BIOL 341: Ecology

Explore how viruses replicate and the various ways in which new viruses emerge. Understand the importance of mutation, cross-species transmission, and the significance of wider spread in host species for disease control strategies.

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.

Discover the complex roles of osteogenic cells and their differentiation into bone-related cell types like osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and more. This video will also reveal the surprising origin of osteoclasts, setting them apart from their bone cell counterparts.

Explore the definitions of tissue, organ, and organ system. Understand the distinctions and interconnectedness between these components. Get an overview of the human body's eleven major organ systems and their functions.

Discover the origins of specialized cells in embryonic development and learn about the three essential germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Explore how these layers form the foundation for all multicellular life.

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.
