Biologie für Einsteiger: Prinzipien des Lebens verstehen
Leben ist ein äußerst komplexes Phänomen und läuft doch vom winzigen Bakterium bis zum studierenden Menschen stets nach den gleichen Prinzipien ab. Die Einführung in die Biologie erschließt Kapitel für Kapitel diese grundlegenden Mechanismen und Strukturen. Mit ihrem modernen didaktischen Konzept legt die Einführung in die Biologie dabei auf völlig neue Weise den Schwerpunkt auf die Vermittlung eines wirklichen Verständnisses für die Abläufe in Zellen und Organismen.

Example text
If we were to divide 5 into 4 parts, each of the four parts would be equal to 54 . The numerator of this fraction is greater than the denominator and such a fraction is referred to as an improper fraction. When the numerator of a fraction is smaller than its denominator, the fraction is called a proper fraction. 5 1 5 4 1 4 4 is equal to 14 (because 4 = 4 + 4 and 4 = 1). Similarly, 53 can be written as 123 . Both 114 and 123 are referred to as mixed numbers because they are a combination of an integer and a fraction.
16 Chapter 1 • Basic arithmetic skills In the model shown in Fig. 3, the numeric key pad for each integer 10–92 is shown at the bottom left and symbols for arithmetic operations 1 + - * , 2 are placed to the right of these. The ‘ = ’ symbol will give the answer on the display once the calculation has been entered. Indices are entered using the ‘x ’ function. After a numerical value of the base is entered, the ‘x ’ button is pressed followed by the power to which the number should be raised. The decimal point is used when entering decimal numbers.
