N2  - Explains the chemistry and physics of organic molecules, which initiate processes within tiny cells that evolve into amazingly complex plants and animals. Discussed are methods to use dto explore the structures and  behavior of DNA, RNA, and proteins in addition to the basic concepts needed to understand the field.Shows how and why scinetists study biological molecules, including how they are built, how they interact, and what roles they play in the formation of cells and organisms. The volume includes information on: a cell's architecture, communication between and inside cells, disease and the molecualr age, how cells access and use hereditary information, the immune system, microscopy, the ohysics and chemistry  of creating life, and the structure and function of DNA and RNA. Contains 40 color photographs and four - color fine illustrations, sidebars, chronology. glossary, a detailed list of print and INternet resources, and an index
