Cell Membranes and Transport Across Cell Membranes: Animations and Tutorials

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOLOGY and HONORS BIOLOGY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Visit the following websites to view and interact with animations and simulations on cell membranes and different types of molecular transport across the cell membrane.


1.) Click through the "Construction of the Cell Membrane" presentation and take the "build your own membrane" self-quiz at the end:

http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index.asp?objID=AP1101

Show Mr. Bursch the "Congratulations!" page at the end for a stamp on your stamp log.



2.) Work your way through the "Cellular Transport" tutorial using the "rewind" and "continue" buttons in the lower left-hand corner of the tutorial.

http://www.wiley.com/legacy/college/boyer/0470003790/animations/membrane_transport/membrane_transport.htm

Show Mr. Bursch the last screen at the end of this tutorial for a stamp on your stamp log.



3.) To get a very detailed explanation of cell membrane transport systems, view the animation at the following website.
