Biochemistry and Biology

Study Biochemistry using Online Video

Here is Part 1 of the topic on Biochemistry. With this title, you'll discover the biological importance of lipids and carbohydrates and learn about the structure and function of glucose. You will also examine the basic types of RNA and study the complexity of protein synthesis and the nature of enzymes. Use these 5 online educational video titles to discover the common types of biological molecules and the basic principles of cellular function. Explore the biological significance of carbohydrates and lipids. Learn about the structure and role of glucose, the structural combinations of sugar molecules, glucose breakdown, and the role of ribose in photosynthesis and nucleoside triphosphate chemistry.

Learning Objectives:

• Name the types of chemical bonds that most frequently characterize biological molecules.
• Examine the structure and function of two carbohydrate sugars, glucose and ribose.
• Discuss the function of waxes, fats, sterols, and phospholipids; identify the mechanism that makes molecules water-soluble; and explain why lipids have a low solubility in water.
• Discuss the functions of adenosine triphosphate, cellulose, nucleic acids, and starch.
• Survey six basic functions performed by proteins in a living organism, and discuss the role of the amino acid sequence in determining the folding of protein molecules
