FURTHER EXPLORATION MENTIONED IN VIDEO:

CARBOHYDRATES:

LIPIDS:
Lipids do not have a true polymer or true monomer. [Because they don't have a true polymer, many sources will include them as a non-polymeric macromolecule]
Why do lipids lack a true monomer? Unlike the others, they do not have a repeating unit.

NUCLEIC ACIDS:

I'm going to college to become an electrical engineer so I don't even need to learn this stuff, but I also remember watching your videos for bio and AP bio in high school so it's just so nice coming back here for the memories!

Monomers of all macromolecules
Proteins : amino acids
Nucleic acids : nucleotides
Polysaccharides : carbohydrates
Lipids : glycerol and fatty acids

I’m a pharmacy student and this really helped me to understand my general biology lectures 🥹

[kellyventura]

IVE BEEN WATCHING U GUYS SINCE MY FRESHMAN YEAR IN HIGHSCHOOL IM NOW IN MY LAST YEAR OF MY AA AND YOURE STILL HELPING ME THROUGH SCIENCE.
I LOVE THE AMORBA SISTERS !!!!

Who's here In 2024?? Show yourselves

[shimmeringstars]

OMG! Thank you so much, you simplified biomolecules so much ❤❤❤ Love from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[StudyHoursV]

watched 4/5 understanding. carboydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, monomer building block usually referring to same type of 'block' that makes up something larger, carbs- bread glucose. lipids -> fats oils, divercise group. proteins -> muscle tissue, receotrce, enzymes. nucleic acid -> contains gentic info.

Literally watched this a couple minutes before my biology test

I’ve been watching your vids sense 6th grade! Mind you now I am a sophomore!!!! I’ve loved seeing your channel grow along with the content/ community!!!

Hello amoeba sisters!
It is a friendly suggestion to make a video on packaging of DNA helix as it would be helpful for a lot of people :)
lots of love from India

[diegos]

I'm From Brazil and i just to thank you for this amazing videos !! The vídeos are amazing !! And they are helping to study for a medical exam !! Thanks so much !! May God Bless you !!

[Samantha-vlly]

This is the “kid videos” for med students😂

[MFconfuse]

I really love this channel hopefully you post more about biochemistry for that would help people who struggles in this subject <3

[l.j.underwood]

An updated video gives me the same excitement as a Taylor's Version album.

[tinimunson]

YAY!!! A new video from Amoeba Sisters!!!

[BelgraveOne]

Hello Amoeba Sisters, I love the biomolecules video! Even though you don't do videos on nutrition, I would like you to make a video on vitamins.

[charmainelo]

How did you know i have an exam of this coming out omg you’re my hero

[carolineboisvert]

Love the extra focus! I will definitely update the link that I use to show my biology students! Love the work you do❤

[eizazfarzeen]

Upcoming biology exam next week and this topic is in it... perfect timing!

[chisangamwemena]

I literally have a quiz 2hrs from now & this was helpful! Thank you.
