BIOL 1345: Biology I for Nursing Students

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.

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 distinct approaches of bioremediation and biological augmentation in managing environmental issues. Learn how organisms are utilized for pollutant degradation or enhancing ecological functions to mitigate environmental degradation.

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

Uncover why flamingos, genetically predisposed to white feathers, sport a pink hue. Dismissing influences like weather and DNA mutations, the mystery unravels with diet: the intake of carotenoids from their food which overrides their genetic blueprint

Learn the distinctions between dispersal and vicariance in biology. Understand how organisms' movements and environmental changes play crucial roles in allopatric speciation. Grasp the differences between movement across existing barriers and the creation of new barriers.
