What's up, guys? Welcome to this

0:07

new topic in the biology course, part of

0:10

the whole series of videos you'll have access to

0:12

since you

0:15

're in the online course. Today we're going to

0:17

talk about the second part of

0:19

biochemistry, Biochemistry 2. We're going to look at

0:24

organic biomolecules. Remember last week,

0:26

sorry, last class, when we talked

0:29

about inorganic biomolecules? Do you

0:31

remember we talked about

0:33

bioelements? Do you remember we talked about

0:34

water, buffers,

0:37

mineral salts, and gases? Very

0:39

well, those were

0:40

inorganic biomolecules. Now we're going to talk about

0:42

the four main ones. Do you

0:44

remember who they are? They are carbohydrates,

0:46

lipids, nucleic acids, and

0:49

proteins. Today we're going to talk about them.

0:52

We're going to talk about carbohydrates first, of course.

0:54

But before that, I want to

0:56

introduce you a little bit to the topic.

0:58

You know very well that

1:00

living beings, besides being made up of

1:02

inorganic biomolecules, are also

1:05

obviously made up of organic ones.

1:07

Organic biomolecules, and

1:10

these will be primarily

1:12

responsible for forming part of

1:15

structures and

1:17

actively participating in the physiology of a

1:20

living being. Do you understand? So

1:22

basically, it will be in charge of that. We'll

1:24

start with carbohydrates.

1:26

You should know from childhood that

1:28

carbohydrates are manufactured in

1:31

a process carried out

1:34

by plants, a process known as

1:36

photosynthesis. Plants

1:38

produce millions of tons of

1:41

carbohydrates daily due to

1:43

photosynthesis. Don't forget,

1:45

then. So, what are carbohydrates? We'll talk

1:47

about the first one.

1:49

You should know that carbohydrates are

1:51

not sugars.

1:54

Carbohydrates, since they are sugars,

1:56

can also be known as

1:58

carbohydrates. Okay, they are sugars or

2:01

carbohydrates. They are also

2:03

known as things. That is to say,

2:06

generally, not always, obviously,

2:08

carbohydrates will end in

2:10

-ous, for example, glucose, for example, -a, for example,

2:16

cellulose, for example, ribose, for example.

2:27

Deoxyribonucleic acid,

2:29

oh, let's not finish with hydroxy ketone

2:31

either, okay? So if they

2:34

ask you, not true or false, everything, I

2:36

finished, you marked,

2:38

obviously you marked false, because not

2:41

everyone finishes, I mean, generally, okay, let's continue. Carbohydrates, carbohydrates are

2:47

sugars, they are also

2:49

known as sugars and they are also a source

2:52

of immediate energy. Let's say immediate source of energy,

2:59

immediate source of energy, energy. Now,

3:02

how much energy does a grain of

3:05

carbohydrate give you? A grain gives you

3:07

approximately 44 kilocalories

3:11

per grain. That is to say, on the

3:14

day of the entrance exam,

3:16

or maybe you, who are in

3:18

school, on the day of your biology exam,

3:20

before your exam, you have to consume

3:23

carbohydrates because, teacher, because it will be

3:26

an immediate source of energy.

3:28

Now, you're not going to tell your

3:30

mom to give you a pork rind

3:32

for breakfast because you know very

3:34

well that pork rinds are lipids and

3:36

lipids, while it is true they give more

3:39

energy than carbohydrates. glutes, but their

3:40

metabolism takes a long time. You understand, if you

3:43

eat pork rinds for breakfast, you'll

3:45

only have the energy in the

3:46

afternoon. On the other hand, if you have a nice piece of

3:48

bread with sweet potato

3:51

for breakfast, your energy will be

3:54

immediate. Okay, that's it.

3:57

Now, teacher, what is the unit of

4:00

the glutes? Because you know that the glutes

4:01

are a conglomeration of little things, but what is

4:04

each of those little things called?

4:06

Each of those units that the glutes have is going to be

4:10

called a monosaccharide.

4:15

Here you can add, since

4:18

you're sitting there at your

4:20

computer watching the video with your

4:23

notebook next to you, obviously,

4:25

not sugars, carbohydrates, things, or

4:28

also known as sugars and twos. Okay,

4:30

what is the unit of

4:34

the glutes? The mono, which comes from a

4:36

monosaccharide. Okay, the monosaccharide is the

4:40

unit of the glutes. Okay,

4:43

what is the bond that joins the

4:46

monosaccharides? The bond that joins the

4:48

monosaccharides to Carlos, the glucose-diglyceride bond is

4:52

the bond that joins the

4:54

monosaccharides. Don't

4:56

forget, the bond that

4:58

joins the monosaccharides, which are the

5:00

units of the glutathions, is the

5:03

glucose-diglyceride bond. Very good, it's

5:06

the bond. The citric group. Today, a quick

5:08

question before we continue with the topic:

5:10

what is the act of breaking the

5:12

bond called? Let's say I have two

5:15

monosaccharides here, their relationship. Then, citric group.

5:17

If I break it, if I cut it, what is

5:19

this process called? Do you know what it's called?

5:21

Look, it's called hydrolysis.

5:24

Hydrolysis is breaking

5:27

bonds. Do you know why I'm telling you this? Because

5:30

later we're going to talk about

5:32

precisely that: breaking bonds,

5:34

hydrolysis, and all of that, and you need to

5:36

know what that is.

5:39

Now, can we classify carbohydrates? Of

5:41

course, teacher, we can classify them in

5:43

many ways. We can classify them, for

5:45

example, according to the shape of their

5:48

chain. It can be a linear chain, it can

5:50

be a cyclic chain. Well, we can

5:53

classify them according to their

5:54

functional group. If it has the functional group, it will

5:56

be a slab. Without the

5:58

functional group, a ketone will be a slab.

6:01

We can classify according to its

6:03

number of carbons: three carbons,

6:04

four carbons, five carbons, sixty-seven carbons, etc., etc.

6:07

Very good. Here we can

6:09

even make a double-

6:11

entry table to know who are the 2-carbons, the

6:14

3-carbons, the 4-

6:16

carbons, and so on. I can

6:19

classify in many ways. I

6:21

could even classify it according

6:24

to its function. Do you understand? I can classify

6:27

it in many ways, but in this case,

6:29

today, for this course, we are going to

6:32

classify it according to its

6:33

functional group, and also according to its

6:35

number of carbons, and also according

6:37

to the number of monomers it has.

6:39

Okay, guys, let's

6:41

see. According to

6:44

its functional group, it will be an a, a 2, if it has one, if it has one, if it has one, if it has one, if it has one, yes, it has a

6:52

group, a group, you read that, there it is. And what

6:56

is the formula? Function, you read that, you

7:00

know very well organic chemistry, right? The

7:02

popular,

7:02

the popular, done, there it is. And the slabs, the slabs, the slabs.

