Based on the 'Highlights of New Content' section, which of the following statements about updated information in Campbell Biology, Twelfth Edition, is accurate? Select all that apply

  • A: Chapter 3 introduces the discovery of carbon-based compounds on Mars, reported by NASA.
  • B: The technique of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is introduced primarily for observing dynamic cellular processes in live cells.
  • C: Chapter 3 adds coverage on the discovery of a large subsurface reservoir of liquid water on Mars.
  • D: Chapter 11 emphasizes synaptic signaling as a target for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Explanation

The text explicitly states: 'Chapter 3 also has added coverage on the discovery of a large subsurface reservoir of liquid water on Mars...' and 'In Chapter 11, the relevance of synaptic signaling is underscored by mentioning that it is a target for treatment of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.' Option A is incorrect because carbon-based compounds on Mars are in Chapter 4. Option B misrepresents the primary use of cryo-EM mentioned in the text, which is for molecular structure determination.
