BIOL 1111: Introduction to Biology

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.

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 groundbreaking heterotroph hypothesis by Alexander Oparin. This video outlines how the first organisms likely consumed pre-existing organic matter reshaping how we think about the origins of life and evolution

Explore the composition of the diaphysis in long bones. Learn about the significance of compact bone in providing strength and differentiating it from other bone components.

Discover the intricacies of lymphocytes, vital immune system cells, as we uncover where they develop the ability to effectively combat foreign invaders and the unique roles of T and B lymphocytes and NK cells.

Discover the science behind thermoregulation, focusing on endotherms and ectotherms. Understand how internal metabolic processes distinguish endotherms, while ectotherms rely on environmental factors. Highlighting the adaptations each group has evolved to thrive in their habitats.
