Publisher's Synopsis
A living cell can be viewed as a highly developed engineering system on a tiny scale. Within the cell are examples of smart structural materials, communication systems, mechanisms for energy storage and conversion, rotary and linear motors, complex systems for storing and processing information, and the manufacturing capacity to support self-replication. The contents of this pack takes you on a tour of the cell that includes all the above, together with examples of how engineers are beginning to use biological devices outside their natural environment.This pack contains Block 3 Working with Nature: The Cell as an Engineering System, Block 3 Principles Wing and Block 3 Techniques Wing.The audio CD and DVD refered to throughout this pack unfortunately are not available for sale due to copyright restrictions.
