BIOL 1560: Basic Biology: From Cells to Organisms

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 mechanism of temporal summation in neurobiology. Understand the role of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons in this process. Dive deep into the distinct mechanisms and their relevance in the nervous system.

This videos teaches the mechanisms behind waste elimination in earthworms and mammals. Learn how metanephridia in earthworms and nephrons in mammalian kidneys work differently to perform crucial functions. Clear up common misconceptions and deepen your understanding of these biological systems.

In this video, we explore virus structure, specifically focusing on glycoproteins that extend from the virus's surface. Four statements related to virus structure are examined for accuracy, including the presence of a viral membrane, the composition of capsomeres, the genetic material within viruses, and the role of glycoproteins in virus attachment to host cells. The video highlights the importance of glycoproteins in facilitating virus attachment to host cells, ultimately marking the initiatio

Nucleic acids, comprising DNA and RNA, are vital biomolecules encoding genetic information. We explore the structure and components of their monomers, nucleotides, emphasizing the role of nitrogenous bases and the significance of polynucleotide chains in storing genetic data.

Discover the debate between Intelligent Design (ID) and evolutionary science as they clash over the complexity of biochemical pathways in nature. Explore the concept of guided vs. unguided evolution and how diverse pathways challenge the ID perspective.
