BIO 41362: General Biology II

Explore the world of Spirillum bacteria, their spiral shape, and their distinct features. Contrast them with Spirochetes, highlighting differences in flagella and structure. Understand key characteristics that set Spirillum apart from other bacteria.

Discover how humans adapt to cold environments through thermoregulation processes. Understand the body's heat conservation and generation mechanisms. Learn why certain physiological responses occur in cold conditions.

Discover the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis detailing Earth's primordial conditions and the potential birth of life. Learn about the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules, the rise of protobionts, and the evolution to the first true cells.

Learn about the composition of arteries focusing on those closer to the heart. Understand the role of endothelium smooth muscle fibers elastic fibers and collagen in these arterial structures. Discover why arteries near the heart have a higher percentage of elastic fibers to withstand pressure changes effectively.

Discover what sets muscle cells apart from nerve cells in the complex world of cellular biology. Our video zeroes in on gene expression explaining how it's the key difference between these two cell types. Equip yourself with the knowledge to better understand cellular function and diversity.
