BIOL 30233: Human Physiology

We explore how to determine the nature of a mysterious, gelatinous substance found on a forest rock. By conducting a series of tests, including microscopy, DNA staining, respiration observation, and growth experiments, we aim to unravel whether this enigmatic material is alive, inanimate, or a product of a living organism.

Dive into the biochemistry of haemoglobin, a pivotal protein in red blood cells. We assess key statements about its structure and function, clarifying common misconceptions.

Discover the debate between Intelligent Design (ID) and evolutionary science as they clash over the complexity of biochemical pathways in nature. Explore the concept of guided vs. unguided evolution and how diverse pathways challenge the ID perspective.

Explore the fascinating world of adult tissue regeneration in this video. Discover the origins of new connective tissue cells and unravel the link between embryonic development and tissue differentiation in the human body.

Nucleic acids, comprising DNA and RNA, are vital biomolecules encoding genetic information. We explore the structure and components of their monomers, nucleotides, emphasizing the role of nitrogenous bases and the significance of polynucleotide chains in storing genetic data.
