BIOL 342: Biometry

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.

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.

Gain a clear understanding of chemical equilibrium, where reactant and product concentrations stay constant due to equal forward and reverse reaction rates. Dispel common misconceptions about equilibrium, such as concentration equality and reaction reversibility.

Explore the Evolutionary History of Invertebrates: Are Beetles Related? Discover the intricate web of invertebrate evolution, dating back over 500 million years, and why beetles and their invertebrate counterparts do not share a common ancestry.

Explore the profound impact of oceans on the biosphere in this video. Discover how oceans contribute to oxygen production, carbon dioxide absorption, and climate moderation, while also uncovering their limitations in regulating the pH of freshwater biomes and terrestrial groundwater.

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.
