Explore the four biomolecules and their importance for organisms and the structure and function of their cells! This 2023 UPDATED Biomolecules Amoeba Sisters video has some more detail and improved art from the 2016 Amoeba Sisters...

This video focuses on general functions of biomolecules. The biomolecules: carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, can all can have important functions in the body. However, this video is not giving human dietary guidelines and...

Why is RNA just as cool as DNA? Join the Amoeba Sisters as they compare and contrast RNA with DNA and learn why DNA should be sharing the limelight! Table of Contents: 00:00 Intro 0:54 Similarities of DNA and RNA 1:35 Contrasting DNA and...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the structure of a biomolecule fits the function of the biomolecule. For example and enzyme must interact correctly with a substrate to lower the activation energy, The covalent and non-covalent...

So far in this series we’ve focused on molecules with tens of atoms in them, but in organic chemistry molecules can get way bigger! Polymers are molecules that contain hundreds, thousands, or even millions of identical subunits. In this...

Paul Andersen describes the four major biological molecules found in living things. He begins with a brief discussion of polymerization. Dehydration synthesis is used to connect monomers into polymers and hydrolysis breaks them down...

Paul Andersen explains how polymers are formed from monomers. He describes how carbohydrates, protein and nucleic acids are created through condensation reactions. He also explains how these macromolecules are broken down through the...

A video entitled "Chemistry of Plastics" which talks about natural and synthetic polymers.

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) uses a gel matrix formed by polymerizing acrylamide and bis-acrylamide through free radicals generated by TEMED and APS. This exothermic polymerization forms linear chains cross-linked into a 3D...

Carbon-based molecules are the basis of life as we know it. Molecules like lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates that make up all living things have one thing in common - carbon.

A small molecule that can chemically bond in chains or groups to other similar molecules, to form larger molecules called polymers.

The video discusses the structures and properties of polymers and explores two different ways of producing them, addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The video also highlights the difference between the two...

In this video we look at this question: Quel genre de musique ou de film préfères-tu ? - What kind of music or movie do you prefer? (AQA Theme 1 - Identity and culture, Topic 3 - Media and free time)

The video provides an overview of addition polymerization, explaining the process of how monomers can be joined together to form larger molecules called polymers. It discusses the use of functional groups that can react to form bonds...

This video is a tutorial on addition polymerization, the process of joining monomers together to form polymers. It explains the use of functional groups and double bonds in alkenes to create single bonds in polymers. The video also...

This video is an educational guide about condensation polymerization, which is the process used to make polymers that form repeating units of different molecules by eliminating a small molecule, usually water. The video explains the...
