Cell Membranes and Cell Motility videos

Use these online cell biology videos to study Cell Membranes and Cell Motility. Use the video subtitles to improve Reading and Literacy skills ... simultaneously!

Use these Biology and Biological Sciences videos entitled Cell Biology to study the functions of cellular membranes and cellular membrane proteins, and cell motility based on microtubules and microfilaments. Learn about the structure and amphiphilic properties of membrane phospholipids, sterols, and proteins.

Study how lipid and protein molecules assemble to form cellular membranes, and study the fluid mosaic model and other major pathways for transporting molecules through membranes. These 4 online educational video titles will also enable you to examine systems of cell motility based on microtubules and microfilaments. Understand the role of microtubule sliding to produce flagellar motion and chromosome movement. Learn how the active sliding mechanisms of microtubules and microfilaments generate the movement of internal cell organelles or areas of the cytoplasm.

Learning Objectives:

Survey the functions of cellular membranes and cellular membrane proteins, and discuss the structure and amphiphilic properties of membrane phospholipids, sterols, and proteins.
Examine the structure of the microtubule, microtubular complex, and axoneme elements, and describe the structure and biochemical properties of actin and myosin molecules.
Identify cellular movements produced by the activities of microtubules and microfilaments, and describe how the active sliding mechanisms of microtubules and microfilaments generate the movement of internal cell organelles or areas of the cytoplasm.
Explain the role of microfilaments in the cellular division of cytoplasm in animals.
Discuss how the lipid and protein components of cellular membranes are synthesized, and describe the interactions between lipids and proteins in the fluid mosaic model.
