Cell
Biology Chapter - written
at MIT + describes characteristics
of procaryotic & eucaryotic
cells and structure and function of organelles.
Virtual
Cell- allows
a virtual tour in a plant cell, shows
models + electron microscope images. Highlyrecomended.
Plant,
Animal and Bacteria Cell Modelsat
Cells Alive!!! – allows you to explore the differences between the cells
and their structures. Select one type of cell each time (scroll down for
bacteria), and click on the organelle at the image to see the name. Also
includes some details on each organelle.
Highly recommended
The
Virtual Cellcell
model. Choose between the Tour (Fascinating) and the text book (divided
by subjects, includes model molecules of lipids, proteins, etc.in
“organic chemistry” and “cell biology”)The Pioneer and Quicktimeplugins
are required.
Cells
and Cell Organelles- gives
several pictures of light or electron microscope and a list of questions
to focus your observations.
Microscopyexplains
various techniques and gives photographed examples.
Images
gallery - gives several
pictures of SEM and TEM of various cell types + short explanations. If
you save the pictures and reopen in your directory they are larger and
clearer.
The
Eukaryote Cell: A Virtual Tour- virtual
tour of an animal cell. All organelles in the graphic above will allow
you to move from organelle to organelle to see their structures and functions.
