Cell Biology
Cells Alive! Plant, Animal and Bacteria Cell Models
http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/3dcell.htm
A tour of human immune cells, bacteria and protozoa:
their life, death and interaction.
The Virtual Cell Webpage
http://www.ibiblio.org/virtualcell/textbook/chapter3/chapter3.htm
A tour of the cell, its components, and oganelles. You can link to animations and great pictures of cell components. Selecting a section
of the cell will give you a tour of that organelle.
Use the buttons on the top of the frame to rotate the
organelle left and right, and zoom in and out.
Molecular Expressions: Introduction to Cell and Virus Structure
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/cells/index.html
This site presents information on the microscopy of cells. Scroll down on the page to reach links
to clickable diagrams of animal cell structure, bacteria
cell structure, plant cell structure, virus cell structure,
and mitosis.
Biologica - 3D Cells
http://biologica.concord.org/webtest1/view_3D_cells.htm
Learn about cell structure and function by viewing QuickTime
movies and interacting with 3D worlds.
The Cell
http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~acarpi/NSC/13-cells.htm
This site includes a basic description of cells and major organelles. It also has excellent diagrams of cells.
Cellular Biology: Cell types
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/types.html
This site profiles the cellular differences among cells from each of the 5 kingdoms of living organisms. It links to simple pictures and tables highlighting differences.
Cellupedia Basics: Different Types of Cells
http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/different_cell_types.html
This site has excellent pictures of different cell types from each kingdom, with links to prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell pictures.
Plant Cell Types
http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/library/plant_biology/celltypes.html
This is an advanced site with descriptions and drawings of plant species sub-cell types. It incluesd details of cell structures for leaf, stem, etc. parts of plants.
Cytographics
http://www.cytographics.com/cg.html#
This is an advanced site, but with good graphics. It includes video clips (12 short quicktime clips with
audio, clips of mitosis and
Xenopus embryo development), a stills gallery (beautiful
still images showing the great diversity of the microscopic
world; each image expands with a description) and slide
shows (5 different subjects treated analytically with
a series of annotated stills).
Cell Photos
http://www1.kent.k12.wa.us/staff/TimLynch/sci_class/chap02/cell_photos.html
This site inclues microscope photos of several different types of cells.
It is from the website of Tim Lynch, science teacher and technology
specialist at Meeker Junior High in Renton, Washington.
Molecular Expressions -Powers of Ten
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/index.html
View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the
Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in
successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall
oak tree just outside the buildings of the National
High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida.
After that, begin to move from the actual size of a
leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell
walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally,
into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons
