This video discusses the impact of caffeine on athletic performance, particularly in endurance sports. Researchers at the University of Birmingham found that a moderate amount of caffeine can enhance the delivery and utilization of...

In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy explores the dynamics of sugar in the body, covering topics like monosaccharides, disaccharides, glucose, insulin, and the effects of exercise on sugar regulation. Discover how...

Learn how we digestive enzymes such as amylase, proteases and lipases to break down carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. We also cover where the enzymes are made and what they break each food group down to.

This video covers:

- Examples of polymers that occur naturally, inclu
ding:
- Polypeptides, which are made of a
mino acids
- DNA, which is made
of nucleotides
- Carbohydrates, which
are made of sugars
