Cells: A Really Close Look At How Life Works

by Cleveland Museum of Natural History

In 1676, a scientist named Antonie Leeuwenhoek scraped some plaque off his teeth and looked at it under his new invention called a microscope. The tiny living units he observed created
a whole new level of scientific understanding and a whole new level of appreciation for toothbrushes. This program will investigate
some of the ways your personal team of 75-trillion cells are interacting with each other to maintain the chemical reactions and physical processes necessary for life. Review the organelles that power individual cells and reveal some of the links between all life on Earth. On a cellular level, even while you’re sleeping,
you’re always quite busy.
