Online Resources

Many of these pages contain specific links within them but this page lists some useful general sites (including other link sites)

If you find any sites that you think would be of use to others let me know and I will add them. Email me here

 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?call=bv.View..ShowTOC&rid=cell.TOC&depth=2

This link will take you to the contents page of the third edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts et al. The text of this book, including the diagrams, are then searchable. An excellent resource.

 

http://www.spolem.co.uk/index.asp

This site has been put together by a teacher of, among other things, A Level Biology and includes a lot of useful information - including lecture notes - might make a change from mine

Another two sites put together by biology teachers:

http://www.mrothery.co.uk

http://www.tuff-stuff.co.uk/index.htm

 

http://www.biology.arizona.edu/default.html

Tests on a range of subjects including:

Cell Structure

Molecular Biology

Mendelian genetics

Each question in the test has an accompanying brief tutorial

A version of the onion root tip squash experiment to practice with

Links to other sites

 

http://www.terrific-scientific.co.uk/Pages/AtomicStructure/atomic_structure1.htm

A step-by-step guide to atomic structure and bonding

 

http://www.wpbschoolhouse.btinternet.co.uk/page04/4_72bond.htm

A fairly simple description of bonding in molecules

 

http://www.cellsalive.com

Some pretty animations illustrating cell biology process and structures

 

http://www.stanford.edu/group/Urchin/GIFS/exocyt.gif

A nice simple little animation showing the process of exocytosis - shows membrane fusion

 

http://highschoolhub.org/hub/biology.cfm

A links page to a range of sites. A very useful start point

 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/guide/human

Includes the detailed chromosome maps elucidated by the Human Genome Project

 

http://www.genome.gov/page.cfm?pageID=10001772

The official site of the Human Genome Project. Includes brief descriptions of the techniques used

 

http://www.mendelweb.org/homepage.html

A series of largely textual resources relating to Mendel

 

http://www.biology-online.org/

Primarily a links site. A good place to start

Also contains some fairly uninspired text-only tutorials

 

http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages

An online textbook

Presented in an "old skool" way so not very pretty to look at but lots of good illustrations

 

http://www.dnaftb.org

This site, produced by the world renowned Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [the Real Madrid of molecular biology labs], contains dozens of simply presented but content-rich animations covering just about every aspect of DNA. It focuses heavily on the work of the individuals who got us to where we are.

 

http://biology.about.com

Yet another comprehensive list site

 

http://www.iacr.bbsrc.ac.uk/notebook/index.html

 

http://www.open.ac.uk/StudentWeb/s292/

The pen University's Human Evolution page - contains a very good hominid timeline diagram

 

http://www.csuchico.edu/anth/Module/skull.html

This is an excellent visual guide to the bones of the head featuring rotatable QuickTime videos of individual bones
