BIOL 142: Physiology Lab

Explore the pivotal role of enhancers in gene expression as we dissect their function and interaction with transcription factors. Gain insights into how they crucially influence the transcriptional control of genes.

Gain a clear understanding of chemical equilibrium, where reactant and product concentrations stay constant due to equal forward and reverse reaction rates. Dispel common misconceptions about equilibrium, such as concentration equality and reaction reversibility.

Explore the distinct differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes. Understand their structures, organization, size, and cellular locations. Grasp how these genetic units underscore life's incredible diversity.

Explore the critical components of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), including nerves and ganglia. Understand the distinction between sensory and autonomic ganglia and the composition of nerves' layers. Learn why nerves and ganglia lack the protective meninges found in the CNS and how they facilitate essential signal transmission within the body.

Explore the crucial role of red marrow in producing vital blood cells and maintaining the circulatory and immune systems. Learn why bones are essential for blood cell production and understand why other options are incorrect.

Unlock the world of pathogens, the microorganisms causing diseases. Grasp how they invade, colonize, and adversely affect host organisms. Learn about prevention strategies to mitigate their harmful impacts.
