Biomolecules (Older Video 2016)

[@AmoebaSisters]

This video has been updated! See the 2023 UPDATED video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3XbaH96rK6Bgrc Expand to see important notes for this video. 1) This video, as stated in the description, focuses on general functions of biomolecules. The biomolecules: carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, can all can have important functions in the body. *This is a video about the general function of biomolecules. For your dietary needs, consult with a dietitian or medical doctor.* 2) We mention the popular CHO, CHO, CHON, CHONP mnemonic for major elements in the biomolecules. As we mention, these are basics. There can be more elements (such as sulfur for example in proteins), but we wanted to identify *common elements starting at the building block level.* At the building block level, *some amino acids lack sulfur* for example. It's not just sulfur. For example, there are lipids that can additionally contain phosphate or nitrogen. The popular CHO, CHO, CHON, CHONP mnemonic sticks with basic elements found even at the building block level. 3) Since this video only uses one character for carbohydrates, one character for lipids, and one character for proteins - unfortunately, when mentioning general functions of each biomolecule type, it isn't designed to show a specific type. We received a great point in an email though that, since our little lipid character is a triglyceride, this can be confusing when naming lipid functions. For example, at 3:52 in the video when saying lipids are part of the cell membrane, it would be much better if we do not show the little lipid character so there won't be any confusion as we do not want to imply that *specific* lipid type makes up the cell membrane. [Phospholipids are a major lipid type in the cell membrane although other types exist as well]. We plan to explore creating individual, detailed videos on lipids, carbs, and proteins where we can show different types. UPDATE: We have videos dubbed in Spanish and Portuguese using an artificial voice via aloud.area120.google.com to increase accessibility.

Hi, I love you guys

[@annonymusanno6088]

i love your colorful videos and childish way of explaining that makes everything sooo easy

[@cecccEae]

Thank you for helping me understand what my biology teacher is talking about. Oh and i used the whole CHONP system in my essay and it helped sooo much thank you.

[@AmoebaSisters]

@@autumnstrebel7894 Just checking if you are referring to the biomolecule structure sketches at 7:45? For nucleotides, those are carbon rings so the carbons are found at each point of the carbon ring. We have a little notation in the video about those rings at 7:45 :) It's definitely true that carbons will be in all of them!

[@chloejohnson3230]

High school graduate here, this comment goes out to all current and future students. I’m praying you guys find the fun in learning about our biology as well as science in general, we lack so many doctors in our society and the need for well knowledgeable humans is on a rise! Praying everyone sees the importance of school and studying, as well as for those out of school. (You don’t want to be like me and rewatching these videos for in-depth understanding, in your 20s) 🤍 God bless you all.
