BIOL 20300: Human Anatomy And Physiology

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.

In this video we explore the unique characteristics that set animals apart from other organisms. We evaluate options like gastrulation multicellularity sexual reproduction and flagellated sperm. Conclusively we identify gastrulation as a truly unique process in animal embryonic development.

Explore the critical role of phospholipids in forming cell membranes across various organisms. Understand their unique amphipathic properties and their influence on cellular processes, from transport to signaling.

Discover the essence of hydrostatic pressure and its significance in capillary beds, examining its relationship with colloid osmotic pressure and how it affects fluid movement in our circulatory system.

Nucleic acids, comprising DNA and RNA, are vital biomolecules encoding genetic information. We explore the structure and components of their monomers, nucleotides, emphasizing the role of nitrogenous bases and the significance of polynucleotide chains in storing genetic data.

This video traces the evolution of genetic understanding, beginning with Mendel's foundational pea plant experiments, which birthed basic inheritance laws. It delves into complexities like co-dominance, incomplete dominance, and polygenic inheritance. Highlighting the integral role of DNA, it explains its structure and replication, shedding light on mutations. The narrative underscores the interplay of genes with the environment, introducing epigenetics and the myriad ways genes express, shaping