7:06

So, it has the

7:09

functional group, it's a good

7:11

functional group, and what's the

7:14

formula for acetone?

7:16

The popular carbon, double bond, double

7:19

bond with oxygen, well, there it is. If it

7:22

has this functional group, it's an

7:25

aldehyde, so that glutathione will be one of

7:27

two. Well, remember that it always has to

7:29

end in -ous. If it's a

7:32

ketone functional group, what will

7:35

the glucide be called? It's a type

7:39

of glucide. Well, there you go. By its number of carbons,

7:42

we can also classify it by its

7:44

number of carbons. Look, if the

7:46

glucide is formed, look, you can see it here,

7:50

Michael Sea Braga. If the glucide

7:53

is formed by three carbons, you know

7:56

what it's going to be called? It's going to be called tri-, tri-ose,

7:58

from three-ous, from glucides. If

8:02

the glucide is formed by four

8:04

carbons, it's going to be met. If the glucide

8:07

is formed by five carbons, it's going to be

8:10

called pentose. Well, remember the prefix

8:13

and the ending -ous. Hey, if it has six

8:16

carbons, obviously it's going to be an exoskeleton.

8:18

Well, and if it has seven carbons... For

8:22

example, it's going to be a cough

8:26

here. We've put a

8:29

double-entry table here that we're going to

8:31

fill out together. Okay, we're going to put the

8:33

following here. In this table, we're going to group

8:36

the classification by its

8:39

functional group and according to its number of

8:43

carbon atoms. Here we're going to group it, for

8:44

example, here we're going to put if it

8:48

has the group you've read, that is, if we

8:51

're talking about one to two carbon atoms. Oh, he's

8:53

read that, very good. And if it has the

8:56

ketone group, that is, if it's going to be a

9:16

cough, functional group, very good. There you go. Now, using your prep school book, any prep school book, obviously, pre-agrarian, pre-San Marcos, pre-Villarreal,

9:20

etc., you have your

9:23

prep school book, or if you don't have a

9:25

biology book, have it on hand.

9:28

If not, you can review them later. Right now, I'll

9:30

point you out. You have a question, that is,

9:32

what is a monosaccharide? A monosaccharide,

9:36

here's my girlfriend, who is a Bring out the

9:38

best, who is a 3-carbon glimmer

9:41

that belongs to the aldehyde group, who

9:43

will it be, you know that's how you look, the same

9:46

name says it, its own name says it,

9:48

read, be glee, be glee, be, have you read well,

9:53

the glitter aldehyde is there, and teacher, and

9:56

one of the group is taken from 3 carbons, the one from

10:00

hydroxy,

10:03

from hydroxy, it's tone, and up to here it was, that's what

10:06

you'll tell me, teacher, but I didn't finish, I don't

10:08

hear what I told you, I told you that not

10:11

all of them necessarily have to end

10:13

in -go, well, there it is, where do I find the

10:16

gray, will it be read, you know very well where I find it, where I find it, I find it, for

10:20

example, in the

10:22

Calvin cycle, in the dark phase of

10:23

photosynthesis, it is the precursor that

10:26

glucose is formed, or I will also

10:28

find it, for example, in

10:30

glycolysis, in cellular respiration, okay,

10:33

when fructose, as was said, photo,

10:36

unfolds into what in glee will be the law

10:38

of Indy, hydroxy ketone, to then form

10:40

the pilots, the leader, or if it is taken,

10:44

it will be amerized, to resemble the

10:46

English, will be read calmly, suddenly

10:48

no There's no end to what I'm

10:50

telling you, but obviously we're going to

10:52

do it in the videos after this one.

10:55

Okay, we're going to do it during the virtual course.

10:58

We have gray, it was read as a 1 to 2

11:01

inside trios, and the hydro, if it's

11:04

taken as a 1, it's also inside trios.

11:06

Now, a

11:08

4-carbon piece, that is,

11:11

within the group of the

11:13

salts. Who do we have?

11:15

For example, we have Erythrocyte,

11:17

which we have to read, and others, we put to

11:20

silence, liters.

11:22

We have liters. Someone also has

11:25

the goddess. Trios,

11:30

very good. Within the acetone of the

11:34

salts of pieces, we have the air and air and

11:37

true Erythrocytes. Okay, to read, and you already have them. Let's

11:41

see, one of 5 carbons, one of 5

11:45

carbons that is present in the group

11:47

of things, sorry, of the salts.

11:50

First, here we have,

11:52

for example, the arribos. There, the and the. Hey,

11:54

where do you find the ribose?

11:58

The ribose is the sugar. The rugose is the

12:02

sugar of which air? No, very

12:05

good,

12:06

sorry. We're not getting confused, it's not

12:09

right, arrivals or sugar of the RN and if

12:11

the a, well, you already know, or an illusion, 5

12:15

carbons that belong to the salts as and

12:19

the things to whom I have, I have the

12:20

rigorous, to the rigorous, where do I find

12:24

the rigorous,

12:25

obviously the encounter, well, in the

12:26

Carl Vinson cycle, don't you remember the arrival, the

12:28

monophosphate of the rigorous, of

12:30

phosphate, do you remember the rigorous and

12:33

sodium carboxylase, very good, whom do I

12:37

also have, cellulose, already without the, already

12:41

pointing, no, very good, you're

12:43

pointing, teacher, let's see, of 6 carbons,

12:47

exoses that belong to, that have the

12:49

functional group, you have read that they belong to,

12:51

that belong to the salts as, we have

12:53

the most flirtatious of all, look who,

12:56

glucose, here we have more, within

12:59

this group we have, for example,

13:01

galactose,

13:03

galactose, this galactose, you

13:06

know very well that it is forming part of,

13:08

is forming part of, lactose, which is

13:10

precisely the sugar of the

13:13

Milk, then we have the former partner of the

13:16

functional group acetone, where we have

13:17

the fruit, fruits, which makes

13:21

fructose, where it is present,

13:23

evidently present in

13:25

fruits. It is also

13:28

present in the flagellum of the

13:31

sperm to give it

13:34

motility, to give it strength, to give it

13:39

energy so that the flagellum of the

13:42

sperm can reach

13:44

its target. And we also have wings

13:46

and things. Very good, so let's

13:49

talk about monosaccharides.

13:51

What are the characteristics

13:53

of monosaccharides?

