Hans, the integrated circiuit (IC), stops by the lab and explains the role of ICs in an electrical circuit. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
The Australian Koala Foundation works diligently to educate authorities about the probable destruction of this familiar animal. Closeup photography reveals its habitat, social structure, characteristics, mating habits, and interaction. Compromises between the needs of people and the eucalyptus habitat needs of the koalas mean hope for its future.
Some plants have leaves and some have needles, but they all need a way to absorb sunlight, nutrients, air, and water. Shares a basic overview of plant structure and the essential role plants have on earth. Defines deciduous, coniferous, photosynthesis, and capillary action. Suggests several classroom experiments.
Petunia and Pinky introduce viewers to bacteria in this episode. They discuss bacterial structure, reproduction, and how not all bacteria are bad. Other topics covered include endospores, plasmids, and bacteria transformation. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Details the relationship between bees and flowers. Discusses the importance of pollination. Explains the bee's life stages and anatomical features. Looks at the advanced communication and social skills of bees. Covers the social structure of bees and discusses the difference in job duties between males and females. Describes how bees make honey.
Part of "The Living Oceans" series. Reveals the height and structure of undersea kelp forests inhabited by garibaldi, sea urchins, senorita fish, octopi, moray eels, and sea otters. Shows winter storms detaching kelp from their holdfasts to provide floating nurseries for another generation of fish and other marine animals.
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. Describes the discovery of viruses and their structure, how viruses are studied, how they infect their hosts, and how they replicate. Provides details on the T-4 bacteriophage and retroviruses, such as HIV.
What is the largest living thing on earth? What are the four levels of a forest? Bill Nye explores a forest, its purpose, and its by-products. Visit different kinds of forests, a timberline, and a forest fire.
Host Emily Graslie meets with Dr. Ryan Felice to discuss the 3-D surface scanner, which he uses to create digital representations of skeletal anatomy. He visits various museums and scans their collections hoping to help preserve research findings. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Host Alex Dainis discusses mitrochondrial DNA, which is the smallest circular chromosome found inside mitochondria. These organelles found in cells have often been called the powerhouse of the cell. The mitochondria, and thus mitochondrial DNA, are passed almost exclusively from mother to offspring through the egg cell.
Craters of the Moon is a vast ocean of lava flows with scattered islands of cinder cones and sagebrush. Idaho’s Craters of the Moon formed during eight major eruptive periods between 15,000 and 2,000 years ago. The monument continues to go through subtle changes caused by natural and human processes.
The scientific explanation of global warming rests in the understand of the element carbon. Carbon is the central element of life, and its atomic structure enables it to hold onto other elements. This characteristic provides the relationship between carbon and global warming. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
In this behind-the-scenes glimpse into the skeletal collections at The Field Museum, host Emily Graslie examines various elephant skeletons. Bill Stanley, Director of the Gantz Family Collections Center, describes the differences in skull structure between the species. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Updates the five kingdoms classification scheme with the latest understanding of life's organization based on DNA, fossil, and biochemical evidence, reorganizing all life into three great branches: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya. Shows concise animations and superb microscope footage of primitive cells.
The residents of Block Island fight to save a sea side lighthouse from beach erosion. They join together and hire a team of brothers to move the lighthouse back from the cliffs. The 2,000 ton structure is moved 300 feet in an effort to save it from the ongoing erosion of the bluffs along the coast of Rhode Island.
Learn about some of the bold and brilliant ideas researchers and conservationists have to rescue corals and coral reefs from disaster. Part of the "Coral Comeback" series.
From end to end, its forelimbs alone measured an incredible 2.4 meters long and were tipped with big, comma-shaped claws. But other than its bizarre arms, very little material from this dinosaur had been found: no skull, no feet. Scientists were unable to create a full picture of this dinosaur until they began exploring quarries in 2006 and 2009. Part of the "Eons" series.
Part of the "The Biology Classics" series. Daphnia are small, planktonic crustaceans. Provides a classic study in arthropod behavior and anatomy. Examines the eye, brain, jaws, intestine, legs (with gills), and heart. Identifies two kinds of eggs: those that hatch directly into female daphnia and resistant eggs that carry the species through periods of freezing and drying.
Figure 2.27 (OpenStax, Biology 2e) caption: These functional groups are in many different biological molecules. R, also known as R-group, is an abbreviation for any group in which a carbon or hydrogen atom is attached to the rest of the molecule.
