BIOL 102: Inquiry Into Life Human Biology

Explore the differences in DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Understand the benefits of separation in eukaryotes and the efficiency of proximity in prokaryotes. Both systems reveal the ingenious ways cells adapt to their needs.

Discover which metabolic pathway is the heavyweight champion of ATP production. We'll evaluate contenders like lactic acid fermentation, the Krebs cycle, and more to determine the top ATP generator.

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.

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 effects of isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. Understand water movement, solute concentration dynamics, and the resulting cellular changes, including turgidity in plants and crenation or lysis in animals.

Unlock the basics of the anatomical position, a crucial standard in medical and anatomical studies. This video clarifies the key differences among prone, supine, and standing positions and why they're not the anatomical position.
