Essential Cell Biology, Fifth Edition (2019) by Bruce Alberts, Karen Hopkin, Alexander Johnson, David Morgan, Martin Raff, Keith Roberts, and Peter Walter is one of the most widely adopted introductions to modern cell biology. From W. W. Norton & Company, this acclaimed text presents the fundamental concepts of cell biology with the clarity, scientific rigor, and pedagogical elegance that have made the Alberts family of textbooks a global standard.
The fifth edition reflects the latest discoveries across all areas of the cell — from molecular structure through cellular function, genome biology, and the behavior of cells in tissues. The authors' signature "understand rather than memorize" approach helps students build a conceptual framework for cellular life that supports advanced study in biology, biochemistry, genetics, and the biomedical sciences.
Topics covered: cells as the fundamental units of life; chemical components and the building blocks of cells; energy, catalysis, and biosynthesis; protein structure and function; DNA, chromosomes, and genomes; DNA replication, repair, and recombination; gene expression — from DNA to protein; control of gene expression; how cells obtain energy from food; mitochondria and chloroplasts; membrane structure and transport; cell communication and signaling; the cytoskeleton; the cell cycle and cell division; sexual reproduction and genetics; cells in their social context and tissue organization.
Essential for: introductory cell biology, general biology majors, biochemistry prerequisite courses, molecular biology, genetics, pre-med and pre-dental students, MCAT preparation, nursing prerequisite programs, and undergraduate biology majors at colleges and universities worldwide.
