BIOL 106: Biologic Prin 1

Discover the differences between hydrocarbons and other organic molecules. While hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen, other organic molecules integrate more elements and functional groups. This distinction leads to diverse chemical properties and vital biological functions.

This data-driven video examines the difference in nucleotide replication rates between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, providing insights into the factors affecting their speed. It concludes that prokaryotes outpace eukaryotes, replicating nucleotides approximately ten times faster, and explores the contributing factors behind this difference.

Explore the mysterious rise of MRSA following a battle against S. aureus with methicillin. Delve into various theories, and uncover the power of natural selection in shaping bacterial communities.

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.

Unravel the intricate relationship between histones and DNA. Learn how histones maintain DNA structure within the cell nucleus and understand the significance of charge attractions in DNA-histone binding.

Explore the intricate process of mitosis and the crucial role it plays in cellular division. Learn how cell cycle control mechanisms, including cyclin degradation and Maturation Promoting Factor (MPF) activity, ensure accurate and regulated cell division.
