BIOL 2100: Basic Laboratory Methods for Biotechnology

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.

Explore the world of spontaneous reactions, focusing on cellular respiration. Learn how our cells convert glucose into energy-rich ATP, driving vital life functions.

Discover the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis detailing Earth's primordial conditions and the potential birth of life. Learn about the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules, the rise of protobionts, and the evolution to the first true cells.

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.

Understand the essence of controlled experiments and the significance of control groups. Unpack the common misconceptions associated with experimental design. Grasp the key factors that make an experiment truly controlled.
