V_PBIO 1500: Introduction to Biological Systems With Laboratory

Discover the debate between Intelligent Design (ID) and evolutionary science as they clash over the complexity of biochemical pathways in nature. Explore the concept of guided vs. unguided evolution and how diverse pathways challenge the ID perspective.

Discover the distinctions and similarities between gymnosperms and angiosperms. Delve into their structural features, seed development processes, and pollen grain formation. Uncover why only angiosperms possess ovaries.

Gain a clear understanding of chemical equilibrium, where reactant and product concentrations stay constant due to equal forward and reverse reaction rates. Dispel common misconceptions about equilibrium, such as concentration equality and reaction reversibility.

Discover the relationship between the papillary layer of the dermis and the layers of the epidermis. Understand the structure, function, and connections that exist in our skin's anatomy.

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
