Course content

1 section • 11 lectures • 48m total length

  • Introduction -13:04

    Explore biomolecules—proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids like DNA—their structure, function, bonds, detection methods, and concepts such as hydrophobic versus hydrophilic amino acids, reducing sugars, and glucose isomers.

  • Carbohydrates- types,structure,homopolysaccharide,heteropolysaccharide, function7:01

    Explore saccharides and their types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides, with glucose, galactose, lactose, starch, and glycogen. Describe how these polysaccharides supply energy and serve as carbon sources.

  • Introduction-22:09

    Discover biomolecules, macromolecules and micromolecules, including carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins, formed by dehydration of monomers into polymers that power, store info, protect membranes, and regulate cells.

  • Proteins -definition, amino acids, structure, types,conjugate, derived proteins4:26

    Define proteins as nitrogenous organic macromolecules built from twenty amino acids, forming dipeptides and polypeptides through peptide bonds, and classify them as simple, conjugated, or derived proteins.

  • Proteins- primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary structure and functio4:04

    Explore the four protein structures, primary, secondary (alpha helix and beta sheets), tertiary, and quaternary, and their functions in transport, enzymes, growth and repair, and immune defense.

  • Nucleic acids- nucleotide, phospodiester bond,DNA, RNA, functions6:57

    Explore nucleic acids as polymers of nucleotides, with components nitrogenous bases, pentose sugar, and phosphate; compare DNA and RNA, their antiparallel base pairing and roles in transcription and translation.

  • Lipids - definition, esters, fatty acids, unsaturated and saturated fatty acids2:59

    Understand lipids, including fatty acids and esters, and distinguish unsaturated from saturated fats by double bonds and carboxylic group. Explore hydrogenation and the roles of LDL and HDL cholesterol.

  • Lipids- types- simple, derived and compound lipids, functions3:33

    Explore three lipid types: simple, compound, and derived, covering triglycerides, phospholipids, glycolipids, lipoproteins, sterols, prostaglandins, and bile acids, and their roles in membranes, energy, inflammation, and vitamin and hormone precursors.

  • Detection and analysis of Carbohydrates3:38

    Explore detection and analysis of carbohydrates using Benedict's and Fehling's tests for glucose and reducing sugars, hydrolysis of sucrose, and iodine test for starch, with banana, sugarcane, and potato extracts.

  • Detection of Proteins and lipids1:24

    Identify proteins and fats in foods by performing the biuret test, Millon's test, and Sudan 3 test on egg albumin and oil.

  • Bonus lecture- Reducing and Non- reducing sugar, bonds,Hydrophilic, Hydrophobic8:59

    Explore how alpha and beta glucose form alpha-1,4 and alpha-1,6 glycosidic bonds. Differentiate reducing sugars like lactose from non-reducing sucrose, and review hydrophobic and hydrophilic lipids in membranes.

  • A polysaccharide has beta-1,4 glycosidic linkage. There is no branch..it is...

Requirements

  • A device for watching videos and interest in biology

Description

  • In this course you will learn about molecules of life.

  • Biomolecules are important for the functioning of living organisms. These are building blocks of living organisms, so the presence of appropriate concentration of biomolecules are important for structure and proper function of living cells.

  • Macro biomolecules are built from small organic compounds the same way a railroad train is built. By linking   a lot of smaller units together into long chain.

  • The course encompasses the structure, monomer, examples, functions, bonds of biomolecules.

  • The overall goal of this course is to give students knowledge of biomolecules.

  • More than 90% of the content is presented in short videos ( not longer than 8 minutes.) that concisely explains concepts. Pictures are attached to explore the concepts briefly.

  • This course will be taught through power point presentation, pre-recorded lectures and quizzes.

  • After completing this course students would be able to fully prepare for examination and be able to compare the structure , function of biomolecules including Carbohydrates, lipids, Proteins, lipids.

  • You learn role of macromolecules in the body. How biomolecules relate to day to day life.

  • You can differentiate between RNA and DNA.

  • This course will taught with applications to real world.

  • You can differentiate between glycosidic bond, phospodiester bond, peptide bond, hydrogen bond, ester bond. Where they are present , their structure.

  • You  differentiate between Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic amino acids.