13:56

First of all, you have to

13:58

know, child, that monosaccharides are

14:00

sweet, like me. They are sweet, they are

14:04

also, teacher. They are soluble, okay, they are

14:08

soluble, which they also are, teacher. And they

14:11

are also crystalline and soluble. You can make

14:14

crystals with monosaccharides. They are

14:16

crystallizable. Also, they have a

14:20

bond, a cycloal group. Do you think they

14:22

have it in the 05, knowing that monosaccharides

14:24

are formed by a single little

14:26

ball? Let's see the following:

14:29

imagine a rosary. You know, a

14:30

rosary is... The one who prays for that, you

14:33

put here with your little cross, a rosary,

14:35

a rosary is made up of several little beads,

14:37

yes or no, that's more or less what a

14:39

rosebush is like, this thing you don't know is a glossary, it's

14:40

made up of several little beads, yes or no,

14:42

and up to this one, so obviously

14:47

each little bead, each little bead is going to be a

14:49

monosaccharide, and this little string that's

14:52

joining the little beads, this bond that's

14:54

joining the little beads, goes

14:55

in the Glucose or citric bond, you're not going to

14:58

forget that, so we know very well

15:00

that the monosaccharide is made up of

15:02

a single bead, look, a single bead,

15:06

so this bead can join with

15:09

another monosaccharide, no teacher, because it's

15:10

only one, so it will have a

15:13

glucose-diglyceride bond, obviously it doesn't have a Glucose

15:16

or citric bond, we put here, it doesn't have one, it does

15:19

n't have a Glucose-diglyceride bond,

15:24

therefore here comes what I

15:27

explained to you a little while ago,

15:30

if it doesn't have a Glucose or citric bond, it will be

15:34

hydrolysis, you speak, what do you say, remember

15:37

that hydrolysis It's the act of breaking a

15:39

bond. Very well, so if it doesn't

15:41

have a Glucose or kinetic bond, it's not a

15:43

Blue hydrolysate. Well, you have to be

15:45

very careful, it's not a Blue hydrolysate. You know, I

15:49

asked you something. I'll tell you something. It's a

15:51

question from

15:53

the university entrance exam, the one you're going to take. The

15:55

third biology question from the

15:57

university you're going to take is going to say the

15:59

following: Listen very carefully. It's going to say the

16:01

following:

16:02

Mark that you are true or false. Okay, mark

16:05

that you are true or false. Question 98

16:08

from the National Agrarian University La

16:09

Molina, question 93 from the

16:11

National University of San Marcos, question 97

16:14

from the National University Federico

16:14

Villarreal. I know everything. It's going to tell you

16:16

the following:

16:17

Mark that you are true or false. It's going to tell you the following:

16:19

Look, it should say

16:21

monosaccharides. Mark that you are true or

16:24

false. Monosaccharides do not have

16:27

any type of bond. What do you mark:

16:29

true or false? You've already

16:32

answered, there's no option to

16:35

change it. Let's solve it.

16:37

Obviously, monosaccharides do not

16:40

have a glucose bond. And I say, "Okay, teacher, they do

16:44

n't have a bond." I wash my hand. They don't

16:45

have a bond. But hold on. You know very

16:48

well that last week, or

16:52

last class, sorry, we said that the

16:54

difference between

16:56

inorganic and

16:58

organic biomolecules was that organic ones have

17:02

carbon-carbon bonds. How do you think, how do you think, let's say

17:08

glucose joins its carbons? Because it's

17:12

supposed to have carbons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, how do you think it

17:17

joins them? Through a bond,

17:19

teacher. What is that bond called? It's

17:22

called a covalent bond. So the

17:25

question is, what was the answer?

17:28

Can the question be answered? Do

17:30

monosaccharides have any kind

17:32

of bond? False. Maybe they don't have the carbon-carbon

17:35

bond, but they do have

17:38

carbon-carbon bonds, which are known as

17:39

covalent bonds. I'm very careful

17:42

with these questions. What did you answer?

17:44

True or false? I hope you

17:46

answered false. If not, anyway,

17:49

we're here to learn

17:51

and even see examples of

17:53

monosaccharides, all of them here,

17:55

for example, the most well-

17:57

known ones, like your example: glucose,

18:01

fructose,

18:04

galactose, etc., etc., etc.

18:10

Okay, very good. Now then.

18:13

Let's talk about oligosaccharides. You know that

18:16

monosaccharides are made up of just

18:19

one, one, one, in a single little ball.

18:23

Let's use another color,

18:25

Victoria pink, your favorite color. Just one little

18:28

ball, one little ball. That's how

18:30

monosaccharides are. They're just one little ball.

18:32

Now, disaccharides—I mean,

18:34

oligosaccharides—are made up of

18:37

2 to 10 little balls. From 2 to 10, teacher,

18:42

if it has 11, no, if it has 11, it's a

18:44

polysaccharide. If it has 3, 4, or 5, it's an

18:48

oligosaccharide. Remember that the word "

18:50

olives" means "little," and from carbohydrates,

18:53

monosaccharides are just one, oligosaccharides are

18:56

two to ten little balls. Very good. So,

19:00

oligosaccharides will be sweet, of course, they are

19:03

sweet. They will be soluble, of course, they

19:08

are

19:11

soluble. They will crystallize, of course, they

19:14

are crystallizable. Let me give you an example of

19:18

crystallization. I'll give you an example of the

19:20

sugar you have on your table, the

19:22

sugar that you added to your milk this morning.

19:24

Coffee, milk,

19:26

your water, that sugar,

19:28

that's called sucrose, and that sucrose

19:32

is made up of two things, I'm

19:35

telling you this, but I forgot to mention it.

19:37

So I ask you, I

19:39

ask you, that sugar that you use in the

19:41

morning, is sweet? Of course it is.

19:44

That sugar that you use in

19:46

the morning, is soluble? Of course it is, teacher.

19:48

That sugar that comes in your packet in the morning

19:50

is in the form of crystals, of course you realize,

19:53

so it's sweet, it's soluble, and it's

19:55

also crystalline and it tastes very good. Hey, if we

19:58

're talking about two to

20:01

ten little balls, obviously these

20:03

little balls have to be joined together.

20:06

So if they're joined by a bond,

20:08

they have a Glucose or citric bond. Of course, if they

20:11

have a Glucose or citric bond, then

20:14

if they have a Glucose or citric bond,

20:18

therefore I ask you, if it has a

20:20

glucose-hydric bond, if it has a glucose-

20:23

hydric bond, can it

20:26

be hydrolyzed? Of course, if I can

20:29

break bonds, I can afford to break them,

20:31

can it be hydrolyzed? If they are

20:34

hydrolyzed, you speak

20:36

and Even if they are hydrolyzed, bless, very good

20:39

children, there it is, if they are hydrolyzed, bless.

20:42

Now here I can talk about the

20:45

union of two monosaccharides. If I have 12

20:48

monosaccharides, that is,

20:50

I put two little balls here,

20:52

if I combine two monosaccharides, this union of

20:55

two little balls will be called a disaccharide.

20:59

Disaccharide, teacher, what? I mean, if I combine

21:02

three little balls, it's called a disaccharide. That's right, that's right. So,

21:04

in

21:08

this segment of the whiteboard, we're going to

21:11

talk about disaccharides. Pay

21:14

close attention, please.

