BIOL 2010: Biology I Cellular Processes

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.

Explore the concept of semiconservative DNA replication, where each new DNA molecule retains one original strand. Understand the significance of this mechanism in ensuring accurate genetic information transfer across cell generations.

Explore the intricate workings of exergonic redox reactions, their energy release dynamics, and their crucial role in the mitochondria. Understand the Electron Transport Chain's role and how these reactions drive ATP synthesis via chemiosmosis.

Discover the intricacies of synovial joints, the body's most moveable joint type. Explore the role of articular cartilage, joint cavities, and the articular capsule in ensuring smooth movement. Gain insights into the varying presence of fibrocartilage in different synovial joints.

Explore the world of proprioceptors specialized sensory receptors in joints muscles and tendons that help us sense body movement and position. Understand the key types such as muscle spindles tendon organs and joint kinesthetic receptors. Learn why tactile discs are not considered proprioceptors even though they are sensory receptors

Unpack the concept of Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), exploring the significance of DNA fragment variations. Learn how restriction enzymes act as molecular scissors, leading to insights into genetic disorders, biodiversity, and more.
