The Problems Book is designed to help students appreciate the ways in which experiments and simple calculations lead to an understanding of how cells work. Each chapter is subdivided in the same way as Molecular Biology of the Cell and provides a rehearsal of key terms, tests for understanding basic concepts, and research-based problems. Chapters 6 through 19, from "Basic Genetic Mechanisms" to "Cell Junctions, Cell Adhesion, and the Extracellular Matrix" are covered in this way.
-- Completely reorganized to match the Third Edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell.
-- Contains 50 new problems, including an entirely new chapter on genetic engineering methods.
-- Gives detailed answers for half of the problems to help students learn how to analyze experimental observations and draw conclusions from them.
-- Comes with a special booklet, given to teachers on request, that provides answers to the other problems.
-- Provides unanswered problems that are useful for homework assignments and as exam questions.

This review is from: Molecular Biology of the Cell 3E - The Problems Book (Paperback)
Molecular Biology of the Cell : The Problems Book is a great book for biology students as well as those interested in really learning the concepts behind the theory. This book is extremely detailed in its questions as it vigorously tests the knowledge learned from it's companion textbook, Molecular Biology of the Cell. This book has tremendously helped in my understanding of the major chapters of the main textbook (chapters 6-end). It provides a thorough breakdown on the types of questions that it asks. For example, the questions in the book are structured by True/False, matching, as well as essay formats. This provides for a varied way of learning the essential material. I highly recommend this book for those students preparing for standardized exams as well as those taking a course in molecular or cell biology.
