Lecture 14: Cells


Listen Later

Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of all life on Earth.
This lecture reviews the basic building blocks of cells, the main
chemical components, the two basic types of cells (Prokaryotes and
Eukaryotes), and introduces the Phylogenetic Tree of Life, the way

Smith Laboratory on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
