BIOL 11: Principles of Biology II

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 the intricate layers of organization in the human body. From molecules to the complete organism, understand the sequential formation of our biological structure. Uncover the reasons behind incorrect hierarchical interpretations.

Explore the influential Three-Domain System of classification, introduced by Carl Woese in 1978. Discover how it categorizes life into Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya based on distinctive cellular structures. Learn about the characteristics of each domain, from prokaryotic Bacteria and Archaea to the rich diversity within Eukarya, encompassing Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals, and the unique world of viruses.

Explore the intricate components of the endomembrane system within a cell. Identify which structures belong to this system and which do not, with a specific focus on the unique role of the chloroplast.

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.
