BIO 210: Ecology

Discover which metabolic pathway is the heavyweight champion of ATP production. We'll evaluate contenders like lactic acid fermentation, the Krebs cycle, and more to determine the top ATP generator.

Discover the mechanics of voltage-gated Na+ channels and their role in neuron activity. This video breaks down key neuronal terms like resting potential and threshold to explain precisely when these channels open. You'll come away understanding that voltage-gated Na+ channels open at the threshold state initiating an action potential.

Explore the crucial role of DNA polymerase in the DNA replication process. Understand its function in synthesizing new DNA strands. Dissect common misconceptions about this vital enzyme.

Unravel the intricacies of mitosis by identifying each phase and their characteristics. Highlight the process that is not a part of mitosis, emphasizing the importance of DNA replication.

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.

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.
