A short, simple animation showing secretion of proteins from a cell – endomembrane protein synthesis (from St Olaf), a similar animation of the Golgi from KScience – and here – a short, animated & narrated tutorial from McGraw Hill Education – Lysosomes.
An animated, narrated tutorial ona Pulse-Chase experiment(radioactive labelling) which also includes a quiz (from Sinauer Associates).
In Crash Course Biology #4 –Eukaryopolis – the city of animal cells, Hank tells us about the city of Eukaryopolis – the animal cell that is responsible for all the cool things that happen in our bodies. Mr W’sThe Cell Songis good for revising the organelles.
Short, simple animations demonstrating facilitated diffusion with a channel protein and with carrier proteins – three types: uniport, symport, & antiport (from St Olaf).
An animated, narrated tutorial on the three types of carrier proteins(from Sinauer Associates).
A short, simple animation demonstrating osmosis (from St Olaf) or here are two fantastic animated, narrated tutorials from McGraw Hill Education – osmosis & how osmosis works.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
A short, simple animation demonstrating Secondary Active Transport– the Na/K pump coupled with the glucose/Na symport (from St Olaf).
ENDOCYTOSIS & EXOCYTOSIS
A short, simple animation demonstrating phagocytosis(from St Olaf) or here is a fantastic animated, narrated tutorial from McGraw Hill Education – Endocytosis & Exocytosis– which includes a quiz.
And here is an animated, narrated tutorial on vesicle budding & fusing which also includes a quiz (from Sinauer Associates).
Here Paul Andersen gives you a brief introduction to The Cell Membrane.
In Crash Course Biology #5 – In Da Club – Membranes & Transport, Hank describes how cells regulate their contents and communicate with one another via mechanisms within the cell membrane.
The powerpoint covers all that we need to know, the following is more detailed than we need but it’s interesting – this is how life began! Paul Andersen describes how Abiogenesis could have occurred on Earth and discussesScientific Evidence of The Origin of Lifeon our planet.
Here are some fantastic animated, narrated tutorials from McGraw Hill Education – how the Cell Cycle works, Cytokinesis, Mitosis & Cytokinesis & Mitosis. And here is an animated, narrated tutorial on Mitosis which also includes a quiz (from Sinauer Associates).
VCell productions’ animation Mitosis (6m 11s) is brilliant. We do need to know Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase & Telophase, but not ‘prometaphase’:
Mitosis Rap: it’s bad but it’s good:
Mr Andersen describes Mitosis for us:
In Crash Course Biology #12 –Mitosis: Splitting up is Complicated, Hank describes mitosis and cytokinesis – the series of processes our cells go through to divide into two identical copies.