21:16

We're going to see what happens when I combine

21:18

glucose with something else. For example, if I

21:21

combine glucose with, let's say,

21:24

fructose, what does that produce? Glucose plus

21:28

fructose will produce sucrose.

21:32

And you know, sucrose—and explain that for a

21:35

moment—sucrose is table sugar,

21:37

present in sugar cane. You don't have to

21:39

doubt that, teacher. What was

21:41

decided? Combine glucose plus galactose. Look, look,

21:45

glucose plus galactose, what happens?

21:48

I'm going to form lactose. Where is it

21:52

found? Lactose, obviously,

21:54

lactose is the sugar in milk.

21:57

Some people

21:59

are lactose intolerant.

22:03

What happens is that

22:05

people who are

22:06

lactose intolerant don't have the enzymes that break down

22:09

lactose. Therefore, this

22:11

lactose will

22:12

cause them gas, nausea, and other

22:15

problems. Okay, now, what is lactose-

22:16

free milk? Well,

22:19

teacher, it's milk that doesn't have

22:21

lactose. No, there can't be milk without lactose

22:23

because lactose is a

22:25

characteristic of milk.

22:27

So, teacher, why do they call it lactose-free milk?

22:29

You know why they call it lactose-free milk?

22:31

Because it's

22:33

easier for advertisers

22:35

to tell you "lactose-free milk" than to

22:38

say "milk with enzymes that break down

22:40

lactose." So,

22:43

lactose-free milk is actually

22:45

milk that contains lactose but has

22:47

enzymes that you don't have, which break it down.

22:48

The act is very good:

22:50

glucose plus galactose equals lactose. What happens

22:54

if I put two glucose molecules together? Glucose plus

22:57

glucose, what does it form? If I put glucose

23:00

plus glucose together, it will

23:03

form maltose. Michael, I can't find

23:06

the butterflies. Have you heard of malt sugar,

23:09

Clark? Where? In beer? Well, that's

23:12

precisely where I'm going to find this

23:16

maltose. No, glucose plus glucose, I'm going to

23:18

find it as beer sugar,

23:19

malt sugar. And what happens if I put

23:23

glucose plus glucose together again? It will

23:27

form... what? You see? But do you know

23:30

the difference? Do you know the

23:32

difference between the two?

23:33

The difference is... Look,

23:36

glucose and maltose will be due to the

23:40

union between two glucose molecules, but by an

23:43

alpha-glucose or citric acid bond. On the other hand, lactose will

23:47

be from the union of

23:49

glucose plus glucose by a beta-

23:52

glucose or β-glucose bond. So, that bond by

23:55

which they will join will determine

23:57

certain characteristics of the sugar. How

24:00

is that, teacher? Let's say I'm a

24:02

monosaccharide and my little friend who's here on

24:04

the imaginary side is... A monosaccharide,

24:05

if we join hands, we'd

24:08

hold hands. For

24:10

example, we'd make

24:12

a butterfly shape because we're joining

24:14

by a bond.

24:15

But if we join feet, feet together,

24:18

we'd

24:22

make a shape, obviously, because we're

24:23

joining by a beta-glucose bond. And that's

24:26

basically it. So don't

24:29

forget:

24:31

glucose plus fructose = sucrose; glucose plus

24:34

galactose = lactose; glucose plus

24:36

glucose by an alpha-glucose bond;

24:38

maltodextrin; or glucose plus glucose by a beta-glucose bond. I know, you

24:43

saw it. Very good. We've

24:48

talked about oligosaccharides. Now

24:50

let's move on to polysaccharides.

24:55

Polysaccharides, guys, is when I

24:57

talk about a group of

25:00

11 or more monosaccharides. Okay, 11

25:05

or more monosaccharides. So here

25:09

comes the little detail: these will be

25:12

sweet. These are sweet

25:14

polysaccharides. They profess sweets, no, they're not

25:17

sweet, okay, they're not sweet, they're soluble, they

25:21

're not soluble, good, they're not soluble, they're

25:26

crystallizable, they're not crystals, if they're going to misbehave, well, they're not

25:29

soluble

25:33

either, they're not crystals, and they

25:36

rebel against them, they're not interested, they're not interested, they do

25:39

n't want to know anything,

25:40

therefore,

25:42

if it's the union of 11 or more, they'll have

25:44

glucose and diglyceride bonds, of course, of course,

25:47

how the

25:49

monosaccharides are formed, they have a glucose

25:53

or citric bond, good, so if you have a

25:56

glucose or citric bond, if you have a glucose bond,

25:58

it indicates they'll be hydrolyzed, of course, well, if they're

26:02

hydrolyzed, they're hydrolyzed, that's it,

26:06

if they're hydrolyzed, very

26:10

good, what other characteristic can we

26:12

give to polysaccharides? Their function, their

26:15

function, what function do

26:17

polysaccharides have? Here they are, look, you're

26:19

seeing it here, two types of function:

26:21

structural and storage, let's put it

26:24

in bold so we can

26:27

organize the information, I'm here, my motorcycle, well,

26:29

not brought from abroad,

26:31

Montenegro, here it is

26:35

We're putting "function" here. What is the function?

26:38

Structural function and storage function.

26:42

Who has a structural function?

26:45

Those who will have a

26:47

structural function will be, for example, for

26:51

example,

26:53

for example, if cellulose...

26:56

OK, cellulose has a

26:58

structural function. Another one that has a

26:59

structural function is chitin. You know, chitin,

27:03

cellulose, kids. Or do you know where you're going to

27:06

find cellulose? You're going to

27:08

find cellulose present in the

27:10

secondary cell wall of plant cells. We're

27:12

putting "cell wall of plants" here. Plant cell walls. Plant cell walls. In

27:18

the cell wall

27:20

of plants. In the cell wall, teacher,

27:22

in the secondary wall. You don't have to

27:25

forget that.

27:26

Secondary wall. And chitin, where do I find it?

27:28

In the cell wall of which ones? Of the little

27:31

fungi? There are only...

27:35

no, teacher. I'm also going to find it in the

27:37

exoskeleton of arthropods. Good, take note: in

27:40

the exoskeleton of arthropods.

27:43

Chitin is also going to have a

27:46

very important nitrogenous compound

27:48

called... called...

27:52

glucosamine. A

27:55

simple man to learn, not a common man... a simple man...

27:58

blue thing...

28:01

and that's it. And

28:03

cellulose for the... Plant cell walls contain

28:05

chitin, the secondary cell wall

28:07

of fungi, and it's also present in the

28:09

exoskeleton of arthropods. What does that mean?

28:13

For example,

28:14

their shell, their wings, their

28:18

external parts. Okay, and it

28:23

also has a compound

28:24

called glucosamine. Look here,

28:27

even the key is glucosamine. Professor, it has

28:30

glucose, of course, you saw that. Very good. Let's move on to

28:33

another storage function.

