BIO 1330: Functional Biology

Unlock the basics of the anatomical position, a crucial standard in medical and anatomical studies. This video clarifies the key differences among prone, supine, and standing positions and why they're not the anatomical position.

Explore the intricate layers of organization in the human body. From molecules to the complete organism, understand the sequential formation of our biological structure. Uncover the reasons behind incorrect hierarchical interpretations.

Explore the effects of isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. Understand water movement, solute concentration dynamics, and the resulting cellular changes, including turgidity in plants and crenation or lysis in animals.

Discover the relationship between the papillary layer of the dermis and the layers of the epidermis. Understand the structure, function, and connections that exist in our skin's anatomy.

In this video, we explore the crucial role of the cytoplasm in a cell and its division. By drawing parallels to intriguing concepts like telekinesis, we shed light on vital processes like karyokinesis and cytokinesis. By the end, we unveil cytokinesis as the primary method for plant cell cytoplasm division.

Explore the relationship between monomers and polymers, focusing on nucleic acids and their building blocks. This video clarifies the distinctions between various biological molecules and their basic units, emphasizing the critical role of nucleotides in nucleic acids.
