Hank introduces us to comparative anatomy, which studies the similarities and differences in animal anatomy to support the theory of evolution and the shared ancestry of living things.
The video resource "Comparative Anatomy: What Makes Us Animals - Crash Course Biology #21" is included in the "Biology" course from the resources series of "Crash Course". Crash Course is a educational video series from John and Hank Green.
Paul Andersen shows you how to compare DNA sequences to understand evolutionary relationships. He starts with a brief introduction to cladograms and evolutionary relationships. He shows you how to classify DNA relationships using a percent match. He finally shows you how to compare DNA sequences between organisms using the NCBI and NCBI BLAST websites.
Paul Andersen explains how eukaryotic cells use compartmentalization to increase the surface area and level of specialization within the cell. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared and contrasted. The role of both the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum are discussed.
Hank continues our exploration of animal phyla with the more complexly organized annelida and arthropoda, and a biolography on insects.

Concepts of Biology is designed for the introductory biology course for nonmajors taught at most two- and four-year colleges. The scope, sequence, and level of the program are designed to match typical course syllabi in the market. Concepts of Biology includes interesting applications, features a rich art program, and conveys the major themes of biology.
In this survey text, directed at those not majoring in biology, we dispel the assumption that a little learning is a dangerous thing. We hope that by skimming the surface of a very deep subject, biology, we may inspire you to drink more deeply and make more informed choices relating to your health, the environment, politics, and the greatest subject that are all of us are entwined in, life itself. This text also includes 80 interactive H5P activities that you can use to evaluate your understanding as you go.
Conservation Biology in Sub-Saharan Africa comprehensively explores the challenges and potential solutions to key conservation issues in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Easy to read, this lucid and accessible textbook includes fifteen chapters that cover a full range of conservation topics, including threats to biodiversity, environmental laws, and protected areas management, as well as related topics such as sustainability, poverty, and human-wildlife conflict. This rich resource also includes a background discussion of what conservation biology is, a wide range of theoretical approaches to the subject, and concrete examples of conservation practice in specific African contexts. Strategies are outlined to protect biodiversity whilst promoting economic development in the region.
The video resource "Conservation and Restoration Ecology: Crash Course Ecology #12" is included in the "Ecology" course from the resources series of "Crash Course". Crash Course is a educational video series from John and Hank Green.
This "Construction of a DNA Library" learning object is the from the Sumanas resource series. Sumanas offers a robust selection of content and services that are directed at enhancing the learning experience.
Paul Andersen emphasizes the importance of cooperation in living systems. He starts with a brief description of game theory and why countries at peace do better over the long term. He then explains how microscopic cells cooperate in the rumen of a cow, how organelles cooperate in a cell, and how organs cooperate in the digestive system.

Paul Andersen explains the importance role of coupled reactions in biology. He starts by explaining how the power of a river can be harnessed by a water mill to grind grains. He describes the importance of ATP and how it is used within living organisms. He highlights many of the coupled reactions between the Sun and your thumb.
This casebook opens up modes of inquiry into Western knowledge foundations, asking students to embrace epistemological uncertainty as a productive means of developing critical thinking skills.
