BIOL 101: Intro to Biological Sciences 1

Discover the fundamentals of the respiratory system and the primary muscle behind inspiration. This video breaks down the physiological process of breathing, the key role of the diaphragm, and why other muscles don't initiate breathing.

Unpack the process of biological magnification in the food chain and learn why consuming foods from lower trophic levels minimizes toxin exposure. Grasp the implications of human-induced pollutants and the benefits of dietary diversity.

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.

Discover the intricate architecture of atoms, the fundamental units of matter. Highlighting the roles of electrons, protons, and neutrons, learn how they create the characteristic structure of atoms. This knowledge reveals the essence of the material world

Uncover the key roles of the cerebral cortex, from cognition and memory to emotional regulation. Compare its functions to those of the hypothalamus, particularly regarding circadian rhythms. Get the answer to what the cerebral cortex doesn't govern.

Explore the distinct approaches of bioremediation and biological augmentation in managing environmental issues. Learn how organisms are utilized for pollutant degradation or enhancing ecological functions to mitigate environmental degradation.
