BIOL 206: Introductory Microbiology

Explore Fluorine's electron configuration and its impact on chemical reactivity. Learn about electron shells, orbitals, and the quest for a complete valence shell.

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.

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.

Learn why lipid-soluble signaling molecules like aldosterone only impact specific target cells. We discuss four theories and reveal that intracellular receptors present only in target cells are the key. This video demystifies the unique mechanism behind aldosterone's selective action.

Explore the significance of tracking same-age cohorts in population ecology. Learn how it aids in understanding birth and death rates, predicting population trends, and uncover the reasons behind this crucial ecological research practice.

Discover the body's innate ability to adapt to extreme cold conditions. Learn how the brain orchestrates warming responses like shivering. Grasp the concept of homeostasis in maintaining internal stability.
