    I remember watching this in Bio 1 back in 2017 as a first year bio major at 22 years old who finally decided he wanted to be a doctor after years of part time jobs and part time community college classes 😂, skip to January 2023 and I’m here casually reviewing as a first year med student 😂 cmon guys! You got this, there will be horrible days, good days, & great days.
    Best of luck! ❤
    PS- thank you crash course, thank you so much ❤❤❤

    It has been eight years since this video was uploaded. I watched it for the first time about four or five years ago, when I was in high school. I prepared for the biology exam by these videos. I wathced this course when I was on the first year of medical university. And now I'm watching it again. I'm already finishing the third year and I teach biology scholars who, like myself some time ago, are about to enroll a med university. This is awesome. Thank you, Hank, and thanks to all of the CrashCourse team for this truly the greatest course of biology ever made.

    Trying to test out of bio 101 so I can eventually get my third degree: NURSING (thanx Hank)
    Along with that here is what I quickly typed down as a sort of SUMMARY, feel free to fix:
     William Prout discovered our stomachs have hydrochloric acid and discovered chemical composition of urea. Also discovered food is divided into carbs, fats, and proteins
     Carbohydrates are the source of all energy
     Carbs are made of sugars with the simplest being monosaccharides
     Glucose, a monosaccharide, number 1 sugar that comes from the sun
     Fructose, same chemical as glucose, but arranged differently, and is sweeter
     Disaccharides are two monosaccharides put together
     Sucrose, fructose and glucose connected, is a disaccharide joined by a covalent bond
     Polysaccharides are thousands of simple sugar units
     Cellulose is a bunch of glucose molecules
     Bread is made of starch and amylase
     Our bodies store carbs in form of glycogen in our muscle until we need to use them
     We store our energy long term through fat aka lipids
     Lipids are non polar and can’t dissolve in water
     Fats are made of glycerol and fatty acids
     Saturated fats don’t have double bonds, while unsaturated fats do
     Trans fat do not exist in nature and are unsaturated and bad for the body
     Omega 3 fats, unsaturated, are essential but we need to eat them in order to get them
     Phospholipids form cell membrane walls to keep bad stuff out and good stuff in
     Phospholipids are one end polar and one end non polar
     Steroids, a phospholipid made of 4 carbon rings, are used to make cholesterol
     Proteins of made of 20 amino acids which do everything for the body
     Nitrogen can only be gotten into our bodies from food, via foods high in protein
     Polypeptides are formed by long chains of amino acids
     The 9 essential amino acids, which are bodies can’t make on their own, are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine

      Lord Tranquil i do that as well for at least 4-5 hours a night before a test and at least an hour each day to prepare in advance, but my teacher is 65 with dementia and has no idea how to teach us, so unfortunately i have to rely on outside sources such as youtube. we don't take notes as our teacher doesn't teach, and textbooks can be hard to understand from without someone to guide you through the material.

      My middle school biology teacher knew little about biology. The only reason he was teaching us biology was that the subject he was supposed to teach was no longer needed, which was Russian. You know, China and Russia (Soviet) aren't that close any more.

    @Zosio Před 8 lety +76

    I'm taking biology for the first time, as a college student (yes, I wimped out of it during junior high -- I was homeschooled and relatively unsupervised). I've been using these videos to complement my textbook, and the results have been awesome. Anything that that the textbook doesn't explain, this does, and vice-verse. I was having the hardest time understanding the still illustrations of molecules (my brain essentially goes "NOPE" and shuts down whenever it sees something like that), but seeing them actually play out in video forms like this while being explained in such an accessible way has helped tremendously.
    TL;DR: Thank you so much to the Green Brothers and everyone involved for doing Crash Course. I would be having a *much* harder time with these subjects without it.

    Our biology teacher is lacking some serious teaching skills. Nearly EVERYONE in my class has stated that her methods of teaching are confusing. I keep telling fellow students to watch these crash course videos because they help me out A LOT! My teacher has heard me say this a few times. Once, after she spoke about cellular respiration, I said that crash course did a video on it that helped me understand all the parts involved. She shittily replied that if "colorful internet videos" where the only way we could learn, then maybe we should not be in her class. I don't think she likes me very well....

    I'm taking physiology at the moment and this video helped. I just saw that you guys started a Anatomy/Physiology course and I would suggest when going to macromolecules (biological molecules) to include the 4 main ones for physiology. Carbohydrates, Protein, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids. Also when going into protein, include the 4 structural levels...primary,secondary,tertiary, and quaternary. Just a bit more deep into them when going over them in the physiology course. Overall, I am loving this channel! Happy that you are beginning to teach Physiology since I'm going to need review videos to watch when studying! Keep it up guys! :)

      Trust me he alone can't help you pass , you need to look with in yourself , contemplate on the matters at hand , do your past papers , revise and study the book (though not too much :p) and just chill , read a novel ... watch tv or netflix , believe in yourself and well you're up for the challenge , watch crashcourse , bozeman science and khan academy videos and you'll be whipped into shape

    Notes:
    Indigence for life: Biological molecules: sources of energy, storage of energy, instruction (to born, grow and pass on)
    Food: synthesized or ingested
    Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protein, nucleic acids
    Carbohydrates:
    made of sugars: chains with different lengths
    simplest: monosaccharides (one-sugar): like glucose and fructose
    Glucose: energy of the sun captured by plants through photosynthesis
    Respiration: cells getting energy from glucose
    Disaccharides (two-sugars): like sucrose: made of glucose and fructose
    Polysaccharides (long chains): structural compounds that store energy: cellulose, indigestible
    Starch: plants way of storing glucose: like amylose (is like cellulose)
    Humans way of storing energy:
    Glycogen: short term storage, for a day without eating, made of left over glucose, stored in muscles and liver
    Long term storage...
    Lipids/Fats:
    Non polar, don't mix with water
    Made of: glycerol (kind of alcohol) and fatty acids (carbon-hydrogen chains)
    Triglyceride: 3 fatty acid chains stuck to a glycerol
    Saturated (solid) and non-saturated (like oils) with hydrogen (straight structures allow more hydrogen bonds, non-saturated if there are more carbon bonds)
    Trans fats: unnatural and dangerous, unsaturated with straight carbon bonds instead of bent ones
    Omega 3: unsaturated fatty acids
    Phospho-lipid: Cell membrane walls are made of : 2 fatty acids and a phosphate connected a glyceral , one side hydrophilic (polar side) and the other hydrophobic (non-polar side) so when in water, their hydrophobic ends face each other, that's how cell walls are made
    Steroids like cholestrol: with carbon backbone, also in cell walls, they can be activated to turn into lipid hormons
    Protein (made of amino acids: carboxyl group NH2 and amino group COOH on both ends and H and and an arbitrary R group in the middle):
    Complicated chemical compound, elaborate and elegant structures
    Enzymes: regulating chemical processes and digestion
    Antibodies: connecting themselves to invading bacterium and viruses
    Endorphins: in brain, emotions
    Nitrogen (80% of the air), needs to be in our food
    R group is the side chain of amino acids that determines the function (20 known types)
    Valine: protecting and building muscle tissue
    Tryptophan: mood and energy regulation
    Protein sythesis requires the 9 necessary amino acids: Lysine, Histidine, Threonine, Methionine, Valine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan (, arginine)

Good job and these videos have changed a subject that i once dredded to learn about into something im revising on my day off from revision
