Part 1: Post a Response
This week is all about the smallest components of life: atoms, molecules, and cells. In this discussion topic, we concentrate on cells. To begin, watch the Khan Academy video “Introduction to the cell” found at:In the video, the narrator says that we might think that since cells are so small, that they must be simple, but “nothing could be further from the truth.” Give a few examples to illustrate the internal complexity of cells.
Did anything in this video surprise you, or was it mainly a recap of material you already knew?

2) PEER REVIEW #1 (CYNTHIA)
Hello Class,
Watching this video, I was under the impression that all cells were the same. Features like; Membrane and a nucleus. Now if I understood correctly the narrator says the Eukaryotic cell unlike other cells have a membrane-bound nucleus, which is completely separated from the cytoplasm inside the membrane and has its own fluids call nucleoplasm. We usually tend to judge things by appearance and a small cell that according to the narrator is only one micrometer long, at first gives the impression of simplicity, but small doesn’t necessarily mean simple. On the contrary, cells are very complex.
