Carbs are pinned to be the villains in many diets, but those poor guys are just misunderstood.

Hank talks about the molecules that make up every living thing - carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins - and how we find them in our environment and in the food that we eat.

Carbs are pinned to be the villains in many diets, but those poor guys are just misunderstood.

In this video Paul Andersen describes the lipids (of the fats). He explains how they are an important source of energy but are also required to cell membranes. He explains how the hydrocarbon tails in triglycerides contain energy...

Monosaccharides are the simplest forms of carbohydrates. Their classification, structure and examples are going to be discussed in this video.

Glucose storage in the human body happens in different ways. After eating a delicious slice of cake, our bodies need to process all the sugar we've ingested. Some is used for energy, and the excess is stored.

When 2 monosaccharides come together and form a glycosidic bond, they become a disaccharide. In this video, we will be looking at the structure and examples of disaccharides we find in nature.

Hydrolysis is a water-based chemical reaction, where water is used to break down a specific substance or molecule. In this video, we will look at a specific type of hydrolysis - hydrolysis of carbohydrates. We will learn how water is...

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...

This vide explains what sugar is, how the body processes it, and why too much of it can be bad for us. They also discuss the differences between simple and complex carbohydrates, the effects of insulin, and the benefits of exercise in...

Here we look at the reaction and results of the Starch Hydrolysis Test in Microbiology Lab.<br/>

Now that we know about simple sugars, we need to know about how these polymerize to form long polysaccharide chains, like cellulose, starch, and glycogen. Check it out!
