It is part of a set of Biological Animations. Calvin Cycle (Photosynthesis) http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79769 This site is an animation of the Calvin Cycle. It displays the activities in small portions and keeps track of the molecules used/produced during the process. Oxygenic Photosynthesis in Bacteria http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79768 This site is an animation of the light dependent (oxygen generating) reactions of photosynthesis. Note that the mechanism depicted is for prokaryotes and differs somewhat from what occurs in eukaryotes. Directory of Animations http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83324 This site is a list of animations applicable to all aspects of cell biology. Many would be useful for general biology classes as well. They range from cell membrane activities to biochemical interactions. Transcription http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=85780 This site contains an excellent flash animation of the the process of transcription during protein synthesis Translation http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=85775 This site contains an animation of the process of translation during protein synthesis. The user is able to control the speed with which the animation goes from step to step. DNA Workshop http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80196 This PBS site provides a concise, interactive presentation that covers DNA replication, transcription and translation. While it does not go into great detail on the various enzymes and leading vs lagging strands, it does present the basic concepts clearly. Glycolysis http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=237983 This site has a clear and accurate  Shockwave animation of the process of glycolysis. Lew-Port's Biology Place--Animated Reviews http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86024 This page contains animated reviews of a variety of biology concepts that may be difficult to grasp. The topics covered are: Enzyme Activity, Mitosis, MeiosisDNA Replication, Protein Synthesis, andChromatography and Gel Electrophoresis Meiosis in an Animal Cell http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86022 This site contains a very nice animation of the process of meiosis. The animation my be paused or stopped at any point.
