Story4.5 out of 5 stars 746
We use DNA routinely - to cure diseases, solve crimes, and reunite families. Yet we've known about it for only 60 years. And what we're continuing to learn about it every day has the potential to transform our health, our nutrition, our society, and our future. But what, exactly is DNA, the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms?

This serves as the second book in the Basics of Biology series. In this segment, the functions of membranes are explored. With regards to fully understanding biological organisms, the cell membrane is essential to developing an understanding of how cell function to control the substance that enter and exit them along with they way in which they interact with their environment.
