For courses in biochemistry.
Engage students in biochemistry visually and through real-world applications
Biochemistry: Concepts and Connections engages students with a unique approach to visualization, synthesis of complex topics, and connections to the real world. The author team builds quantitative reasoning skills and provides students with a rich, chemical perspective on biological processes. The text emphasizes fundamental concepts and connections, showing how biochemistry relates to practical applications in medicine, agricultural sciences, environmental sciences, and forensics.
The newly revised 2nd Edition integrates even more robust biochemistry-specific content in Mastering
™ Chemistry, creating an interactive experience for today's students. New Threshold Concept Tutorials help students master the most challenging and critical ideas in biochemistry, while Interactive Case Studies connect course material to the real world by having students explore actual scientific data from primary literature.
Mastering Chemistry is not included. Students, if Mastering Chemistry is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. Mastering Chemistry should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
Reach every student by pairing this text with Mastering Chemistry
Pearson Mastering Chemistry is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Pearson Mastering Chemistry personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.
