This video explained the topic better than my professor did 😭 THANK YOU
Same
But why you crying?
@@bikonshill5968 because tuition is too expensive for me to only watch yt vid and learn everything
Yeah fr it’s so good
Thanks for taking the time to produce this video. 👏🏻
Thanks for the video! I was having a headache dealing with the biomolecules chapter and this just made my work a lot easier! Lots of love!
Glad to help! 💖
Short, detailed, straight to the point. Great resource for a quick review before class. Thankyou :)
PS:Please make pharmacology videos.
Dear Osmosa, I'm Dian from Indonesia. I teach Biochemistry for Nursing in one university in Indonesia. I used to use your video in my class. It helps very much. But our problem is...that my students hardly understand the videos due to the language gap (we don't know English well). If i dub the explanations of this video into bahasa Indonesia using my voice, will you allow it? Thank you very much :-)
@@sameerpahwa4690 😀😀😀
I feel like it's ok for u to do it
A year late to this, but if you want to do it , it's fine as long as you don't claim the video. It might help to unlist it and give a link to your students or leave a link to the original video in the description.
Bagaimana bu?
tbh its your own concern.
Make more videos about biochemistry.....thnk u for your helping hand.
YES PLEEEEASE!!!
agreed.
You spelled thank wrong ._.
Gab Moe bruv u don’t need to spell properly it’s abbreviated 🙄🙄
There are many components to studying anatomy. One plan I found which succeeds in merging these is the Sebs Study Crammer (check it out on google) without a doubt the no.1 info that I've seen. Check out this extraordinary resource.
Do you guys make any podcast? It would be really useful on my way to school
Thank you very very much for this video! Helps me a lot to sort out my nutrition lessons, not just from the book.
من احسن الدكاترة اللى انا اتعاملت معاها اقسم بالله دكتور عنده ضمير وخلوق جدا
Amazing explanation! Covering everything in details in a simple way!
Thanks, Bruna! We're glad you appreciate our content! 😊
Not everything tbh
Galactose, the well known enemy of the Fantastic Four.
Also the enemy of my gut
lol!! i'm in A&P 2 right now, and when I first saw that word I was like huh???
But a good friend of the wailing Quacky Quadruplets
Lol
@@raphaelsanluis9711 can someone let me in on this cuz I’m stoned but interested in the fact that it is likely useful in like uh seeking enlightenment
Sweet video, brilliant coverage, always did wonder about all these type sugars and what they mean.
THANK YOUUUU. I have exam tomorrow and I didn't know anything till I watched your video. THANKS A LOTTT!!:)
Hope your exam went well! 🙏🏼
@@osmosis yessss it was perfect. Thank you againnnn:)))
5:50 Lactose Structure, its Beta 1-4 linkage of Beta Galactose and Beta Glucose. But you’ve shown Alpha Glucose, please correct.
Hey bud, thankyou for this beautiful explained video on carbohydrates, I am actually from india and was preparing for med and this rlly helped me in quick revisions, lots and lots of love.
Glad to help, Shikha! Best of luck! 🤓🩺 🙌🏼
OSMOSIS videos are my favourite!!
Good morning!
Thank you for your clear video. I have a question, can you please help me out?
May we say that fructose is more often stored rather than immediately used by the body because of its difficult/complex metabolizing process? Could this explains why fructose as added sugar overloads the liver and generates fat?
Thanks a lot!
I like how he avoided to say that fructose will actually become fat through De Novo Lipogenesis
Look up human do novo lipogenesis and you will see it is one of the bodies least used pathways. There's a paper on it literally called "do novo lipogenesis a least used pathway or something similar to that. Carbs do not easily turn into fat, not in humans at least.
Carbs are mostly turned into fat
@@NowisTheTimeofMonsters-w3x Sorry I think there's something wrong with our bodies then because we're all getting fat it isn't fat that's causing it. Fat never made anyone fat.
@Toni
We can thank the liars of Ancel Keys et al who in the late 1950s started this lie ! Then big Ag and big Pharma got in on the action !
@@thalesnemo2841 Quite right!😉👍
Again your team Rockin'...!!!!
Simply AMAZING !!!
Waiting for your next video about particular disease which is widely affect epidemiologically..!!!
7:38 I think your galactose isn't drawn well, one of the OH groups next to the oxygen is drawn down while it should be up
اللهم صلّ على محمد، وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم، وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك على محمد، وعلى آل محمد، كما باركت على إبراهيم، وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد.
Bless these carbohydrates and sugars so that I can afford them and so that they are healthy for my body and my mind and strengthen my musculature.
I like how he called it "bulk matter"
Lol oh yu nasty huh xD
I call it a traffic jam'
The animations help understand how glucose is the backbone 💪🏾 THANK YOIU👏🏾
Most welcome! 😊
There is a critical error in sucrose, preciselly in 5:50. The glicosidic bond is Glc alfa 1 + Fru beta 2. The Fru represented is upside down and inverted horizontally. It is a trick that leads to mistakes because of old biochemistry books. The correct representation is made by putting glucose up and fructose down, the first precisely over the second. Unfortunately, here is not the first place that this error has occurred. It would be better if sucrose were better represented in biochemistry books more worried with didactics than beauty
Hi Mario! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Our team will be reviewing the info you provided. 🙏🏼
There are 2 kinds of carbs; simple and complex. Sugar is a simple carb, veges are complex. Fruits are simple and some are more complex. Simple carbs turn into sugar in the body.
