Molecular Biology of the Cell, Fifth Edition: The Problems Book 5th Edition

This was a required purchase for my Molecular Cell Biology course, which I am currently enrolled (Undergraduate class). Most of the problems that are in this book are heavily orientated around conceptual ideas rather than specific nitty gritty details. This is great because our professor assigns us the questions that will be on the problems test, but with the chance to have the question worded slightly different to affect the answer (we are not supposed to memorize the answer, rather understand the concepts that are be questioned).The solutions DVD that comes with the book is really nice and offers an easily searchable layout to find the chapters answers that you are looking for. Everything is explained very nicely and I very rarely find myself having to go back to the book for clarification for the answer's reasoning. This is what makes this book deserve five out of five stars.I would recommend this book to any one of my colleges, however they probably already have it.

I purchased this book because my cell bio professor said he was going to be using it for in class work. I am a grad student majoring in cell biology and I have enjoyed both the problems book and the text that accompanies it. The layout is organized in a way that it is easy to find what your looking for, and the videos, problems and answer explanations on the CD that comes with both books (the problems book and the text book) are extremely helpful.I would definately recommend these books to someone interested in cell biology. It is as up to date as it can be with regards to new developments in the field (things are discovered and changed almost everyday in cell biology), but the book provides extensive background information as well as detailed accounts of developments, both new and old, contributions to the field and additional resources.

Una gran obra a gran precio, como nuevo. Llegó muy rápido, a pesar de ser a otro país. Muy recomendable tanto el libro como el vendedor (booksbasket)

I bought this new because my cell/ mol. bio recommend this book, as well as some friends whom already pass the course. The language is pretty easy to comprehend, even for a new grad student like me. The pictures and colors are great, which won my heartI also like the table of content which is laid out in sentences that summarize the content.

I had to purchase it for a college course. I wish I did not have to buy it, but found it a little helpful but not much. It is just very time consuming. If you don't have time to work on it, and you are not required to buy it, I would say save yourself the extra cash:)

Taking cellular biology, I was needing a source of extra questions. This book asked questions that aligned with my class, and provided good examples. It is an excellent resource for those taking cell bio, and not to difficult to read. I would recommend it.

This is a great book, and gets better with each edition. If you are taking cell biology out of MBOTC, and don't have this book, you're playing with one hand tied behind your back. And if you're just reading MBOTC for fun, get this book, do the problems, and you'll learn more than you would in many University level cell biology courses.

I would like to buy the book, but I bought only the problems book because I decided study by myself. It is a awesome book. The questions in this book makes me think beyond the matter of molecular biology. It is a book well prepared. I totally recommend !!!!