28:36

For example, we have

28:38

glycogen here. Look, we have

28:42

glycogen, and we also have starch.

28:44

Okay, we have glycogen,

28:47

and we have starch there.

28:50

Where is glycogen present, professor?

28:53

Glycogen is

28:55

basically present in the

29:00

muscles and liver, okay? In the muscles and

29:04

liver of animals, obviously. And starch is

29:10

present

29:12

in the roots and stems

29:17

of plants. So, glycogen is a

29:24

glucose storage site in animals, and starch is a glucose storage site

29:28

in plants. Obviously, I'm

29:31

telling you that it's

29:33

present in roots and stems because

29:34

we're still at this level. When

29:37

we get to the cell, okay, we'll get there. I'm going

29:40

to talk to you about an

29:41

organ, the one exclusively responsible for storing these

29:45

nutrients, and I'm going to ask you questions, and

29:47

obviously you're going to answer. I'm going to

29:50

tell you in which part of the cells

29:52

starch is stored. In the plant cell,

29:55

you're going to tell me, "Teacher, in such and such organelles."

29:58

And I'm also going to ask questions

29:59

from the bi-weekly exam that we're going to give you.

30:03

Roots and stems, roots and stems,

30:06

glucose storage? No, glucose is stored in the

30:08

form of starch.

30:10

There was a little question that your friend

30:12

asked me the other day, a little question that went like this: "

30:16

When I eat a piece of bread, how is

30:19

this piece of bread absorbed

30:22

in my body? How is it absorbed? How does it

30:25

get into my blood? It

30:27

gets there as bread, obviously not,

30:30

the boy asked me, teacher. And as

30:32

glycogen? No, glycogen, you know what it is,

30:35

we put it here. Imagine the

30:37

following: imagine you have a bag. There's

30:42

a bag, and inside the bag

30:44

you have, I don't know why it occurs to me, marbles.

30:48

The bag is full of marbles, little

30:50

balls. How can you continue with that,

30:52

Michael?" Marbles, marbles, little balls, ping

30:56

pong, suddenly they don't understand marbles anymore, if

31:00

not, Google, it's good that

31:03

many are from now, well, Maicon, if they

31:04

are pure, they don't know any Dota, Free Fire, they don't

31:09

even know any Vaho, not even,

31:12

well, marbles, you search on the

31:14

internet, it's marbles and little balls, little balls,

31:17

so you know what we are going to do, this

31:21

whole package, this whole bag,

31:24

if this bag is in an

31:26

animal it will be called glycogen, if

31:28

this package is in a plant it

31:31

will be called starch, okay, but what

31:34

is each of the marbles, each of

31:37

the little balls, what is each of the little

31:39

chips that are inside, what are they, they are

31:41

glucoses, okay, so the set of

31:45

glucose in an animal is glycogen, the

31:49

set of glucose in a plant is

31:51

starch, so what was the answer

31:53

of the little friend, how is the bread I eat absorbed

31:57

into the blood, it is

31:59

absorbed in the form of glucose, not

32:03

starch, okay, starch is the reserve,

32:05

when your blood wants glucose, well,

32:09

glucagon comes, it breaks down this

32:12

glycogen and the glucoses will be released,

32:15

very good When we talk about

32:18

proteins, we're going to

32:20

talk about glycogen again for a

32:22

little bit because we're going to mention

32:24

a hormone known as insulin. So,

32:26

what happens with

32:29

insulin? Look, glycogen is stored

32:32

in the liver. It's already there, it's been

32:35

studied, the glycogen is already

32:36

stored. You

32:38

wake up late and you have to go to

32:43

school. You don't want to be late

32:45

because that day you have

32:47

biology. You want to go to school very early, so you did

32:51

n't have breakfast. What happens

32:54

to your body? Well,

32:56

the glucose is supposed to have been stored in

32:59

your liver.

33:03

So, since there's no glucose in your blood

33:05

for your cells to do

33:08

cellular respiration and therefore

33:10

obtain energy, what does your body do? It sends it

33:13

out. Because

33:16

insulin sends it—I mean, it

33:17

sends glucagon—to go to the

33:20

liver. And the only man who passed by—

33:23

sir, please—in the blood there's no

33:25

glucose. I need to break down that glycogen

33:27

that's already there, break down this storage that's

33:29

there, to be able to release glucose into the

33:31

blood so that each

33:33

cell can capture its glucose and do

33:36

cellular respiration. You can get

33:38

energy so this child can stay

33:40

awake and perform well throughout

33:41

biology class. So what does

33:44

glucagon do? It breaks down glycogen,

33:48

and the glucose is released into the bloodstream. And what happens is, well, what you

33:51

already know:

33:53

glucose enters the cell, and

33:54

cellular respiration occurs. Okay,

33:57

but what happens when you

33:59

get home at night and your life

34:02

is like a party, a children's party? Botero

34:04

is still a child, eating and

34:06

eating candy, lots of sweets. Simón was

34:08

born with three liters of water to drink with a

34:09

straw. What happens? You have an

34:12

excess of glucose in your blood. What does

34:15

your little body do? It

34:17

says, "Hey, you know there's a lot of glucose in the blood,

34:19

so what am I going to do? I'm going to take

34:21

advantage of it and store that glucose

34:23

in the liver. I'm going to store it in the form

34:26

of glycogen." Who does that?

34:29

Insulin. Okay, what does insulin do?

34:32

Insulin sees glucose passing through the

34:34

blood, grabs it by the ear, and takes it

34:36

to the cell. The cells are real now,

34:38

because we already have

34:40

glucose here. Okay, and it takes it from the

34:41

ear to the liver so that it can be

34:43

stored. Okay, that's it.

34:47

Importance, well, I don't expect you to

34:49

understand what glycogen is and what

34:51

starch is, simply a

34:53

glucose reserve, a glucose sac in animals

34:56

and

34:57

plants. Okay, kids, very good, very good,

35:00

very good. You know that you

35:03

can ask any questions you have in

35:06

the WhatsApp group. Any questions you have, you

35:09

can or should ask in the

35:11

WhatsApp group. Okay, let's move on to

35:14

the next

35:17

biomolecule, lipids.

35:19

We're going to talk about lipids. Do you remember I

35:22

told you that glutes were

35:24

sugars? Very good. So, what are lipids

35:27

going to be, teacher? Lipids are going to

35:30

be fats, fats, fats, and

35:34

oils. Fats and oils—any

35:38

fat or oil you know is a

35:41

substance. Very good. Therefore, if they are

35:44

fats and oils, they are soluble in water.

35:48

What do you say? No, they aren't soluble in water. They aren't

35:53

soluble

35:55

in water. Also, also, kid, also, do you

35:59

remember I told you that glutes

36:00

had an energy of four

36:02

kilocalories per gram? Very good.

