Ultimately, energy flows from the sun to plants, to organisms that eat other organisms, and then back out to the atmosphere (and ultimately outer space) as heat. We humans are insatiably curious creatures who can't help wondering how things work-starting with our own bodies. Through genetics, you can understand why your skin is a certain color or why some traits seem to run in your family. p>

Pezzullo, PhD, has held faculty appointments in the departments of biomathematics and biostatistics, pharmacology, nursing, and internal medicine at Georgetown University.Microbiology For Dummies (9781119544425) was previously published as Microbiology For Dummies (9781118871188). Plants make your food and provide you with oxygen, microbes break down dead matter and recycle materials that all living things need, and insects pollinate the plants you rely on for food. From identifying the structures and functions of plants and animals to grasping the crucial discoveries in evolutionary, reproductive, and ecological biology, this easy-to-follow guide lets you skip the suffering and score high at exam time. Microbes are the tools that allow us to engineer hardier crops, create better medicines, and fuel our technology in sustainable ways.
