BSC 118: Honors General Biology I

Uncover the vital role of the kidneys in blood filtration and electrolyte balance. Understand the significance of the glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, and renal structures in the filtration process. Grasp the journey of filtrate as it becomes urine within the renal system.

Explore the distinct approaches of bioremediation and biological augmentation in managing environmental issues. Learn how organisms are utilized for pollutant degradation or enhancing ecological functions to mitigate environmental degradation.

Unravel the intricate process of hematopoiesis, the production of blood cells in our body. This video discusses various sites, including bone marrow and spongy bone, distinguishing between infants and adults in terms of blood cell generation.

Unpack the intricate processes within photosynthesis and identify which is most directly powered by light energy. Discover the critical role of chlorophyll in capturing solar power.

Learn how bioremediation works to treat contaminated environments and how microbes can help clean up pollutants. We evaluate multiple scenarios zeroing in on oil-degrading bacteria as a prime example of the process.

Explore the intricate layers of organization in the human body. From molecules to the complete organism, understand the sequential formation of our biological structure. Uncover the reasons behind incorrect hierarchical interpretations.
