Download or read book Cells for Kids Science Book for Children written by Nishi Singh and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cells are the building blocks of all living things. They are called "cells" because Robert Hooke, the person who discovered the cells when looking under the microscope thought that it looked like the "empty rooms" of a monastery where monks used to sleep in. Biology is the study of living organisms and the research of the science behind living things. Biology is the core that unites all other disciplines and sub-disciplines of biological science. This starts with the understanding of the cell. Hence, the study of biology is vital for our children. This book, "Cells For Kids" is a book designed for children with diagrams so that they can learn everything about animal and plant cells from the start. As parents, we must ingrain their minds and awaken their curiosity so that they can be ready for this complex and rapidly evolving subject area. Most biology books, be it for children or adults start with a chapter on the cell. It is here that all biological processes take place. Hence it is vital that we as parents, teach our children about the cell as early as possible. Some may be able to learn while some may not but at least it's a step in the right direction. I wrote this book for my own children and I can see that they are now curious about what a cell is and what exactly does it does? Half of my job is done; this will save me a lot of heartache later on when I am trying to trying to teach them biology. My ultimate aim would be to get them to study science when they grow up and this book would be one of their stepping stones. Study of biology will prepare children for a range of careers where they can make a difference in the world. Here's what's covered in this book about cells. I have included questions after some chapters for parents to ask to ensure kids are learning before moving on to the next chapter. There is a quiz at the end of the book. The chapters: 1. What is a cell? (This chapter defines what a cell is) 2. Who discovered the cell? (Describes exactly how Robert Hooke discovered the cell and what he saw under the microscope) 3. What are cells made of? (Describes what the cell is made of - organelles and cytoplasm) 4. Why cells are mostly made of water? (A good question and a difficult one to answer) 5. How big is a cell? (Cells come in different shapes and sizes, get to learn the size of the cell) 6. How many cells are in the human body? (The body is made of cells and children will learn how many cells we have) 7. How many different types of cells are there? (Learn about the different types of cells namely; eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells) 8. The animal cell (Learn about the animal cell and its various structures with a labelled diagram) 9. Parts and organelles of animal cells (Describes each organelles of the animals cells) 10. The plant cell (Learn about plant cells with a labelled diagram) 11. The parts and organelles of plant cells (Describes parts and organelles of the plant cells) 12. Animal cells and plant cells - The Difference (Goes through the many differences between the animal and plant cells) 13. What are tissues, organs and organ systems? (Cells form tissues, which then form organs and then organs systems) 14. Cellular division - Cell cycle (There are two types of cells (1) Mitosis and (2) Meiosis) 15. 10 facts about the cell (Some facts about the cell) 16. Quiz - What can you remember? (A quiz at the end of the book)

Download or read book Concepts of Biology written by Samantha Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of Biology is designed for the single-semester introduction to biology course for non-science majors, which for many students is their only college-level science course. As such, this course represents an important opportunity for students to develop the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to make informed decisions as they continue with their lives. Rather than being mired down with facts and vocabulary, the typical non-science major student needs information presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. Even more importantly, the content should be meaningful. Students do much better when they understand why biology is relevant to their everyday lives. For these reasons, Concepts of Biology is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand.We also strive to show the interconnectedness of topics within this extremely broad discipline. In order to meet the needs of today's instructors and students, we maintain the overall organization and coverage found in most syllabi for this course. A strength of Concepts of Biology is that instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Concepts of Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand--and apply--key concepts.

Download or read book Plant Cell Organelles written by J Pridham and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Cell Organelles contains the proceedings of the Phytochemical Group Symposium held in London on April 10-12, 1967. Contributors explore most of the ideas concerning the structure, biochemistry, and function of the nuclei, chloroplasts, mitochondria, vacuoles, and other organelles of plant cells. This book is organized into 13 chapters and begins with an overview of the enzymology of plant cell organelles and the localization of enzymes using cytochemical techniques. The text then discusses the structure of the nuclear envelope, chromosomes, and nucleolus, along with chromosome sequestration and replication. The next chapters focus on the structure and function of the mitochondria of higher plant cells, biogenesis in yeast, carbon pathways, and energy transfer function. The book also considers the chloroplast, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi bodies, and the microtubules. The final chapters discuss protein synthesis in cell organelles; polysomes in plant tissues; and lysosomes and spherosomes in plant cells. This book is a valuable source of information for postgraduate workers, although much of the material could be used in undergraduate courses.

Download or read book Explaining Reproduction written by Mike Lattner and published by Wellington, Ont. : Ross Lattner Educational Consultants. This book was released on 2004 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's do more than just memorize stuff ! Once again, RossLattner IntuitivScience represents introductory cell biology in a highly pictorial manner. Using very simple, easy-to-reproduce diagrams, students can quickly accomplish a solid understanding of the "how-and-why" of cellular reproduction. In this book, we explore how multicellular organisms grow, repair tissue, and pass on hereditary material by means of cell division and differentiation. The emphasis is on the genetic information and its faithful and complete transmission between generations. We construct a simple model of the structure and role of DNA, how it is translated into protein, and how it is combined in sexual reproduction. As in all of the Ross Lattner IntuitivScience series, diagrams are an important mode of expression. Parents and teachers, you get one half of the book! We provide solid pedagogical supports, recipes, and methods of presentation. The unit itself is subdivided into four major sections. Each section will take a little more than one week to complete. 1. Structure and function of the plant and animal cell. Basic use of the microscope to observe the plant and animal cells. This might be review for many students. 2. The observable features of cellular reproduction, which are divided into two distinct phases. The first phase is cell reproduction, which involves the whole life cycle of one cell. The second observable phase is nuclear reproduction, which is widely known as mitosis. 3. Reproduction at the molecular level. What's going on down there during mitosis and meiosis? What can go wrong? 4. Laboratory activities in which students examine some forms of reproduction. At the end of each section is a thorough quiz
