| ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION |
| Binary Fission in a Protist These images, captured from video using a Snappy video
grabber, illustrate the final stages of protozoan asexual reproduction (a process known as
"binary fission"). The organism undergoing division, a small ciliate, gets a
helping hand from one of its "cohorts" during the final stage, separation of the
two daughter cells. |

| DIFFUSION |
| Diffusion
and Osmosis With Data Analysis This activity helps students understand the
essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis. Concepts such as permeability,
equilibrium, water potential, concentration gradients, and plasmolysis are illustrated. |
| Egg
Osmometers Students construct osmometers using raw eggs and other readily
obtainable materials. Osmometers are used to examine the phenomena of concentration
gradients, diffusion, osmosis, osmotic pressure, passive transport, and active transport. |

Onion Root Tips In order to examine cells in the tip of an onion root, a
thin slice of the root is placed onto a microscope slide and stained so the chromosomes
will be visible. The cells you'll be looking at in this activity were photographed with a
light microscope and then digitized so you can see them on the computer. |
| PHOTOSYNTHESIS |

Plant Get Energy |
| Illuminating
Photosynthesis This feature takes a look at the oxygen/carbon dioxide cycle and
at the process of photosynthesis. Also included are a few puzzlers with answers that may
surprise you. |
| SPECIALIZED CELLS |
| Observing Specialized Cells
In this investigation, you will observe several different types of cells. You will
compare and contrast the structures you see in the cells, and relate the structures to the
functions the different cells perform. |
