| Summary |
Investigates the form in which they are packaged - the cell.. Overviews cell structure.. Begins by distinguishing prokaryotes from eukaryotes and looks at some of the key differences.. Are eukaryotes a case of cells within cells?. Certain organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts apear to bear out an ancient symbiosis.. Coverage of metabolism - anabolism - catabolism.. The technique of cell fractionation by centrifuge.. The program concludes with a lengthy animated tour of the inside of a typical eukaryotic cell.Atoms Alive is a series about DNA and genetics, which has been produced to support the biology curriculum for upper secondary students.It seems incredible that all life on earth comes from the information held in a single kind of molecule. DNA is an immense molecule that can direct the fantastically complex chemistry of the cell, reproduce itself, and even self-modify to take advantage of new conditions. You could say that all the different forms of life, from earliest to modern, are simply the different disguises of DNA as it has tried out many containers for itself. How is it conceivable that a molecule made of only four types of building blocks can create such sophistication? |
