B1 1 Carbohydrates & Lipids

Visit the website: https://sites.google.com/lpcuwc.edu.h... B1.1 Carbohydrates & Lipids | IB Biology Welcome to Parsons Biology! In this lesson we explore B1.1 Carbohydrates & Lipids from the IB Biology syllabus. We'll investigate the chemistry of life's most abundant biological molecules, discovering how carbohydrates and lipids are built, broken down and used by living organisms. You'll explore the structure and functions of sugars, starch, glycogen and cellulose, examine the roles of glycoproteins in cell communication, and investigate how lipids provide energy storage, insulation and the structural basis of cell membranes. By the end of this lesson, you should be confident with the key understandings, applications and skills required by the IB Biology course. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ In this lesson • Chemical bonding and carbon • Condensation reactions and polymerisation • Hydrolysis reactions • Monosaccharides • Disaccharides • Polysaccharides • Glycoproteins • Properties of lipids • Triglycerides • Phospholipids • Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids • Functions of lipids • Adipose tissue • Phospholipid bilayers • Steroid movement across cell membranes ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Chapters 00:00 Chemical Bonding & Polymerisation 05:35 Carbohydrates 17:15 Properties & Functions of Lipids 33:00 Phospholipid bilayer ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Parsons Biology Making IB Biology clear, engaging and accessible for every student.