Complex carb are necessary. The body runs on Proteins, Carbs, and Fat. As long as you maintain the proper balance for what you want to achieve, you'll be fine.
this helped me with biology alot thanks!
Glad it helped, James! 😊
Bro, did you know that I got full marks in science subjects because of you?
This helped me understand the lesson better ! Thanks a lot for posting !!!
Well done 👏 I learned a lot watching this video. Do more on other topics like Protein for example
Which sugar are so sweet and not sweet on mono and disaccharide?
When I study biochemistry, usually I read random books with the same content first. Then I came here to watch and trying to remember 😁
Glad to help in your studies! 😊
Learned more from this than school
Thank u 🙂very handy for my tomorrow test 🥰wish me luck guys.
Good luck! 😊
Excellent Video. Very Informative.
actually, the "beta" type of glycosidic bonding means that the first monosaccaride in a beta type: this means that the OH group on the carbon that is going to participate to the bonding is up, and not down as in the case of the alfa
Are you teacher ma'am
Science is good for our knowledge and can learn more new scientific words
It would have been interesting to see how High Fructose Corn Syrup figures into this. I've heard that the body does NOT recognize it correctly and that the pancreas does not know to make insulin to break it down.
Everything I have read on the subject can be summed up as “a carb is a carb.” It does seem that people that eat a lot of fruit have very high triglycerides so maybe there is something to fructose versus other sugars.
6:41
For some reason this is where fat burning science started.
Your completely wrong there is or never was a guide line on natural sugar , your formula about 400 gm and get 300 from natural food is completely nonsense
I appreciate the video. Thank you for helping me pass my test.
Our pleasure! 😊
If Honey has the percentage 50% Fructose and 44% Glucose what is the reason that the sugars don't form a glycosidic bond to form combine to form Sucrose, Table sugar. I've heard that alpha bonds break down easily but beta bonds do not break down in the body. Seems energy is still required to break the alpha bond of sucrose. Is honey healthier than table sugar if the glycosidic bond is not there ? It seems like it's easier to process and absorb? What's the reason fruits are healthier?
Fruits are not healthy at all, fructose is stored in the liver to get out of the blood because it bonds with proteins.
if sugars get broken down into their individual components, then why does the body sometimes prefer sweet things, and after having eaten lots of them, will start making you find them disgusting for a while
what is the reason behind this?
Extremely informative!! Thank you so much!
Welcome! 💕
I recently discovered you and love your videos
I like how this is considered as the healthy diet "100g of total sugar a day" wonder why 73%+ of america is overweight & obese and this number just keeps increasing. Quite sad
Fantastic animation and voice👏
By the dietary guidelines it suggest of sugar(carbohydrates) intake is equivalent of eating like half a kilo of sugar a day. Let that sink in.
Amazing video, could you use SI units in your videos.
Can you please help me?
On products it is labeled carbohydrates, total sugar and added sugar... Aren't carbohydrates sugar? And doesn't starch considered in sugar? As it is a polysaccaride?
Please clear my confusion...
Reading a book about biochemistry and I'm in the carbohydrates and lipids chapter. I finished a book in a different subject and homeopathy is a children course compared to biochemistry learning . I love biochemistry I could dance CH2 OH all the way.....
Thank you! Helping me in nutrition 101
Happy to help! 💖
I love that cute colors like handwritten notes
You should google , sugar industry paid harvard researchers $50,000 in the 1960’s.
Still paying too.
Toni yup. 43% of the american population is obese now with 100 million pre-diabetic. The fast food industry is making billions. The healthcare industry is making billions and the GOV is saving billions in social security benefits .
@@rayray2613 Wonderful isn't it. All this advertising about sugar when all they need to do is tell people there's no such thing as a carbohydrate disease. You can't get sick from not eating carbs.
@@toni4729 white sugar may be bad but not carbohydrates as a whole, right?
@@sourmango4760 Well, the fact is in Europe four hundred years ago we never saw a potato or a grain of rice and we sure never saw sugar. We had fruit only in Autumn when trees came into fruit and honey only after plants flowered so many people rarely ever got much in the way of carbohydrates at all. The truth is we don't need them. I don't eat them at all and live perfectly well on a carnivore diet. I don't say everyone should but it's not harmful. There's nothing wrong with meat fish and vegetables. We lived like that for millions of years.
So the argument for fiber being "good" is that it slows down digestion of unhealthy things that we eat thus stabilizing our blood sugar, correct? So, if we simply stop eating unhealthy junk that screws up our blood sugar (such as highly processed junk foods and sugary drinks and candies an desserts), then not only is fiber not actually helpful, but it is actually a hinderance to the absorption of nutrients from actual food. So wouldn't this suggest that if we ACTUALLY want to pursue a healthy diet we should be focusing mostly, or even exclusively, on the foods with the least amount of processing, the most nutrient density, and no anti-nutrient content like fiber to disrupt the digestion of those nutrients? So then how is an all-meat or all-animal food diet not obviously the best possible diet for humans?
