The Domains of Life

How the evolutionary tree branches over time forms the basis for biological classification. As our understanding of evolutionary history has improved, classification has gone from a two kingdom system (plants and animals), to five kingdoms (plant, animal, fungi, protist, and monera--the kingdom of prokaryotic cells), the classification found in many biology textbooks. Molecular techniques have now clarified the early branching of life, resulting in a useful new overview that splits life into three domains: Archaea (bacteria-like in appearance, but with different biochemistry), Bacteria, and Eucarya, the domain of organisms having cells with nuclei and membrane-bound organelles. This program introduces the three domains and focuses on the main events in the evolution of eukaryotic cells.

Institutional purchases will allow you, the purchaser, to view the programs and clips while logged into this site. You can also specify a list of allowed IP addresses or IP address ranges in your account settings. This will allow students and instructors to access your purchased videos via the Institution Access page without needing a login. Authentication happens automatically when our system recognizes an IP address from your institution. To allow off-campus access, you can include the IP addresses of proxy servers used by home users, similar to how access is configured to other online library journal database resources.

Contact your sales representative for all multiple school/campus orders, multiple year, special orders designed to backend our system into yours, for content only transfers to your server, and Purchase Order approval. We are dedicated to providing your digital files the way you want them. If you don't see it, just ask!
