BIOL 382: Introduction to Virology

Learn how bioremediation works to treat contaminated environments and how microbes can help clean up pollutants. We evaluate multiple scenarios zeroing in on oil-degrading bacteria as a prime example of the process.

Learn about the unique adaptability of facultatively anaerobic cells in different oxygen conditions. Discover the outcome of an experiment comparing their growth in aerobic and anaerobic environments. Grasp the resilience of these cells and their growth mechanisms.

Explore the intricate components of the endomembrane system within a cell. Identify which structures belong to this system and which do not, with a specific focus on the unique role of the chloroplast.

Discover what happens in your body after a hearty meal! Learn about the concept of 'distension' and how nerve cells act as messengers to your control center, orchestrating the digestive process.

Explore the secrets of fossilization in sedimentary rocks. Uncover how these rocks, like nature's archives, preserve the history of life on Earth over billions of years. Delve into the unique processes that create these historical records.
