Already, at that time, it was possible to recognize organisms. an extraordinary variation in metabolites and To provide the biochemist with a ready over­ processes superimposed upon the basic biochem­ view of the structural diversity of animals, the book includes a simplified version of animal sys­ ical system of animals.