36:05

Lipids are going to have an energy of,

36:07

what, approximately 9

36:10

kilocalories per gram? gram if you wean yourself you realize,

36:14

no teacher, but that's more

36:16

than double, yes, then teacher, I live, well,

36:19

in the morning I grab, I eat a lot

36:20

of fat, I told you, I told you that the glutes

36:24

are a source of immediate energy,

36:26

whereas lipids will take longer in

36:28

the metabolism, well, if you have a fatty lunch or

36:31

dinner,

36:34

a pork rind, a lot, you'll be

36:37

active at night, very good, let's continue,

36:39

why? Because the metabolism will take

36:41

longer, but you'll have plenty of

36:44

energy, or the next day, it's red, and

36:46

because of what's heavy, but very red, teacher, the

36:49

glutes can double, the sun, where, where, where, where,

36:53

if they are soluble, the

36:56

glutes, the glutes are, for example,

36:58

soluble in gasoline, in ether, in

37:02

formaldehyde, in those compounds, in those compounds, not in water.

37:05

Today, water

37:07

is a polar compound,

37:10

but therefore, in other words,

37:12

we can say that lipids are not

37:14

soluble in polar compounds, but they are

37:16

in nonpolar compounds, well,

37:19

we can classify them, teacher, of course, we're going

37:23

to Lipids are classified in two

37:26

ways: saponification and non-

37:28

saponifiable. "Saponifiable" means

37:31

that soaps can be made with this

37:33

lipid. "Non-saponifiable" means that

37:35

soaps cannot be made with this

37:37

lipid. You might say, "Okay, okay, let's

37:40

change the subject." "Saponifiable" lipids are

37:42

those that will have fatty acids in

37:45

their structure. If they have fatty acids in

37:48

their structure, they will be saponifiable.

37:50

Let's change it to "

37:53

with fatty acids," "with

37:58

fatty acids," and "with fatty acids." And "

38:01

instantaneous" lipids are those that do not

38:03

have fatty acids. "With fatty acids," and "unsaturated."

38:07

Very good, there it is. Now,

38:10

teacher, everything's great. But what is a

38:13

fatty acid? A fatty acid is a chain

38:15

of carbons, a

38:18

carbon chain. Okay, now you're going to see two types

38:21

of fatty acids. Which ones, teacher?

38:24

Saturated fatty acids and

38:25

unsaturated fatty acids. Let's draw a

38:28

fatty acid here. Look, here we draw a

38:30

carbon chain. I don't see this

38:34

carbon-carbon-carbon-carbon bond. Very good.

38:37

5 the Carbons, hydrogens, hydrogens, that's what

38:39

a fatty acid is for. Look,

38:43

that would be a fatty acid. Well,

38:45

the structure of any fatty acid,

38:46

right?

38:48

And that's it. It's the structure of any

38:50

fatty acid. I

38:52

have the saturated fatty acid, which

38:54

means saturated fatty acids. Simple

38:57

means that the chain, or the carbons,

39:00

sorry, the carbons, are going to be

39:02

saturated. You know from chemistry that a

39:05

carbon, when it's saturated, is when it

39:07

has all four bonds in the chain. When it has,

39:09

when the chain is full of only

39:11

single bonds,

39:13

we put it here. Saturated is when

39:16

the chain has single bonds.

39:19

Okay, single bonds. On the other hand, unsaturated

39:22

is when the chain is going to have

39:25

multiple bonds. Okay, we put it

39:28

here. We put it here when the

39:31

chain has multiple bonds.

39:35

Therefore, if the chain has only

39:37

single bonds, it can

39:40

have some kind of fluidity. Of course

39:44

not. Look, it's all tightly packed. The

39:47

chain can't move. Therefore, the

39:49

chain, the

39:53

saturated fatty acid is going to be solid. Okay,

39:56

solid.

39:57

If it has a double bond here, if it has

40:00

to do with a double bond,

40:01

let's say, and it loses this bond of Here,

40:03

because carbon, you know, only

40:05

has to have four bonds in 1, 2, 3, 4. On this

40:07

side, the chain can move if

40:10

I keep changing it. Here, I

40:12

put a double bond and erase this. The meat becomes

40:15

more flexible. You see, the head is

40:18

flexible. Therefore, here in the little

40:20

chain, or the unsaturated fatty acid, it won't

40:23

be solid, it will be liquid, okay, liquid,

40:27

semi-liquid. Very good. Now,

40:30

what type of fat do you know that is

40:33

solid?

40:35

For example, lard. Good, for example,

40:39

lard, for example, what else? Well,

40:42

lard, basically no. And in liquids, what

40:45

fat do you know that is

40:48

liquid? For example, oils. Good, for

40:51

example, oils. Where do we put lard here? We put lard

40:54

here.

40:58

For example, lard, for example, lard. An

41:01

example, we are putting

41:03

oils here. Very good. Now, obviously,

41:06

what origin does lard have, Michael?

41:08

Animal or vegetable? What do you say? Lard

41:11

has an animal origin. Good, animal origin. Animal origin. That's it, animal origin.

41:15

And

41:19

what origin does oil have? Obviously, it

41:21

has a vegetable origin. That's it, vegetable. We

41:26

would have put this, as it

41:30

says in the list, no. In a list, but due to

41:32

space constraints, we've

41:34

put it in your

41:36

nice little notebook: saturated (pure

41:39

single bonds), unsaturated (also present multiple

41:40

bonds), liquid (for example,

41:44

oil, which is of vegetable origin),

41:46

saturated (single bonds), solid (for example,

41:49

butter, which is of animal origin). Very good,

41:51

guys, we've

41:52

classified them. Now we're going to talk about

41:55

the classification.

41:57

Within saponification, there's a

42:00

range of lipid types, and within

42:02

saponification, there's also a

42:04

range of clean lipid types. Okay, I think that's enough for now. We're

42:06

going to do it

42:09

here. We have the

42:13

simple lipid type. Within its classification, we have the simple

42:16

lipid and the complex lipid.

42:18

In simple lipids,

42:21

we have the

42:23

derived lipid. There isn't any more.

42:25

Let's go with the simple ones.

42:29

A classic example of

42:31

simple lipids is

42:34

triglycerides. Look at triglycerides.

42:37

Why are triglycerides called

42:40

simple lipids? Because They are obviously

42:44

formed only

42:48

by alcohol, or

42:51

what kind of

42:53

alcohol? Glycerol. Look, it's made up

42:56

of glycerol, and it's also made up of an

42:58

acid and a fatty acid, nothing else. Okay, it's

43:02

called simple because it's only

43:04

made up of alcohol and a fatty acid. If it

43:07

had something else, it wouldn't be simple anymore, it

43:09

would be complex. But since it's only

43:12

made up of alcohol, glycerol, and a

43:14

fatty acid, it's considered a

43:16

simple lipid. And we were just talking about

43:20

triglycerides.

