Clathrin-mediated endocytosis of EGFR 
A short but sweet animation on Clathrin-mediated endocytosis. This includes labels on what exactly is happening.
Video on Microtubules
Segment from the program Cells: The Structure of Life. This is a wonderful video showing the structure, replication and function of microtubules in the cell. Not only do they use animations but also actual videos obtained from mycroscopes. Pretty amazing.

The Proteasomes
This is a pretty complete review of proteosomes. In a nutshell, they are used to degrade proteins and are simular in structure to chaparonins. They do not have a membrane.
A slow track for synaptic vesicle retrieval by clathrin mediated endocytosis
This is a great, unnarrated animation showing the workings of tSNARE, vSNARE, adaptin, clathrin, dynamin, syntaxin and synaptobrevin. If you are just trying to figure out how vesicles merge with the membrane or are cleaved from the membrane then this will give you a great visual interpretation.
The Control of the Cell Cycle
From nobelprize.org this game puts you in control of the cell cycle. I thought it is pretty educational even for biology college students. Definitely check it out if you are studying for the mcat.
Blood cells, Dr.Jastrow's electron microscopic atlas
This is a good reference site if you are studying the electron micrograph of blood cells. By clicking on each picture you can obtain more information with labels. They have pictures of erythrocyte, monocyte, lymphocyte, granulocyte, eosinophil, basophilthrombocyte, erythrocytes, monocytes,...
A paragraph on the structure and function of the Glycocalyx
Basically the Glycocalyx may be viewed as a layer that may consist of slime but may also contain sugars and proteins. On bacteria the glycocalyx is a way for bacteria to avoid detection by the host's immune system. If it is made out of slime the glycocalyx can be used to adhere to surfaces.
A comparison of Membrane Pumps and passive transporters
NKAtpase PMCA/SERCAtpase HKAtpase SGLT similar to Na/AA Trans NA K 2Cl Cotransport 3Na-Ca(NCX)Counter transport Na-H(NHX 3Na/2K 1H/1Ca and 2H/2Ca 2H/2K 1Na/1Glucose 1Na, 1K, 2Cl Na moves downhill Na downhill 1ATP 1ATP and 1ATP 1ATP...
