PAES | Biología | Macromoléculas | Puntaje Nacional Chile YouTube Video Summary
Eduardo Benavides, a biology professor at Puntaje Nacional in Chile, delivers a succinct presentation focusing on Biomolecules, relating them to the chemistry, biology and PAES test. A few examples are given and used to make the content more understandable. He also mentions that one can connect all of this information back to your DNA as well.
Detailed Summary:
PAES | Biología | Macromoléculas Introduction
Eduardo Benavides, a biology professor at Puntaje Nacional shares some information about Biomolecules and it's effect on life in a youtube video.
Course Details
Important molecules to understand include: lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. It's good to picture in your mind folders for these molecules as well to keep them separate and easy to understand. An example of an important concept is what happens when we have a lot of sodium that increases thirst, so more water is consumed to balance things out. It's also good to note that people are lost with the details and hard to remember topics. For the PAES test, know that they test the concepts and not that you can remember all the complex details about each specific thing.
Biomolecule details
- Lipids == fats (poor water solubility)
- Proteins == polymers of amino acids
- Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Azufre = what they are all made up of
More about protein synthesis
The class then goes on to explain synthesis, what happens when the proteins are ingested? and the function of certain processes like electrolysis and so on.
Closing Remarks
After the lesson, the professor wraps up with some encouraging words and mentions that even if you don't understand something or cannot grasp it right away, to do it anyways, to get it done, and make an effort to learn anyway.