43:23

Triglycerides, look, triglycerides are

43:25

made up of this little

43:27

head, we'll call it one. This

43:31

second one, these

43:34

green branches, we'll call them two, and

43:36

here's this link that will join the two.

43:42

What will

43:44

one be called? What will one be? This one will

43:47

be precisely the alcohol. Look,

43:49

glycerol, okay, it will be the alcohol,

43:52

glycerol. This 2, what will these 2 be?

43:55

These are the

43:59

fatty acids. They have already been... We put

44:01

fatty acid here, it stands out, right? Very

44:06

good. So, if we have the fatty acid

44:09

present, how many do you count? 1, 2, 3? Since it

44:15

has three fatty acids, that's why it's

44:18

considered as 3,

44:21

and 33... Okay, very good. So,

44:24

volume 3 fatty acids, that's why it's

44:28

considered a triglyceride. Don't

44:30

forget. Very good, teacher. And

44:33

through what bond are they joined?

44:35

Through what bond? In the... and... the glycerol

44:38

with the fatty acids are

44:40

joined. Mind the bond, where to put it here? Bond, Esther.

44:42

Okay, external bond. You're going to

44:47

forget, what's it called? Bond, just like your

44:49

friend Esther. Very good, that's it. Now, what

44:53

is the function of triglycerides? Well,

44:57

first of all, it forms part of...

44:59

let's say, part of the

45:01

tissue, adipose tissue. It forms part

45:06

of adipose tissue. Now, thanks to

45:09

being part of adipose tissue, it's

45:11

a thermoregulator. It keeps

45:15

the organs warm. Because, teacher,

45:17

because it's like you have

45:19

a very thick jacket on top of you.

45:23

So it keeps your body warm. That is to

45:26

say, since it's not a house, it's a...

45:27

A lot of fat is going to keep your

45:31

body temperature stable,

45:33

the internal temperature of your organs. That's why

45:36

your chubby friend is

45:38

always hot and always

45:42

sweating. If you don't

45:45

remember, say hi to your dad.

45:48

Chubby people are always sweating

45:49

precisely because they have a lot of

45:52

fat, and that fat is going to heat up or

45:56

keep their internal organs very hot,

45:57

and the body is going to react

45:59

as if it were very hot and is going to

46:02

release that heat in the form of

46:03

water to generate sweat so that

46:08

it takes away the heat. Okay, that's very

46:12

good. Now it's thermoregulatory, and you also

46:15

have to know that it serves as a reserve.

46:19

Look, energy reserve. Okay, it serves as an

46:24

energy reserve. Okay, energy,

46:27

very good. It's part of

46:29

adipose tissue, it's thermoregulatory, and it's also an

46:32

energy reserve. Those are

46:34

triglycerides. I have another type of

46:36

lipid, teacher. It's always clear. I have

46:40

alkaline lipids. Look, I have alkaline lipids.

46:43

What's the difference between them? And

46:45

triglycerides and waxes,

46:47

if triglycerides are also

46:48

made up of fatty acids and glycerol,

46:50

here I'm going to put it made up of

46:53

fatty acid first, first we're going to put 0,

46:56

already made up of glycerol,

47:00

we put here made up of glycerol, the

47:03

alcohol, glycerol and fatty acid, but

47:07

you know that this glycerol and fatty acid,

47:10

we're going to put here

47:14

both of long chain, both of long chain

47:17

and complex, long chain and

47:21

also complex, we put a and glycerol,

47:25

alcohol, glycerol and fatty acid, both of

47:27

long chain and also complex. Let's see

47:29

an example, an example of a wax that

47:32

I know is Michael, the ear, what is

47:34

the wax

47:35

of the ear called, be a, I mentioned, for example,

47:38

earwax, hey, earwax, we have it in the little

47:41

ear, we take it out with a little spoon, you see

47:43

the yellow stuff, that there is earwax, well,

47:46

another example we have cutin, look, the cutin

47:49

we have here, further on we have the

47:52

cuticle, we have someone else, we have, for

47:54

example, wax, beeswax from the

47:59

honeycomb, look, beeswax,

48:01

well, we have here, further on we have earwax, we

48:04

don't put Earwax, not lanolin.

48:07

Lanolin is better than lanolin.

48:12

Lanolin is the wax present

48:16

in wool. You know, in the mountains we

48:19

have sheep, we have

48:21

alpacas, we have these little animals that

48:23

live in very cold environments. So,

48:26

this little animal, well, you've probably seen it in

48:28

the news, the

48:30

next day in the frosts in Puno. It's

48:33

a region of Peru. Well, in case you didn't know, there are

48:36

people from Mexico here in the

48:38

Maicon virtual course, so we have to

48:40

inform those young people a little. Well, Puno

48:43

is a region here in Peru where it's very

48:45

cold, and it's a region in the

48:47

mountains where it's very cold, and

48:49

generally every year there are frosts, that is,

48:52

the temperature drops a lot, and in the

48:54

news it shows that the

48:56

animals are moving from the cold and all that, but the

48:58

animals that survive, you see them with a

49:01

lot of ice on their backs. Look, you

49:04

put some ice on your back

49:05

all night, you'll die. I don't do

49:07

it because they don't die. Well, they do

49:10

die, but these ones that have suffered,

49:12

why haven't they died? They have The

49:13

ice on the back, what happens

49:14

next, they have this series in their

49:17

fur,

49:19

they have lanolin, and what does lanolin do?

49:22

Lanolin

49:25

is going to be in charge of, how do I explain it,

49:29

repelling water. Well, it repels water. It's like if

49:33

you try to

49:35

put oil on my hand and try to

49:38

wet my hand, you won't be able to because the

49:41

oil will cover, it will protect my hand. It's

49:42

something like that. The little wool has to do that, and

49:45

it will prevent the water from coming

49:48

into contact with the wool.

49:50

Therefore, the water won't be able to pass through to

49:53

the skin. Well, it will stay there, just

49:55

in the wool. It won't pass through to the

49:57

animal's skin. It will get wet, but not very

49:59

wet, very little. On the

50:01

other hand, if it didn't have that wax,

50:03

the animal would get wet and move around, it would

50:06

die of cold, it wouldn't die of pneumonia, or

50:07

anything else that could get it. Okay,

50:10

little ones,

50:12

very good. Those were the simple lipids,

50:15

triglycerides, and also laser. And okay, let's go

50:18

with complex lipids. To

50:20

say complex lipid means that in

50:23

addition to having

50:25

fatty acid, glycerol, and alcohol, it will have

50:28

something else. In this case, it will have a

50:31

phosphate group and a nitrogen group.

