Cell Biology
In this unit we will also be assessing Bio 2.1 Carry out a practical investigation in a biology context, as well as Bio 2.8 Investigate biological material at the microscopic level. Again NZQA has let us down on the Student Exemplar front, so check out these TKI resources to get an idea of the kinds of work expected of you.
Cellular Organelles
Get to know your organelles with this cool interactive before you challenge yourself to the Cells Games. Cells Games
Try out these super addictive cell games to really get to know your organelles...by shooting them.... Cell Transport
This interactive is a dream come true for people wanting to make sense of diffusion, osmosis and surface areas. See it all happen in front of your eyes when you download The Concord Consortium's Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport interactive lesson with 12 simulation models for you to run! DNA Structure
This powerpoint describes the structure of DNA, as well as a brief overview of where DNA fits into the grand scheme of things - the genome as an encyclopaedia of recipes.
DNA Replication
Real-time animation of how DNA is replicated. The Amoeba Sisters spell it out in a straight-forward way (don't worry, you don't need to remember the part about primers).
And a song to help you remember it all : )
Cells Vocab
A quick reminder of some important terms you should be able to use in your answers for this unit
Study Help
Quia.com has a heap of review flashcards, quizzes and games, so take the time to browse through to find the right level. Also, try some of these helpful sites if your study is getting a little stale: Need Help?
Ask questions about anything you are stuck on at the Biology Forum. Why study cells?
This video gives a brief summary of mitosis as well as an incredible overview of all the various shapes and functions of the trillions of cells in your body. Take the time to appreciate what a wondrous body you possess. Cell Division
Once the DNA has been copied so that two sets of identical chromosomes are prepared, the cell is ready to divide. Cell division allows an organism to grow and to replace old and dying cells.

Hank Green is AWESOME!! Don't get freaked out by the really tough chemistry stuff (you don't need to know these in this much detail) but it's better to know too much than too little, right? Enjoy this sweet biology nerdy goodness :)
