A cell is a minifactory in which structures and molecules are assembled, rearranged, disassembled, packaged, sorted, and transported. Because cellular structures and molecules are invisible to the human eye, students often have difficulty conceptualizing the dynamic nature of cells that function at multiple scales across time and space. To represent these dynamic cellular processes, the Virtual Cell Productions team at North Dakota State University develops freely available multimedia materials to support molecular and cellular biology learning inside and outside the high school and university classroom.
细胞是一个微型工厂，在其中结构和分子被组装、重新排列、拆解、包装、分类和运输。由于细胞结构和分子肉眼不可见，学生们常常难以理解细胞在跨越时间和空间的多个尺度上发挥作用的动态本质。为了呈现这些动态的细胞过程，北达科他州立大学的虚拟细胞制作团队开发了免费的多媒体材料，以支持高中和大学课堂内外的分子和细胞生物学学习。
