Photosynthesis forms the base for life on earth. It
takes place inside the green oval chloroplasts which are responsible for
the typical colour of the plant's leaves. The analysis of the chloroplast
structure helps to understand the processes, which occur during energy
production.

Chloroplasts
|
Function
The chapter "Function" presents a
comprehensive overview of the biochemical processes involved in
photosynthesis. A further interactive option is to simulate biochemical
reactions in order to reinforce what has been learned.
Structure
The microstructure of the chloroplasts is focussed
upon. Several 3-dimensional animations and a virtual flight through a
chloroplast are available. The topic will be completed by showing a number
of electromicrographs, details of which can be selected and viewed on a
larger scale.
Development
The origin development of chloroplasts is dealt with
in the chapter "Development". As in the other chapters, learners become
actively involved in the program.

|
Cell organells of the plant cell |
The individual cell organelles (e.g. nucleus, cell
skeleton, microbodies, mitochondria, vacuole, endoplasmatic reticulum,
golgi apparatus etc.) are elucidated in word and vision.

Specialties

Virtual lab
In each topic you have access to a virtual
laboratory, where you can initiate and perform several experiments. You will
feel like a scientist when you try to check the accuracy of your assumptions
by carrying out experiments. Movies, pictures and animations will give you a
comprehensive theoretical background for each theme.
Films
All the films of the learning program are listed and
can be accessed individually.
Quiz
The Quiz gives you the opportunity to test your
acquired knowledge in cell organelles, their function and structure, the
development of chloroplasts and the outcomes of the experiments..