Exactly. Thanks for sharing.
Very good, informative and organized. Good Recape
Thank you! 🥰
So glucose converts into pyruvate which then enters the krebs cycle to generate atp??? If so then the body doesn't use glucose directly
definitely liked.will revisit when ready to digest
Thanks, Feizal! 😊
hmm thanks a lot, but maybe you will be better if you add some source (Journal, literature) of this video and others.
Have you ever seen references in any of the videos published?
Hello, it's a nice a nice video, but I'm just wondering why it's so completely different than the carbs & sugars high yield notes. Is it b/c this is biochemistry? Is there a separate carbs & sugars under GI?
Great video!👍🏽
things were going well until the reference to the discredited food pyramid
Outstanding video 👌
Nice work dude
Thanks for making this topic easier bc I'm weak in biochemistry.😅
Happy to help! 🥰
Excellent video
Best videos for student....best understanding....thanks...
- Galactose is only found in nature when it links with Glucose to form Lactose
- Galacto-oligosaccharides are found in soybeans
Please explain this contradiction.
This was amazing thank you so much!!
There's no such thing as a disease of lack of carbohydrates. Give up that junk and you'll be healthier.
Thank you 🌹
You’re welcome, Francesca! 😊
Very informative! Thank you
Our pleasure! ❤️
u made it suspiciously easy
I wish there was a video when I was studying biochemistry few years ago.

Everytime these molecules are broken down energy is released.
Excellent sir
The carbohydrate filled diet as recommended by the AHA and the Diabetes Association definitely cause MORE harm than good. Glucose is not actually a necessary dietary ingredient in a big way.
People who have modified to a deep ketogenic diet for example, have been trialled with insulin to prove this; their blood sugar drops below what would send someone with this diet into a coma but these guys don't even flinch.
What does the body use instead? Ketones! Ketones are much healthier, promote brain health (instead of carbohydrates, which have been linked to multiple disease pathologies from diabetes, cardiovascular disease to even alzheimers.)
The brain uses ketones and ketones actually are a major cause of brain development and health due to exercise.
OcelotGCH scientifically wrong. Complex carbs are healthy and are a staple in low fat whole food vegan diets.
Plant Maven In which way are they healthier apart from being part of 'low fat whole food vegan diets'? Which already sound bad. Low fat is bad for your brain.
Also, vegetables and fruits contain fibers which slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, which is why they are healthier than say, eating a cheeseburger. Why do you think fast food is bad for you? It's not the fat, or the protein, it's the SUGAR! It's all about how rich in concentration carbohydrates you take in.
+OcelotGCH Stop with the lies Atkins. Nobody with a brain cell believes your paid bots. Anyone with any medical experience will tell you the reality that prolonged ketosis will lead to countless issues. Let’s put it this way: Youth has the ultimate advantage of being adaptable to damage, and even children were getting stiffened arteries and cardiovascular problems after a short period on Keto diet, and this was done under strict medical supervision. Keto Bot Liars will say these kids were sick, but they had zero heart or artery issues, AND they were YOUNG which means much higher plasticity. If a young person with healthy arteries gets cardiovascular issues in a short period, what the bloody hell makes you think your fat old self will do better? Now let’s delve into how it only gets worse. As you continue in ketosis your body loses a lot of WATER, because a lack of glucose and glycogen stores makes it hard for your body to retain water, causing a diuretic reaction. As a result, you lose sodium and more importantly POTASSIUM, which cannot just simply be supplemented or megadosed because that is not only dangerous in itself but likely will end up being urinated out. With that being said, potassium directly affects heart function, so as your potassium levels drop your heart will beat slower and abnormally, increasing the risk of sudden cardiac death. Google it moron, many people with hypokalemia from a Keto diet dying from sudden cardiac death. There are far more issues beyond that, such as RBCs and liver both requiring glucose, leading to suboptimal functioning, this has huge implications considering RBCs carry oxygen to your tissues and organs, and carry CO2 away from them, so without optimal functioning there’s less oxygenation and less CO2 removal which leads to even more acidity in addition to the ketone bodies themselves. Your liver is responsible for detoxification, a CRITICAL function. If you take ANY medications, or ANY herbs, they will not be removed as quickly and build up in the body, even just regular toxic waste, regardless of medications, will build up as well. I suppose dying from cardiac arrest is hopefully enough for you to realize this is serious and educate yourself before you end up being a statistic. THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS ATKINS. YOU NEED BALANCE AND YOU NEED EXERCISE. STOP LYING OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED.
thank you, finally someone who know's what they are talking about, not to mention the high triglycerides and high cholesterol's that you will obtain very quickly on a keto diet thus leading very quickly to heart disease.
Thank you
Thank you so very much!👍😘🧠
Any time! 🙌🏼
One question , that can we also say disaccharide as bisaccharide
How comes fruits are low calories when they taste so sweet?

The chemistry half was great but the nutrician part was totally out of whack. We require none of it.
