Part of The Biology Project. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91398 This site provides information about cell components (such as cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, cytoskeleton, cytosol, mitochondrion, chloroplast, peroxisome, lysosome, vacuole, etc.) and cell division (meiosis, and mitosis), as well as beautiful images in cell biology. Video and still pictures of various types of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are included. A great animation on how bacteria grow and divide is an added plus for this site. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=76797 "The student will study the structure of the cell membrane by constructing it using the correct molecules." Learning object relevant to health sciences students studying nutrition, biochemistry and pharmacology. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83555 This tutorial/simulation consists of three topics. In topic 1, students look at the components of chemiosmosis in the bacteriumParacoccus denitrificans in which they step through animations of electron transport, proton gradient, and ATP synthase, learning the components involved in each.In topic 2, students construct chemiosmosis pathways in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Students will: 1) select the correct components (electron donor and acceptor, ETC, ATP synthase) and place them in the appropriate subcellular location ; 2) apply concepts about redox reactions, concentration gradients, and energetics to explain how chemiosmosis fits in a cell’s overall metabolism; and 3)summarize properties of chemiosmosis in organelles and Parcoccus denitificans. In topic 3, students follow the evolution of chemiosmosis and the role it played in the evolution of cellular life. Students will: 1) learn about chemical and cellular changes on early earth; 2) analyze efficiency of early forms of chemiosmosis; 3) compare mechanisms of non- and oxygenic photosynthesis; and 4) evaluate metabolic advantages of several endosymbiotic relationships. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=243069 This is a flash based game where the player has to help a cell divide by choosing the correct action in order, and by clicking buttons to carry out check points, such as have the cell checked for size, DNA damage, etc. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90943 Five tutorials covering basic cell structures, cell reproduction (mitosis and meiosis), recombinations and linkage, sex linked genes, and the molecular level of genetics. Each tutorial includes nice illustrative photos and figures, a multiple choice quiz that gives prompt feedback on correct or incorrect answers, and a glossary. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90945 Three tutorials about human blood, covering the different types of blood cells, ABO blood types and Rh blood types. Each tutorial includes nice illustrative photos and figures, a multiple choice quiz that gives prompt feedback on correct or incorrect answers, and a glossary. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83558 Students follow the evolution of chemiosmosis and the role it played in the evolution of cellular life. Students will: 1) learn about chemical and cellular changes on early earth; 2) analyze efficiency of early forms of chemiosmosis; 3) compare mechanisms of non- and oxygenic photosynthesis, and 4) evaluate metabolic advantages of several endosymbiotic relationships. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83564 Students compare the energetics of photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and cellular work. Students will: 1) complete a review table that summarizes the energy inputs, outputs, free energy change, etc. of these processes; and 2) review free energy change, Gibbs free energy, enzyme involvement, energy input and output. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=265911 This OpenCourseWare project has the videotaped lectures for the Fall'04 version (7.012) of MIT's introductory Biology course. This course covers cell biology, immunology, neurobiology, genomics, and molecular medicine. In addition to the video taped lectures there are audio mp3 versions of the lectures and pdfs of problem sets and exam questions, with answers.
