Single-cell Organisms
Biodiversity on a Small Scale
The Earth is the only planet known to us where liquid water ─ the source of life ─ exists. Every creature has its own metabolism, which is controlled via an information carrier – the genome. Living organisms are interlinked with their environment and can propagate. The basic unit of all living organisms is the cell – an entity closed to the outside. Some living beings consist of an almost incredible variety of cells – humans, for example, of about 100 billions. Some organisms, however, consist of only one cell. All vital processes take place within this tiny cell.

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
