Membranes Links

Standard 1a: Students know cells are enclosed within semipermeable membranes 
that regulate their interaction with their surroundings.

Structure of the Cell Membrane- Text with Good Animations
http://telstar.ote.cmu.edu/Hughes/tutorial/cellmembranes/

Osmosis and Diffusion - text and figures
http://www.biotopics.co.uk/life/osmsis.html

Osmosis in Cells, transport in cells - good background
http://www.biotopics.co.uk/life/osmdia.html

Animation of exocytosis - and  good demonstration of how membranes fuse in 
general!
http://www.stanford.edu/group/Urchin/GIFS/exocyt.gif

Why is all this important?! See this tutorial about ion transport in the 
heart muscle cells!

Protein Transport by ER and Golgi - FANTASTIC ANIMATION!!!
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/giannini/flashanimat/cellstructures/endomembrane%20protein%20synthesis.swf

Chemistry Animationss - focus on the list of animations on the upper right 
hand side (and open others for a molecule touch)
http://ull.chemistry.uakron.edu/genobc/animations/

Transport Animations. Goes all the way from osmosis to active transport - in 
the nerve impulse!

Animations for the whole course, but.... Focus here on great animations of 
membrane transort mechanisms (list on middle right side)

GREAT Animated Tutorial: Active and Passive Transport (Wish I used this one 
in class...)
