Product Information

Medicine: Why Sailors, Explorers, and College Students Should Eat Their Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Interactive Metabolic Map allows students to navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tours take students through the pathways step-by-step, helping them to both visualize concepts in isolation and understand how concepts are connected. By examining the pathways in this way, students are better equipped to understand the meaning of those connections. Assessment questions help students solidify their understanding and provide more structure to their learning. *Metabolic Pathways include: glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid synthesis, the urea cycle, and β oxidation.

Expanded and updated section on lipid rafts and caveolae includes new material on membrane curvature and the proteins that influence it, and introduces amphitropic proteins and annular lipids Mitochondrial Genes: Their Origin and the Effects of Mutations Photosynthesis: Harvesting Light EnergyLearningCurve Adaptive Quizzing motivates reading and keeps students on pace with study with a fun game-like activity to quiz retention and understanding of concepts. The Lehninger 8e digital program builds on the focus on principles, with resources ideal for in-person lecture-based to fully online courses. New box on G proteins, proteins that regulate their GTPase activity, and the medical consequences of defective G protein function The summary of principals and the highlighting of these principals throughout the text. This is really helpful! The Boxes with additional information, particularly clinical relevance of the material. Most of my students are pre-med and it helps them engage in the material better if there is clinical relevance. The problems at the end of the chapter. These are really beneficial for the students who want to make sure they understand the material." --Robin Haynes, Harvard University

The 8th edition has been fully revised for up-to-date content, as well as to effectively support student study. Written for students learning biochemistry for the first time, the authors have identified and noted fundamental biochemistry principles throughout the text. Content has been streamlined so the text is focused on what is most important and useful to modern students and for future reference! New descriptions of volatile lipids used as signals by plants, and pigments of bird feathers derived from colored lipids in plant foodsQuestion Bank with thousands of additional questions to create an assignment from scratch or add to a curated assignment Migration Tool to move your assignments from your previous Sapling Course into your new Achieve course
