Cell Biology - Responsiveness

Cell Biology - Responsiveness American Institute of Biological Science, taught by H. Burr Roney. Microcinematography of organisms filling screen. 16:01:42 Overlay titles: Metabolism, Growth, Reproduction, Responsiveness. 16:02:03 Amoeba. Paramecium feeding. Vortcella & various other single celled bodies. 16:03:27 Professor Roney at front of room lecturing to camera, pointing at things on board & replacing labels; walks across room, points at stress label & definition. 16:06:02 Footage of geographical locations: desert, mountains, streams, rocky shoreline, clouds moving w/ lightning. 16:06:50 Film of single celled organism in ECU. 16:07:08 Lecture to camera continues at board. Stimulus described. 16:08:07 Organisms moving about; various in various sizes, shapes & backgrounds. 16:08:36 Lecturer talking of responses by cells & control by cells. 16:10:59 Film of cells. Mouse eating on moss. 16:11:12 Lecturer walks to marble bench w/ sink & chemical equipment. Experiment shown w/ gas burner,lights chemical compound to show result exceeding the stimulus. Adds ashes to sugar as catalyst. Heat is stress stimulous, response is burning, catalyst provides control. 16:13:12 States respiration equation or reaction controlled by enzymes.
