BIOL 3832: General Genetics

Get insights into the role of lysosomes in different cell types. Find out which cell is the ideal choice for studying these powerful digestive organelles and why.

Discover the mechanics of voltage-gated Na+ channels and their role in neuron activity. This video breaks down key neuronal terms like resting potential and threshold to explain precisely when these channels open. You'll come away understanding that voltage-gated Na+ channels open at the threshold state initiating an action potential.

Discover which metabolic pathway is the heavyweight champion of ATP production. We'll evaluate contenders like lactic acid fermentation, the Krebs cycle, and more to determine the top ATP generator.

Explore the similarities and differences between the circulatory systems of amphibians and humans. Understand the distinctions in heart chambers, blood pressure, and where these two species align in their circulatory features.

Primary succession is the process of converting barren, lifeless rock into a flourishing terrestrial community. This ecological transformation begins with pioneering species and lays the foundation for complex ecosystems.

Explore the key concepts that might illustrate the unity among all organisms including emergent properties descent with modification and natural selection. Understand why the structure and function of DNA ultimately stand as the best example of this unity
