This Biology video tutorial provides a basic introduction into biomolecules. It covers the 4 types of biological macromolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. It contains plenty of examples and practice problems.
Here is a list of topics:
0:00 - Name The 4 Types of Macromolecules
1:13 - Monosaccharides and Disaccharides - Glucose, Fructure, Galactose, Ribose, and Sucrose
9:19 - Polysaccharides - Glycogen, Starch, Cellulose, and Chitin
12:37 - Protein Monomers
13:45 - Identifying Amino Acids, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, and Triglycerides
17:57 - Identifying Polar and Nonpolar Amino Acids
20:01 - Dehydration Synthesis and Hydrolysis Reactions
24:29 - Hemoglobin, Myoglobin, Keratin, Collagen, and Testosterone
26:33 - Identifying Protein Based Enzymes - Lactase, Protease, Amylase, and Lipase
28:25 - Using Suffixes to Identify Enzymes, Proteins, and Amino Acids - Polymerase, Albumin, Ferritin, Insulin & Histidine
30:56 - Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids. Phospholipid Bilayer and Cell Membranes.
38:22 - Components of a Nucleotide - Ribose Sugar, Phosphate Group, and a Nitrogenous Base. Water Solubility of a Triglyceride.
43:51 - Identifying Lipids such as Terpenes, Estrogen, and Prostaglandins
46:36 - Identifying Nitrogenous Bases - Purines and Pyrimidines
48:30 - Types of Elements In Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids and Monosaccharides
54:11 - Glycosidic Linkages In Amylose, Amylopectin, and Cellulose. Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quarternary Structures of Proteins. Function of Chaperonins.
