Carbohydrates Part 1: Simple Sugars and Fischer Projections

It's the night before the big game! You're carbo-loading! Wait, what are carbs? Did you know that sugar is a carbohydrate? You didn't?! Well, you'd better watch this, my friend. We will cover all the monosaccharides in their linear and cyclic form. That'll get you up to speed. Now get some sleep! You'll need to be rested if you're going to beat those kids from Khan Academy in the morning.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

Wow this made learning the biochemistry chapter 4 in my MCAT books much easier to review before doing the sample problems at the end of the chapter. Thank you so much for clearly explaining the concept, it's been really helpful!

"You'll need to be rested if you're going to beat those kids from Khan Academy in the morning." LMAO XD

You know, Professor Dave, I'm just about convinced that I need no other science gurus besides you, AK Lectures, and maybe Khan Academy. You are such a great support in my learning! Thank you!

Dude I want to cry xD I spent ages not understanding this and trying to research for ages but this 9 minute video just covered everything I needed to know lol. Thank you so much, saved my exams!

This is SUCH a great video. Finished ochem last year, a little shakey on some of the technical things, and starting nutritional aspects of biochem. Very thankful for your clarity. This is the exact type of carbohydrate / sugar review I needed.

When I finish my college degree I will never forget all the legends on YouTube who helped me understand all this

[wovn]

Wow. This was so clear & concise I can't even tell you how much I appreciate this. Thank you!

[MrPhengharry]

I like this guy, he does not talk fast and he says clearly to the point. I can remember things he says

[nursepotassium]

[gordonledwidge]

thank you so very much for making what I could not understand from teacher or text book so understandable now. you deserve to have many congratulations for your teaching method, shame some of the supposed learned teachers do not watch and learn from your amazingly simple approach to a complex amount of knowledge when you are first learning.
love and light

ah yes the good old feeling of enlightenment after watching professor dave

[timrsingh]

Thanks Professor,

My lecturer is good and after studying my notes and looking at your well thought out video, it has helped clear up some issues that I was having. The issues were in some 'basic' concepts. The simple but clear animations that you use really help in understanding.
Keep up the excellent work!
