Use of a light microscope to investigate the structure and ultra-structure of cells and tissues, with drawing of cells and calculation of the magnification of drawings and the actual size of structures shown in drawings or micrographs.
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells – a 3m 44s video from RichocetScience.
Here’s an animated, narrated tutorial on eukaryotic organelles (from Sinauer Associates).
Here is a short, animated & narrated tutorial from McGraw Hill Education – Lysosomes.
In Crash Course Biology #4 –Eukaryopolis – the city of animal cells, Hank tells us about the city of Eukaryopolis – the animal cell that is responsible for all the cool things that happen in our bodies. Mr W’sThe Cell Songis good for revising the organelles.
In Crash Course Biology #5 – In Da Club – Membranes & Transport, Hank describes how cells regulate their contents and communicate with one another via mechanisms within the cell membrane.
PRESCRIBED PRACTICAL 2 – Osmolarity
Estimation of osmolarity in tissues by bathing samples in hypotonic and hypertonic solutions
The powerpoint covers all that we need to know, the following is more detailed than we need but it’s interesting – this is how life began! Paul Andersen describes how Abiogenesis could have occurred on Earth and discussesScientific Evidence of The Origin of Lifeon our planet.
Many assessment statements are covered in video lessons by Stephanie Castle.
Here are some fantastic animated, narrated tutorials from McGraw Hill Education – how the Cell Cycle works,Mitosis & Cytokinesis. And here is an animated, narrated tutorial on Mitosis which also includes a quiz (from Sinauer Associates).
VCell productions’ animation Mitosis (6m 11s) is brilliant. We do need to know Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase & Telophase, but not ‘prometaphase’:
Mitosis Rap: it’s bad but it’s good:
Mr Andersen describes Mitosis for us:
In Crash Course Biology #12 –Mitosis: Splitting up is Complicated, Hank describes mitosis and cytokinesis – the series of processes our cells go through to divide into two identical copies.
