# Explore the world of the cell — take a tour inside the structure and function of cells and see how viruses attack and destroy them
# Understand the stuff of life (molecules) — get up to speed on the structure of atoms, types of bonds, carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, RNA, and lipids
# Watch as cells function and reproduce — see how cells communicate, obtain matter and energy, and copy themselves for growth, repair, and reproduction
# Make sense of genetics — learn how parental cells organize their DNA during sexual reproduction and how scientists can predict inheritance patterns
# Decode a cell's underlying programming — examine how DNA is read by cells, how it determines the traits of organisms, and how it's regulated by the cell
# Harness the power of DNA — discover how scientists use molecular biology to explore genomes and solve current world problems

# Easy-to-follow explanations of key topics
# The life of a cell — what it needs to survive and reproduce
# Why molecules are so vital to cells
# Rules that govern cell behavior
# Laws of thermodynamics and cellular work
# The principles of Mendelian genetics
