Library Video, 1994. 20 minutes. (VHS) Live-action scenes and computer animation guide students through the parts of a cell, including the membrane, cytoplasm and organelles. Learn the general characteristics of cells, examine prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, take an amazing voyage through the parts of a cell, and examine their extraordinary diversity. Cells Cells: The Building Blocks of Life. Library Video, 2000. 22 minutes. (DVD) This program explores the two basic types of cells, eukaryotic and prokaryotic, and their major components. The importance of the cell membrane in the processes of diffusion, osmosis and active transport is also illustrated. Cell Membrane The Cell Membrane. Library Video, 2002. 26 minutes. (VHS) The Standard Deviants will explain why the cell membrane is one of the most important parts of the cell -- and how it's responsible for functions like active and passive transport, phagocytosis (cellular eating) and pinocytosis (cellular drinking). All of the information is presented in a fast-paced, easy-to-follow format that promotes learning and retention. Cell Membrane Cells. Library Video, 2000. 27 minutes. (VHS) This Discovery program presents a larger-than-life look at human and plant cells and explains their primary functions. Viewers will get to see these tiny building blocks of life in action.
