BIOL 1104: Introductory Biology II

Explore the influence of atmospheric pressure in our body's functions, particularly its essential role in pulmonary ventilation or the breathing process.

Discover the fundamentals of the respiratory system and the primary muscle behind inspiration. This video breaks down the physiological process of breathing, the key role of the diaphragm, and why other muscles don't initiate breathing.

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.

This video provides a comprehensive explanation of mucous and serous membranes, defining their characteristics and addressing statements about their epithelial types, functions, and exceptions.

Explore the indispensable role of decomposers in ecosystems. Understand their impact on nutrient cycling, energy flow, and ecological balance. Realize what Earth would face without these vital organisms.

Explore the foundational processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Uncover the key roles of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Differentiate between the efficiencies and electron acceptors of both respiration types.
