Cell Structure and Function Concepts

The video is a virtual tour of Cellscape, a VR experience inside a human cell. It explains the cell's structure, including organelles like mitochondria and the cytoskeleton, and processes like protein synthesis and transport. The video also covers the cell's recycling system and concludes with acknowledgments to partners.
