The Cell Place offers access to study, research, and test preparation tools developed specifically for the Web and coordinated with your textbook. These diverse resources are created by a team of educators to help students master core course material. Interactive learning activities and on-line quizzes provide immediate feedback to indicate where further study is needed, and the Gradebook allows both you and your instructor to track your results. In addition, reliable and frequently updated web resources are available to help with further investigations and research.
You'll find everything you need to optimize your computer for use of this web site in Site Requirements, including system requirements. Updating your Web browser and loading plug-ins will allow you to view animations and movies and complete the activities.
All the resources are created by college instructors who work closely with Benjamin Cummings's editorial and production teams to adapt the material specifically to the Web environment.
No. A textbook is a valuable, comprehensive resource for students. The learning activities on this site have been designed as a valuable supplement to the core concepts presented in your textbook. (In fact, many of our contributors are also textbook authors.) The web's interactive and media capabilities allow us to offer current research news, interactive activities, and movies, which a textbook can't offer. You'll find that this site will save you valuable time in locating relevant resources on the web.
