BIOL 3314: Molecular Cell Biology

Discover the intricate details of the pelvis anatomy as we analyze and correct misconceptions about its structure and components, using sketches for clarity.

We explore how to determine the nature of a mysterious, gelatinous substance found on a forest rock. By conducting a series of tests, including microscopy, DNA staining, respiration observation, and growth experiments, we aim to unravel whether this enigmatic material is alive, inanimate, or a product of a living organism.

Explore the significance of tracking same-age cohorts in population ecology. Learn how it aids in understanding birth and death rates, predicting population trends, and uncover the reasons behind this crucial ecological research practice.

Explore the critical role of phospholipids in forming cell membranes across various organisms. Understand their unique amphipathic properties and their influence on cellular processes, from transport to signaling.

Discover the fascinating science behind table salt's unique characteristics that arise from the bond between sodium and chloride atoms. Explore topics like its unique taste, solubility in water, and ability to conduct electricity. Learn how the combination of sodium and chloride creates properties neither element possesses on its own.

Discover the differences between hydrocarbons and other organic molecules. While hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen, other organic molecules integrate more elements and functional groups. This distinction leads to diverse chemical properties and vital biological functions.
