Crash Course Biology - Season 1

S01 E012012-01-30

That's Why Carbon Is A TrampAnd thus begins the most revolutionary biology course in history. Come and learn about covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds. What about electron orbitals, the octet rule, and what does it all have to do with a mad man named Gilbert Lewis? It's all contained within.

S01 E022012-02-06

Water - Liquid AwesomeHank teaches us why water is one of the most fascinating and important substances in the universe.

S01 E032012-02-13

S01 E042012-02-20

Eukaryopolis - The City of Animal CellsHank tells us about the city of Eukaryopolis - the animal cell that is responsible for all the cool things that happen in our bodies.

S01 E052012-02-27

In Da Club - Membranes & TransportHank describes how cells regulate their contents and communicate with one another via mechanisms within the cell membrane.

S01 E062012-03-05

Plant CellsHank describes why plants are so freaking amazing - discussing their evolution, and how their cells are both similar to & different from animal cells.

S01 E072012-03-12

ATP & RespirationIn which Hank does some push ups for science and describes the "economy" of cellular respiration and the various processes whereby our bodies create energy in the form of ATP.

S01 E082012-03-19

PhotosynthesisHank explains the extremely complex series of reactions whereby plants feed themselves on sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and also create some by products we're pretty fond of as well.

S01 E092012-03-26

HeredityHank and his brother John discuss heredity via the gross example of relative ear wax moistness.

S01 E102012-04-02

DNA Structure and ReplicationHank introduces us to that wondrous molecule deoxyribonucleic acid - also known as DNA - and explains how it replicates itself in our cells.

S01 E112012-04-09

DNA, Hot Pockets, & The Longest Word EverHank imagines himself breaking into the Hot Pockets factory to steal their secret recipes and instruction manuals in order to help us understand how the processes known as DNA transcription and translation allow our cells to build proteins.

S01 E122012-04-16

Mitosis: Splitting Up is ComplicatedHank describes mitosis and cytokinesis - the series of processes our cells go through to divide into two identical copies.

S01 E132012-04-23

Meiosis: Where the Sex StartsHank gets down to the nitty gritty about meiosis, the special type of cell division that is necessary for sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms.

Natural SelectionHank guides us through the process of natural selection, the key mechanism of evolution.

S01 E152012-05-07

S01 E182012-05-28

Population Genetics: When Darwin Met MendelHank talks about population genetics, which helps to explain the evolution of populations over time by combing the principles of Mendel and Darwin, and by means of the Hardy-Weinberg equation.

S01 E202012-06-11

Evolution: It's a ThingHank gets real with us in a discussion of evolution - it's a thing, not a debate. Gene distribution changes over time, across successive generations, to give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization.

S01 E212012-06-18

Comparative Anatomy: What Makes Us AnimalsHank 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.

S01 E222012-06-25

Simple Animals: Sponges, Jellies, & OctopusesHank introduces us to the "simplest" of the animals, complexity-wise: beginning with sponges (whose very inclusion in the list as "animals" has been called into question because they are so simple) and finishing with the most complex molluscs, octopuses and squid. We differentiate them by the number of tissue layers they have, and by the complexity of those layers.

S01 E232012-07-02

Complex Animals: Annelids & ArthropodsHank continues our exploration of animal phyla with the more complexly organized annelida and arthropoda, and a biolography on insects.

S01 E242012-07-09

ChordatesHank introduces us to ourselves by taking us on a journey through the fascinatingly diverse phyla known as chordata. And the next time someone asks you who you are, you can give them the facts: you're a mammalian amniotic tetrapodal sarcopterygian osteichthyen gnathostomal vertebrate cranial chordate.

S01 E252012-07-16

Animal BehaviorHank and his cat Cameo help teach us about animal behavior and how we can discover why animals do the things they do.

S01 E262012-07-23

The Nervous SystemHank and his cat Cameo help teach us about animal behavior and how we can discover why animals do the things they do.

S01 E272012-07-30

Circulatory & Respiratory SystemsHank takes us on a trip around the body - we follow the circulatory and respiratory systems as they deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from cells, and help make it possible for our bodies to function.

S01 E282012-08-13

The Digestive SystemHank takes us on the fascinating journey through our excretory system to learn how our kidneys make pee.

S01 E292012-08-13

The Excretory System: From Your Heart to the ToiletHank takes us on the fascinating journey through our excretory system to learn how our kidneys make pee.

S01 E302012-08-20

The Skeletal System: It's ALIVE!Hank introduces us to the framework of our bodies, our skeleton, which apart from being the support and protection for all our fleshy parts, is involved in many other vital processes that help our bodies to function properly.

S01 E312012-08-27

Big Guns: The Muscular SystemHank tells us the story of the complicated chemical dance that allows our skeletal muscles to contract and relax.

S01 E322012-09-03

S01 E332012-09-10

Great Glands - Your Endocrine SystemHank tells us about the team of deadly ninja assassins that is tasked with protecting our bodies from all the bad guys that want to kill us - also known as our immune system.

S01 E342012-09-17

The Reproductive System: How Gonads Go

S01 E352012-09-24

Old & Odd: Archaea, Bacteria & ProtistsHank veers away from human anatomy to teach us about the (mostly) single-celled organisms that make up two of the three taxonomic domains of life, and one of the four kingdoms: Archaea, Bacteria, and Protists. They are by far the most abundant organisms on Earth, and are our oldest, oddest relatives.

S01 E362012-10-01

The Sex Lives of Nonvascular Plants: Alternation of GenerationsHank introduces us to nonvascular plants - liverworts, hornworts & mosses - which have bizarre features, kooky habits, and strange sex lives. Nonvascular plants inherited their reproductive cycle from algae, but have perfected it to the point where it is now used by all plants in one way or another, and has even left traces in our own reproductive systems.

S01 E372012-10-08

Vascular Plants = Winning!Hank introduces us to one of the most diverse and important families in the tree of life - the vascular plants. These plants have found tremendous success and the their secret is also their defining trait: conductive tissues that can take food and water from one part of a plant to another part. Though it sounds simple, the ability to move nutrients and water from one part of an organism to another was a evolutionary breakthrough for vascular plants, allowing them to grow exponentially larger, store food for lean times, and develop features that allowed them to spread farther and faster. Plants dominated the earth long before animals even showed up, and even today hold the world records for the largest, most massive, and oldest organisms on the planet.

S01 E382012-10-15

The Plants & The Bees: Plant ReproductionHank gets into the dirty details about vascular plant reproduction: they use the basic alternation of generations developed by nonvascular plants 470 million years ago, but they've tricked it out so that it works a whole lot differently compared to the way it did back in the Ordovician swamps where it got its start. Here's how the vascular plants (ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms) do it.

S01 E392012-10-22

Fungi: Death Becomes ThemDeath is what fungi are all about. By feasting on the deceased remains of almost all organisms on the planet, converting the organic matter back into soil from which new life will spring, they perform perhaps the most vital function in the global food web. Fungi, which thrive on death, make all life possible.

S01 E402012-10-29

Ecology - Rules for Living on EarthHank introduces us to ecology - the study of the rules of engagement for all of us earthlings - which seeks to explain why the world looks and acts the way it does. The world is crammed with things, both animate and not, that have been interacting with each other all the time, every day, since life on this planet began, and these interactions depend mostly on just two things... Learn what they are as Crash Course Biology takes its final voyage outside the body and into the entire world.
