BSC 1011: Biology II

Explore the sensory marvels of the male silkworm moth known as Bombyx mori and how they detect specific chemical signals from females. Uncover a hypothesis about the unique sensitivity of the moth's antennae and a prediction stemming from it. Learn how to design an experiment to test this hypothesis and deepen your understanding of insect behavior.

Get insights into the role of lysosomes in different cell types. Find out which cell is the ideal choice for studying these powerful digestive organelles and why.

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 significance of coronary arteries in heart health, where they branch from, and their role in delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. Learn the differences between the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and pulmonary trunk in relation to the coronary arteries.

Dive into the structural and functional differences between cardiac and skeletal muscles. Discover unique features, like intercalated discs and neuromuscular junctions, that set them apart. Understand the similarities and distinctions to answer a quiz question effectively.

Discover the essence of hydrostatic pressure and its significance in capillary beds, examining its relationship with colloid osmotic pressure and how it affects fluid movement in our circulatory system.
