MICR 1030: General Biology I

This video explores the distinction between innate and learned behaviors in animals. Innate behaviors are inborn and instinctive, while learned behaviors develop through experiences and observations, allowing animals to adapt to their environment and enhance their chances of survival.

Explore the significance of tracking same-age cohorts in population ecology. Learn how it aids in understanding birth and death rates, predicting population trends, and uncover the reasons behind this crucial ecological research practice.

Unpack the intricate process of sound transduction, from the initial vibrations in the ear to the transformation into neural signals. Learn about the vital roles of cochlea, basilar membrane, and hair cells in deciphering our auditory world. A comprehensive guide to the magic behind our hearing.

Explore the key concepts that might illustrate the unity among all organisms including emergent properties descent with modification and natural selection. Understand why the structure and function of DNA ultimately stand as the best example of this unity

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.

Primary succession is the process of converting barren, lifeless rock into a flourishing terrestrial community. This ecological transformation begins with pioneering species and lays the foundation for complex ecosystems.
