Biology Cells as the Basis of Life: Cell Structure - Animal Cells Part 1

This video tutorial covers Module One of HSC Biology, focusing on animal cells. It introduces the cell membrane and nucleus, explaining their roles in separating organelles and storing genetic material. The tutorial uses Sally's journey to Zoo York as an analogy to explain cell functions. It discusses the classification of living organisms, the complexity of eukaryotic cells, and the specific functions of various organelles. The lesson concludes with a summary of key points and a preview of upcoming lessons.
