BIOL 7885: Freshman Biology Seminar

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.

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.

Discover how our brain interprets the scent of smoke differently based on context. Compare reactions in an open campfire setting versus an enclosed residence hall. Understand the underlying mechanisms of olfactory fatigue and context-driven alarm responses.

Discover the essence of hydrostatic pressure and its significance in capillary beds, examining its relationship with colloid osmotic pressure and how it affects fluid movement in our circulatory system.

Discover what sets muscle cells apart from nerve cells in the complex world of cellular biology. Our video zeroes in on gene expression explaining how it's the key difference between these two cell types. Equip yourself with the knowledge to better understand cellular function and diversity.
