BIO 374: Cellular & Microbial Biology

Explore the complex dynamics of bird behavior in a serene North American forest setting. Witness the challenges faced by a diligent chipping sparrow as it tends to its nest, while an intruder lurks nearby. Delve into the fascinating world of symbiotic relationships in the animal kingdom and the impact they have on wildlife survival.

Discover what happens in your body after a hearty meal! Learn about the concept of 'distension' and how nerve cells act as messengers to your control center, orchestrating the digestive process.

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.

Explore the definitions of tissue, organ, and organ system. Understand the distinctions and interconnectedness between these components. Get an overview of the human body's eleven major organ systems and their functions.

Explore the world of microbiology in this video as we investigate the processes that lead to genetic variation in bacterial populations. Learn about transduction, transformation, conjugation, and mutation, and discover why meiosis, a process occurring in sexually reproducing organisms, is not a source of genetic variation in bacteria.
