Active Transport

The following two clips are ones we watched in class:
Clip 1 ~1.8 minutes long - Clip from class on endocytosis and exocytosis.

Clip 2 ~ 2 minutes long - Clip from class on how were arrived with eukaryotic cells (Endosymbiotic theory)



Below are the new clips:

Clip 3 ~ 1.5 minutes- Goes over the sodium/ potassium pump. When you see the 4 circles (three with have an P and one will have an A), this is the molecular version of ATP. The TP mean triphosphate or three phosphates.

Clip 4 ~ 30 seconds - definition and example of Active transport.

Clip 5  ~6.5 minutes - Nice review of passive and active transport, gives an example of active transport, and endocytosis and exocytosis.


Below is an extra info clip:

Clip 6 ~ 1.5 minutes - Shows and example of phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles. This is a type of endocytosis because you are taking something inside our cell.

Passive Transport: Osmosis

Clip 1 ~ 2 minutes describing the types of osmosis looking at the percentages of solute and water.

Clip 2 ~Little less than 3 minutes describing the types of osmosis and way things move in an active transport example

Clip 3 ~ 11 minutes describing the types of osmosis using an animated video game (if you have time is a cute video to watch)

Clip 4 ~ 5.5 minutes going through the Egg demo we did in class

Cell Membrane

Clip 1 ~ 6.5 minutes on cell membrane, phospholipids, and mosaic model

Clip 2 from class ~ 1.5 minutes of a visual representation of how the membrane is a mosaic model

New Clips (make sure you have seen the above two clips before watching the 4th clip):

Clip 3 ~ 2.5 minutes long talking about what a phospholipid is

Clip 4 ~ 9.5 minutes long giving a brief preview of how things can move in and out of cells (we will discuss in class a little more)
