BIOL 103: Anatomy & Physiology 1

Explore the foundational processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Uncover the key roles of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Differentiate between the efficiencies and electron acceptors of both respiration types.

Explore the groundbreaking heterotroph hypothesis by Alexander Oparin. This video outlines how the first organisms likely consumed pre-existing organic matter reshaping how we think about the origins of life and evolution

Explore the composition of the diaphysis in long bones. Learn about the significance of compact bone in providing strength and differentiating it from other bone components.

Deepen your understanding of glycolysis, a foundational cellular metabolism process. Grasp how glucose transforms into pyruvate or lactate, based on the presence of oxygen. A clear insight into this process aids in exercise science and disease research.

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.

Explore the characteristics that distinguish normal cells from cancer cells in this informative video. Learn how normal cells perform specialized functions for overall health, while cancer cells grow uncontrollably. Discover why cancer cells lack differentiation, ignore reproduction control signals, and their connection to the absence of radical scavengers, all leading to their uncontrolled proliferation.
