| Many fine animations of molecular and cellular biology, they can teach many things: http://www.johnkyrk.com/ All animations are done in Flash, so the usual problems with Flash apply here too (like there isn't a way to search things, to copy and paste text, etc). Some animations are too much fast (like the formation of various RNAs), and they usually don't tell very well you when they are finished. The contents of the animations seem generally correct, but some details look a bit difficult even if you have already studied the subjects, like in this one: http://www.johnkyrk.com/er.html Another problem with this animation of protein synthesis is that it seems that always the correct tRNA goes right into the ribosome. This is wrong, because they are moving by random Brownian motion inside the crowded water, so often the wrong tRNA must go into the ribosome (and come out again). I like the images of nuclear pore. The animation on diffusion isn't much informative: http://www.johnkyrk.com/diffusion.html The animation on water is good enough: http://www.johnkyrk.com/H2O.html The "Evolution" animation isn't about evolution, it starts from the Big Bang and it contains everything and nothing, it's the hystory of everything, and it's not much good: http://www.johnkyrk.com/evolution.html The animation on glycolysis is cute (the two animations about photosynthesis are cute too, but really simplified): http://www.johnkyrk.com/glycolysis.h | ||||||||
