You do a good job of explaining the difference between the carbs, fats, and proteins. Glad to have a better understanding between the different compounds.
The explanation of the structure and functioning of carbohydrates was most useful to me. Out of the four organic compounds, carbohydrates has always been the most difficult for me to understand. Thank you for explaining the difference between poly- and oligo-. I also appreciate you listing out the several functions of carbohydrates. Bio 327 Fall 2019
I appreciate the explanation given when describing the different organic compounds and their functions. This made understanding the difference between carbohydrates, lipids and proteins easier.
Great breakdown of the different types of Organic Compounds and the role they have in the human body. The use of the colors and organization also made it easier to understand the concepts.
This video is very good for going over it to make sure that you know the material well because this fundamental information is important to understand the body systems.
I think it was very helpful that you clarified the organic term that the lecture was on as the word "organic" is now marketed to buyers to make them sound healthier than things that are not organic.
This is a nice video to rewatch throughout the semester, as I feel we continue returning to organic compounds in different type of body systems, among other topics.
This video is really informative because he explains basic knowledge about organic compounds (carb, protein, lipid, and nucleic acid) that we have to know for our life! Thank you :)
Very useful to have this as a chemistry review and to have to come back to in the future. It is much easier to understand and really helps that you write and draw along with your lectures and videos.
I have taken general chemisty and it has been very interesting. I am majoring in biochemistry and this video is a very good review for me. Your videos are very informative and something I can take away from.
You did a good job at providing examples of carbohydrates. The other three, in my opinion, needed better examples in terms of structure and known molecules. For example, the lipids section would have been awesome if it had a drawing of your typical triglyceride or phospholipid. In the nucleic acid section, you could have listed the 4 known nucleotides.
I really enjoyed this video, but would I have liked to see some structural drawings. Seeing the structure of these different organic compounds might be helpful for some. By including structures we can better visualize how structure determines function!
I like how you described the different types of compounds. My question is with new diets coming out everyday, like the Keto diet where they cut out carbs completely, is it smart to cut out carbs? Is there such thing as good carbs and bad carbs?
You briefly discuss in the beginning of the video how organic compounds are a combination of carbon and hydrogen. When introducing each compound, it would have been nice to see the molecular structure of the compound to tie in your into with the explanation of the compound.
What defines a marketing organic? We see “organic foods” and labels everywhere now. Also, never knew what -oligo meant until this video (didn’t look it up in our medical terminology book). Also the discussion on carbohydrates had me think about those who eat a very low carb diet. Could not consuming enough carbohydrates disrupt cell signaling and bodily functions?
MESA_MEDA110 Fall 2020: I love that you explained the word "organic" as a marketing strategy, i really did laugh out loud at that one, if we think about it most foods, even genetically modified are organic, and although there are a lot of different compounds in the human body that are inorganic, we can say even the human body is organic, so it is important to know the difference between organic, referring to an organism and organic as in "The Label says it's Organic"... dang hippies!
