BIOL 100: Human Biology

Discover the roles of sensory, interneurons, and motor neurons in the nervous system. These specialized cells transmit, process, and execute commands, orchestrating our responses. Experience the seamless coordination that enables us to interact with our environment.

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 characteristics that distinguish normal cells from cancer cells in this informative video. Learn how normal cells perform specialized functions for overall health, while cancer cells grow uncontrollably. Discover why cancer cells lack differentiation, ignore reproduction control signals, and their connection to the absence of radical scavengers, all leading to their uncontrolled proliferation.

Discover the essential role of the mantle in mollusks, the protective tissue responsible for shell secretion or organ protection. Explore how land snails, clams, and octopuses utilize their mantles for distinct purposes.

Explore the concept of semiconservative DNA replication, where each new DNA molecule retains one original strand. Understand the significance of this mechanism in ensuring accurate genetic information transfer across cell generations.
