Introduction to cells

[*] Learn something about the cell from the following web site :http://www.cellsalive.com

1. (a) In the left frame, click CELL BIOLOGY, then choose " How big is a ......? " (interactive, 互動)

            Enjoy the short movie (The flash plug-in is needed).

    (b) Try this *swf file : The size of cells relative to each other [intranet version] [ VERY INTERESTING ! ] 

2. Browse CELL GALLERY to view a variety of cells.

[*] The virtual plant cell 虛擬植物細胞 http://www.life.uiuc.edu/plantbio/cell  (An interactive 互動 web site)

3 Watch a FILM 電影 about cells. It is an ETV program produced by the HKED. [Thre Real player basic plug-in is needed.]
