Cell Structure and Function: A Closer Look 

This examines three main activities of the cell: energy storage and release, protein synthesis, and cell reproduction. Students take a closer look at important organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, and the roles they play in cell metabolism. They also learn about proteins, amino acids, ribosomes, DNA, RNA, genes, chromosomes, transcription and translation. Mitosis is clearly defined and illustrated. The program is divided into three segments, so that teachers can easily pause to review key concepts or show the video in three separate class periods.
