We've been talking about animals in the context of ecology, so let's continue and examine water balance, as well as photoperiods. How do animals regulate water intake? How do they excrete waste? How do they interact with sunlight? Let's...

In this science project, you will explore how silver can be cleaned using electrochemistry and investigate how the silver cleaning reaction changes with different electrolyte salt concentrations.

The benefits of fish oil are numerous. Fish oil contains omega fatty acids and in this video I talk about omega 3 fatty acid benefits. I specifically discuss how Omega 3 fatty acids can help depression and other mental disorders. Here’s...

Just as important as learning reactions that generate carbon-carbon bonds, we need ways to cleave carbon-carbon bonds as well.This is useful for splitting a molecule up into fragments, or transforming a cyclic molecule into a linear...

In this video, we explore beta-oxidation, its mechanism, and what it produces.

In this video, we explore the pathologies of lipid peroxidation and protein-protein adducts and how they contribute to inflammation.

Introduction to Reductions & Sodium Borohydride (Theory & Problems)

NAD: Structure and Reduction of NAD to NADH

The video discusses common chemical reactions involving metals such as oxidation and reduction, the formation of positive ions, and redox reactions. It also shows the results of experiments where different metals react with water and...

Biochemical Cell Potentials: Example 1

In this video we discuss the following: [1] one major source of branched-chain fatty acids [2] the conversion of phytol to phytanoyl-CoA [3] alpha oxidation of phytanoyl-CoA

Strong C-O Bond Oxidations with Jones Reagent & KMnO4

Fatty Acid Activation

The video gives a brief overview of oxidation and reduction and then focuses on reactions at the cathode and anode in an electrolytic cell. The concept of half equations is introduced and demonstrated through examples, with a focus on...
