Cells: The Building Blocks of Life

This video takes a close-up look at the lowest common denominator of all life: the cell. It illustrates essential cellular processes -- transportation of materials, communication, energy transfer, protein-building, waste disposal, movement, and the all-important mitosis and meiosis -- as well as key cellular landmarks like the nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, the Golgi complex, the endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes. Special attention is given to recent advances in biotechnology. A Cambridge Educational Production
