Description: Examines the molecules and structures of the four organic compounds which make up the living cell in an attempt to investigate the nature of life. Presents the structural formulas of lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleic acids and uses animation to show their combination into macromolecules. Shows that the components of a primitive earth's atmosphere could combine to form cells.
