BSC 2000: Intro to Brain and Behavior

Explore the distinct differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes. Understand their structures, organization, size, and cellular locations. Grasp how these genetic units underscore life's incredible diversity.

Explore the foundational principles of Hutton and Lyell, which shaped Darwin's evolutionary ideas. Understand uniformitarianism, deep time, and geographical patterns that inspired Darwin's theory. Discover how geology influenced biological understanding.

Explore the fascinating interaction between electrical energy charge and materials through the lens of an electroscope. Discover how inserting a conductor between its charged foil sheets changes the charge dynamics leading to an attraction between foil and needle. Understand the roles of conductors insulators and charge induction in this intriguing experiment.

Deepen your understanding of glycolysis, a foundational cellular metabolism process. Grasp how glucose transforms into pyruvate or lactate, based on the presence of oxygen. A clear insight into this process aids in exercise science and disease research.

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
