Macromolecules Review

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
