BIOL 1200: General Biology I (Bio 120) (10235) Professor Andrzejak

Discover the unique adaptations of C4 and CAM plants in photosynthesis. Understand their evolved strategies to fix carbon efficiently in challenging environments. Dive into nature's remarkable mechanisms of survival and adaptation.

In this video we explore the unique characteristics that set animals apart from other organisms. We evaluate options like gastrulation multicellularity sexual reproduction and flagellated sperm. Conclusively we identify gastrulation as a truly unique process in animal embryonic development.

Discover the science behind thermoregulation, focusing on endotherms and ectotherms. Understand how internal metabolic processes distinguish endotherms, while ectotherms rely on environmental factors. Highlighting the adaptations each group has evolved to thrive in their habitats.

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.

Explore the groundbreaking heterotroph hypothesis by Alexander Oparin. This video outlines how the first organisms likely consumed pre-existing organic matter reshaping how we think about the origins of life and evolution

Explore what makes each element unique by focusing on the atomic components: protons neutrons and electrons. Learn why the number of protons known as the atomic number is the defining characteristic for each element's properties. Understand how protons set elements apart even as neutrons and electrons also play important roles.
