The Power House of the Cell
Mitochondria play host to one of the most important processes in your
body: cellular respiration. Taking in glucose and oxygen, mitochondria
produce energy, which they capture and package as energy-rich molecules of ATP. This video describes the structure and functions that give mitochondria their nickname: the powerhouses of the cell. Closed captioning included. Run time 05:47.
Separation of Power
This video segment explains the separation of power between the
legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the federal government
and describes the ways in which each branch can limit the others. The
Watergate scandal is used to illustrate how the system of checks and
balances works.
Pollination, Plants and Insects
This video explains an interesting and complex pollination process involving insects and milkweed. Pollination in this common plant is very similar to the pollination of Orchids. The video is designed as a resource for teaching plant biology, particularly plant-insect relationships. Run 08:17.
Differentiation in Plants - Elementary Science
This is a short, animated narrated video (01:40) gives a very brief overview of the differentiation in plants. Some of the narration is accompanied by English captions.
Plants-in-Motion
This interactive activity adapted from Indiana University features time-lapse videos that reveal the movement and growth of plants in their pursuit of light. Although plants have no choice about where they are rooted, they do respond to environmental cues in ways that enable them to survive. This interactive site includes five videos using time lapsed photography (no audio) with written explanations. The videos include: seed germination and gravity, light and dark responses, twining vines, pl
Risk Factors For Squamous Cell Carcinoma -
Doctor identifies risk factors for squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. Video explains why certain people are at much higher risk for this deadly cancer. 59 sec.
Understanding Basal Cell Carcinoma
Video has a doctor explaining what basal cell carcinoma is and who is at risk. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of all cancer. Images show what to look for in identifying this cancer. 3:11 min.
Treat risks
In this task we’ll look at monitoring the risks and identifying and implementing control measures. it contains a learning pack which addresses the issues surrounding the treatment of risks; strategies you will use control and assess both the ongoing and the short term nature of the risk; differing strategies in risk management; various models and devices to monitor risk.

1.4.2 Winter storage in plants
In this unit, we study one aspect of the fluctuating nature of an organism's environment. We consider how organisms living in a temperate climate, such as that in Britain, are adapted to cope with winter. You will see that there is much diversity of adaptations among organisms, with different species coping with the demands of a fluctuating environment in quite different ways. As cyclic variations are a widespread feature of environments, the range of adaptations to them is an important source o

Insights understanding our world : the continuing impact of the holocaust
A series of audio and video programmes which discuss and debate the medical ethics associated with anti-Semitism and the continuing impact of the Holocaust. The programmes have been produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The medical ethics series considers disability rights in relation to the Museum&rsquo Deadly Medicine exhibition; how the moral inquiry into the Holocaust can inform bioethics today, and how the pursuit of human perfection influenced Nazi programmes to remove t
Human Tissue Authority codes of practice
The Human Tissue Authority (HTA) revised codes of practice came into force in September 2009. The revised codes provide guidance and advice and expected standards for all the sectors regulated by the HTA. Each code is provided in an interactive format providing easy access to the different sections, with links to other relevant issues and documents and a pop-up glossary. There are nine codes, covering post-mortem examination; consent, donation of solid organs for transplantation; anatomical exam
