What You Need to Know About Organic Molecules

Organic molecules, the building blocks of life, are found all throughout the universe, including planets, moons and asteroids in our own solar system.

But what does “organic” really mean? Find out what you need to know about organic molecules.

_'They can exist without us but we can't exist without them'._ A great way to wrap it up. Hits it home nicely and allows for easier information consolidation.

I like the "all you need to know" series

1:14 "you can't exist without them but they can exist without you" just like my crush, oof

You know what they say "you learn something new everyday"

It’s just so cool to know that how the universe is made up of so tiny particles which play such a great role.
Scientific fact of the day: The planet Venus doesn’t tilt as it goes around the Sun, so consequently, it has no seasons

I love all the "what you need to know about series" please make more of them!

"anything organic is safe to eat"

says my karen ex-mother in law.

then i showed her datura and benzene.

1:08 NASA: “Just because a molecule is organic, *doesn’t mean* that it indicates life” (despite being abundant in the solar system). Why? Because in order to living organisms to exist, they need more than its building block. Life is an extremely a delicate process. The more we understand life’s complex processes (see molecular biology), the more we will appreciate its uniqueness in the universe.

Let’s not take life or Earth’s unique system to sustain life for granted! We don’t have another.

I want to become an astronaut. And I'm so much interested in outer space, universe . Nasa is my first target. Btw I'm in 10th grade now.

I am a huge fan of you. My birthday is on 4th December! I am very excited about it as after 4 long years all of our family is finally going to be together in one day, after soo many family wars and problems. I just can't wait!!!

[acoperezeduardo]

Awesome!
You should upload more videos about chemistry, that could help a lot of students.
Thanks NASA!

a few billion years ago all of this was cosmic radiation - takin' the universe back
(life as center of the universe)

WOW THAT'S SO AMAZING I LOVE SCIENCE. SCIENCE IS MY LIFE💘💘

[animationspace]

Nasa should just drop out a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy low-key.

[AKrn]

I only eat 100% organic molecules. None of those artificial molecules for me!

Boa noite, um belo e fantástico vídeo, muito bom.

[sonupaswan]

Science students know that all facts..

[jimurrata]

I tell people gasoline is completely organic.
*blank stares*

But given the vast universe there's nothing to suggest that life can't be found with some other base chemistry.
Silicon is often suggested.

This 1.30 minute explanation is better than my 3 year at high school
