Expand to see important notes for this video. 1) This video, as stated in the description, focuses on general functions of biomolecules. The biomolecules: carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, can all can have important functions in the body. *This is a video about the general function of biomolecules. For your dietary needs, consult with a dietitian or medical doctor.* 2) We mention the popular CHO, CHO, CHON, CHONP mnemonic for major elements in the biomolecules. As we mention, these are basics. There can be more elements (such as sulfur for example in proteins), but we wanted to identify *common elements starting at the building block level.* At the building block level, *some amino acids lack sulfur* for example. It's not just sulfur. For example, there are lipids that can additionally contain phosphate or nitrogen. The popular CHO, CHO, CHON, CHONP mnemonic sticks with basic elements found even at the building block level. 3) Since this video only uses one character for carbohydrates, one character for lipids, and one character for proteins - unfortunately, when mentioning general functions of each biomolecule type, it isn't designed to show a specific type. We received a great point in an email though that, since our little lipid character is a triglyceride, this can be confusing when naming lipid functions. For example, at 3:52 in the video when saying lipids are part of the cell membrane, it would be much better if we do not show the little lipid character so there won't be any confusion as we do not want to imply that *specific* lipid type makes up the cell membrane. [Phospholipids are a major lipid type in the cell membrane although other types exist as well]. We plan to explore creating individual, detailed videos on lipids, carbs, and proteins where we can show different types.

My teacher literally does this: Shows Powerpoint, stays on a slide for like 10 seconds, says "memorize this" then moves on. Repeat like x10 everyday. This. Is. A. Lifesaver. Thank you.

High school graduate here, this comment goes out to all current and future students. I’m praying you guys find the fun in learning about our biology as well as science in general, we lack so many doctors in our society and the need for well knowledgeable humans is on a rise! Praying everyone sees the importance of school and studying, as well as for those out of school. (You don’t want to be like me and rewatching these videos for in-depth understanding, in your 20s) 🤍 God bless you all.

cramming before my exam tomorrow! Thanks so much, my teacher doesn't explain things very well so you are a total life saver!

[Trickle_Official]

That CHO CHO CHON CHONP device just saved my life! As a University student with a professor who ZOOMS through her lessons, I am so incredibly thankful for this video!! Thank you Amoeba Sisters!!!

[annabraun]

I wish my biology teacher explained biomolecules like this

[n.p.]

bio teacher: 4 weeks.
amoeba sisters: 30-60 minutes

logic? don't know her

[scms]

I'm in college and I am watching this because I have no idea what is going on.

[valeyna]

And pleaseeee welcome: class of 2023 and the people who sleep in class 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[suffersquad]

The amoeba sisters are honestly the greatest science teachers ever

[zillmiracle]

I watched this channel in class during middleschool... several years later I'm using it to study on my own 🤷🏽‍♀️

[generallukeproductions]

My biology teacher didn't even teach us anything. He just sent us the link to this video and said, " quiz tomorrow". Wish me luck!😂

[Purplepi]

All the dislikes are the students that had to take notes on this for biology

[junior-_-]

Bio teachers reading the comments 👁💧👄💧👁

[lagartotristan]

5 years old content and still helping to educate us students. Thanks!

[booyahboogie]

When I first watched the Amoeba Sisters, I thought “Oh great another one of THOSE science videos.” But this channel really isn’t that, it actually makes me smile watching the videos!

[Awine]

As someone who has been out of school for almost 10 yrs and just decided to further my education in college, this is a life saver!!!!

[himanshusingh-erdd]

Your code of CHO, CHO, CHON, CHONP was literally amazing...
Lots of love from India ❤🙏🇮🇳

Who else was forced by their Biology teacher to watch this?

[aaronthegreataar]

POV ur teacher sent u hear then u got bored now ur reading comments
