Biomolecules (Updated)

Updated video on biomolecules (macromolecules): carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids by the Amoeba Sisters including examples, functions, monomers, and structures! This video has a handout here: (Note: The old version of this video was called biomolecule band.)\r
\r
Video Note: Video mentions that many do not consider lipids to have true monomers. This is due to the f that their building blocks are made of two different substances (glycerol and fatty acids) that attach to each other--rather than attaching as one type of monomer to another. Also, due the the diversity of lipids, there are lipids that have a very different structure than discussed in this video.\r

The Amoeba Sisters videos demystify science with humor and relevance. The videos center on Pinkys certification and experience in teaching science at the high school level. Pinkys teacher certification is in grades 4-8 science and 8-12 composite science (encompassing biology, chemistry, and physics). Amoeba Sisters videos only cover concepts that Pinky is certified to teach, and they focus on her specialty: secondary life science. For more information about The Amoeba Sisters, visit: \r

We cover the basics in biology concepts at the secondary level. If you are looking to discover more about biology and go into depth beyond these basics, our recommended reference is the FREE, peer reviewed, open source OpenStax biology textbook: \r
