BIOL 100: Principles of Biology

Explore the anatomy and function of muscle fibers, focusing on the critical role of the sarcolemma. Delve into the significance of myofibrils, sarcoplasm, and T-tubules. Understand the intricacies of muscle contraction and the cell's role in it.

Explore the influence of atmospheric pressure in our body's functions, particularly its essential role in pulmonary ventilation or the breathing process.

Explore stromatolites, the oldest indicators of life on Earth formed by microbial actions. Understand their presence in shallow marine environments and their connection to early eukaryotic life.

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.

Explore how viruses replicate and the various ways in which new viruses emerge. Understand the importance of mutation, cross-species transmission, and the significance of wider spread in host species for disease control strategies.
