Cell websites

Here are the two sites that I used in class.

inside a cell This amazing site is from the University of Utah

cellsalive.com The site used to identify your organelles

The following animations may be helpful as you learn the cell parts and functions.
http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index_tj.asp?objid=AP11403 learn the organelles
http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter5/animations.html# A lysosome animation
http://www.northland.cc.mn.us/biology/Biology1111/animations/transport1.html Membrane transport
http://www.teachersdomain.org/asset/tdc02_int_membraneweb/ Substances moving through the membrane

If you check any of these out let me now. You can also write me a short paragraph on the site and what you learned by watching the animation. I could add a point or two to your next quiz.
