instructions.Perfect for curious readers, biology and microbiology students, homeschoolers, science-loving adults, or anyone who has ever stared at a cell diagram and thought: "There is absolutely no reason this needed this many parts."The science is real.The cells are complicated.The organelles are trying their best.Welcome to the eukaryotic cell.
