Enzymes are the workhorses of the cell and are very specific in their actions. This programme explores in detail the action of PFK, phospho fructose kinase, and explains specificity and catalysis. Uses...
When trying to understand and interpret the structure and functions of living cells and their organelles, an idea of scale is vital. This programme puts the size of cellular structures into perspective and...
Discusses how various organelles of a cell interact to form a working whole, using the chloroplast of plant cells to illustrate the process. Shows methods for isolating metabolically active chloroplasts from...
Based on research being carried out at the Developmental Biology Center, University of California at Irvine, the film discusses the development of the peripheral and central nervous system in chicks,...
Considers the mechanisms that allow cells to differentiate and interact during development to produce the shape of the adult organism. Morphogenesis, the generation of shape and form, is illustrated by...
Follows a link between the cells involved in human colour vision and a rather unusual bacterium from the Dead Sea. Dr Jim Bowmaker, Institute of Ophthalmology, London, describes the techniques for looking at...
The organisation of tissues in the reproductive system of a number of mammals, including humans, is demonstrated from histological specimens, cytological smears and living cells ‘in vitro’. Pays...
A time-lapse film illustrating the behaviour of cells.
Outlines the development of life on earth, discusses the synthetic process with its demand for energy as well as raw materials, chloroplast structure, the light reaction, the ‘dark’ reaction, and...
