BIOL 110: Principles of Biology I

Explore the groundbreaking heterotroph hypothesis by Alexander Oparin. This video outlines how the first organisms likely consumed pre-existing organic matter reshaping how we think about the origins of life and evolution

Unlock the intricacies of kidney function as we focus on the role of nephrons and their specific components in regulating water recovery or disposal. Understand how collecting ducts are the main player in this process and debunk common misconceptions about other nephron parts.

Discover the distinct identity of elements as we clarify the smallest unit that embodies their unique properties. Breaking down options such as electrons, isotopes, and elemental particles, this video offers a clear explanation of why atoms stand out.

Explore the key concepts that might illustrate the unity among all organisms including emergent properties descent with modification and natural selection. Understand why the structure and function of DNA ultimately stand as the best example of this unity

Explore the foundational processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Uncover the key roles of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Differentiate between the efficiencies and electron acceptors of both respiration types.
