 3D Animation (good source of images and functions of each)

 Cell Biology: The Virtual Cell (also good)
 

 Be sure and include these structures' individual images and detailed functions
 (From standard B2.2):
 

NUCLEUS: include nuclear membrane, nucleolus, and chromatin

CYTOPLASM

MITOCHONDRION: include cristae and matrix   (complex animation) 
                                      (once a cell itself?)   See here, too

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: both Rough and Smooth

RIBOSOMES

GOLGI APPARATUS

VACUOLE

LYSOSOME    (animation)

CYTOSKELETON: include Microfilaments and Microtubules.

CENTRIOLE

CILIA (animation)

FLAGELLA (animation)

PLASTIDS: include chloroplast with stroma and grana (animation),
                     leucoplast, chromoplast

CELL WALL

CELL MEMBRANE: include these parts: the phospholipid by-layer and protein channels.

Note:  Technically, organelles are lipid membrane-bound.  This would include the nucleus, mitochondrion, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, plastids, vacuoles, and ER.  Other important structures are not membrane-bound: ribosomes, centrioles, cytoskeleton (microtubules, microfibers), flagellum, and cell walls.  So, some sources distinguish between these two as membrane-bound organelles and nonmembrane- bound organelles.

Molecular Workbench^™

 The Molecular Workbench site is designed to simulate many scientific principles.  It is an excellent way of seeing what goes on with various processes like cellular respiration, diffusion, DNA to protein, lipids and carbs, proteins and nucleic acids, harvesting light (photosynthesis), ELISA, and the tree of life.

Click on the DIFFUSION simulations, change the concentrations of oxygen or CO₂ in a membrane, and predict the outcome...

Types of Solutions in OSMOSIS
  (from BiologyCorner.com):
 

	If the concentration of solute (salt) is equal on both sides of a semi-permeable membrane, the water will move back in forth but it won't have any result on the overall amount of water on either side. "ISO" means the same
	The word "HYPO" means less, in this case there are less solute (salt) molecules outside the cell; water will move into the cell. The cell will gain water and grow larger. In plant cells, the central vacuoles will fill and the plant becomes stiff and rigid (turgor pressure); the cell wall keeps the plant from bursting In animal cells, the cell may be in danger of bursting (lysing).  CONTRACTILE VACUOLES will pump water out of the cell to prevent this.
	The word "HYPER" means more, in this case there are more solute (salt) molecules outside the cell, which causes the water to move in that direction. In plant cells, the central vacuole loses water and the cells shrink, causing wilting.  The cell membrane can pull away from the cell wall as the cell loses water, called PLASMOLYSIS. In animal cells, the cells also shrink. In both cases, the cell may die. This is why it is dangerous to drink sea water - its a myth that drinking sea water will cause you to go insane, but people marooned at sea will speed up dehydration (and death) by drinking sea water. This is also why "salting fields" was a common tactic during war, it would kill the crops in the field, thus causing food shortages.

 Active Transport
  (requiring ATP Energy to go against conc. gradient).
