BCMB 311: Advanced Cellular Biology

Explore the intricate components of the endomembrane system within a cell. Identify which structures belong to this system and which do not, with a specific focus on the unique role of the chloroplast.

This data-driven video examines the difference in nucleotide replication rates between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, providing insights into the factors affecting their speed. It concludes that prokaryotes outpace eukaryotes, replicating nucleotides approximately ten times faster, and explores the contributing factors behind this difference.

Explore what makes each element unique by focusing on the atomic components: protons neutrons and electrons. Learn why the number of protons known as the atomic number is the defining characteristic for each element's properties. Understand how protons set elements apart even as neutrons and electrons also play important roles.

Explore how viruses replicate and the various ways in which new viruses emerge. Understand the importance of mutation, cross-species transmission, and the significance of wider spread in host species for disease control strategies.

Discover the debate between Intelligent Design (ID) and evolutionary science as they clash over the complexity of biochemical pathways in nature. Explore the concept of guided vs. unguided evolution and how diverse pathways challenge the ID perspective.

Explore the world of proprioceptors specialized sensory receptors in joints muscles and tendons that help us sense body movement and position. Understand the key types such as muscle spindles tendon organs and joint kinesthetic receptors. Learn why tactile discs are not considered proprioceptors even though they are sensory receptors