50:34

Okay, so it's called complex. Remember, it's

50:36

called complex because, unlike

50:39

the simple lipid, besides having glycerol and

50:42

fatty acid, it will have something else. In this

50:44

case, it will have a phosphate group and a

50:46

nitrogen group. We put it here.

50:50

The complex lipid wasn't going to be

50:52

glycerol. There it is. We put

50:54

glycerol here, plus fatty acid. But

50:59

how many fatty acids do we see here? We

51:01

put here, we

51:05

put here fatty acid, plus

51:10

a phosphate group and

51:13

a nitrogen group. Let's put it

51:15

with another color, does it look pinkish?

51:18

Okay, over there, over here, also, over there. Look,

51:23

remember that the simple lipid

51:26

only has glycerol and fatty acid,

51:29

whereas this complex lipid, besides

51:31

glycerol and fatty acid, has the

51:33

phosphate group and the nitrogen group. Also,

51:38

how many fatty acids will I have?

51:41

I'll have two fatty acids, okay?

51:44

Here they were Three, look, three here, there are two. Okay, let's

51:48

see,

51:49

a classic example of a complex lipid

51:54

would be the very well-

51:56

known phospholipid. So,

51:58

here we put the phospholipid,

52:02

phosphorus, bili, surely, surely, little phospholipid. Does it ring a bell? Does it ring a bell?

52:08

Yes or no? Does it ring a bell? Does cytology

52:11

ring a bell? Maybe it rings a bell? Of course, well,

52:15

because the phospholipid, the phospholipids

52:18

are forming part of the

52:23

cell membrane, the shell that

52:25

the cell has, the envelope that the

52:28

cytoplasm of the cell has, is going to be called

52:30

precisely the cell membrane, and this

52:32

cell membrane is going to be composed of

52:34

phospholipids. Very good, there you go.

52:37

Also, you have to know that a

52:39

phospholipid has two regions, a region

52:42

known as a polar region and a region

52:45

known as a non-polar region. Therefore, if it

52:48

has a polar region and a non-polar region, it is going to be

52:50

known as an

52:53

amphipathic molecule. Okay, an amphipathic molecule. There you go.

53:00

Here I have

53:03

drawn a phospholipid. Okay, the

53:06

phospholipid, as you can see, has three

53:08

parts And you have 1, 2, and 3. Okay, let's

53:12

expand on this. Now, it has three

53:16

parts, and you know what

53:19

number one is going to be? Number one,

53:21

obviously. Then the phosphate group

53:24

and the nitrogen group. Look, 1

53:27

corresponds to the head. 1

53:29

corresponds to the head. Therefore,

53:31

1 would be precisely the

53:34

phosphate group and the nitrogen group. Okay, teacher,

53:36

I'm here. What is the green one?

53:39

What is the green one? It would

53:41

be the alcohol.

53:43

This green one would be the

53:44

glycerol. Okay, this green one would

53:47

be the glycerol. Which one, teacher? This one here. There we

53:49

are numbering. We are

53:51

numbering. Very good. And this one here, number 3. The

53:54

3, which would be the

53:58

two fatty acids. Okay, we

54:00

put it here. So, this

54:03

number three means, or rather, it is

54:06

precisely the two fatty acids that

54:08

are part of the complex lipids.

54:14

Very good. Let's see the zones. Remember

54:17

that this is group 2, dealing with the

54:18

alcohol and the fatty acids. Let's see the

54:20

zone. The little head, the little head, the

54:24

little head will be known as the

54:26

polar zone. The little head will be the

54:30

polar zone, teacher. And the little tail, what will

54:33

the little tail be? Well, it will be the

54:35

apolar zone. The apolar zone, like

54:40

the polar zone, can mix with

54:43

water. The polar zone can mix

54:46

with water, so we know it as a

54:50

hydrophilic region or zone, however you want to call it. Well, hydrophilic because it

54:54

can mix with water, it

54:56

tolerates water. On the other hand, in the

54:59

polar zone, this part here, which

55:01

is obviously fat, look, look at this, since it's fat, it's fat.

55:03

Fat can mix with

55:06

water, obviously not. Therefore,

55:08

this will be known as a hydrophobic zone or

55:10

region. It

55:15

has a phobia of water, it's afraid of

55:17

water, it absolutely rejects water.

55:20

Because, teacher, this little part here is

55:22

nothing more and nothing less than fat. That's why it's

55:25

a fatty acid, it's fat, and

55:27

fat doesn't mix with water. On the other hand,

55:29

that little part, the head, can

55:31

mix with water, therefore

55:33

hydrophilic. Hydrophobic, hydrophilic,

55:36

and that's it. That's

55:38

with respect to

55:39

complex lipids. You know the cell membrane,

55:41

right? The cell membrane is more or

55:43

less like this: head, tail, head, tail, tail, tail. Since it

55:47

has two

55:50

layers, it's known as the

55:52

lipid bilayer. It has two layers. I have here

55:55

the head, tail, head, tail, tail.

55:58

Therefore, this area here

56:00

can combine with water, the

56:02

peripheral region, and it can combine with

56:04

water. But the central region, don't you see that

56:06

these here are fatty acids.

56:08

Since this is fat, it can't combine

56:10

with water. Hydrophilic region,

56:13

hydrophobic region. Don't forget, I was...

56:15

very good, let's continue. So,

56:18

what is the other type of lipid that

56:21

we know or that we are going to learn about

56:22

in this video? It is precisely the

56:25

derived lipids, which in this case are non-

56:28

renewable because they are non-

56:30

renewable, teacher. They are insignificant

56:31

because they do not contain fatty acids. Also, it is

56:36

called a derived lipid because these

56:38

lipids are derived from... and from whom are they

56:41

derived? Lipid derivatives will be

56:43

derived from the cycle. Look, look,

56:46

look, a very short name, not

56:50

a common name, a name we repeat

56:53

daily: cyclopentane, cyclopentane, cyclopentane, cyclopentane. We

56:57

start there, we

56:59

increase danger,

57:02

cyclopentane, perhydrophenanthrene. There's

57:05

a very common name, or cyclopentane,

57:08

perhydrophenanthrene. These

57:11

lipid derivatives will come from

57:15

the cyclopentane,

57:17

perhydrophenanthrene cycle. And right here

57:20

we have the rings. Look, the cyclopentane,

57:23

but hydrophenanthrene, is a

57:24

set of rings. You see, at some

57:26

point, you see here, some

57:30

fatty acid, no longer, as if it were no longer

57:33

fatty, then it's known as a non-fatty acid.

57:35

Well, there's the cyclopentane. I haven't

57:38

drawn it

57:39

here, teacher, what do you do? Take things out,

57:42

baker, with C, the A, B, and C, precisely, it's

57:45

the rings of phenanthrene. You don't

57:49

have to forget about them, they are the

57:51

rings of phenanthrene. And teacher, what is it?

57:53

How many carbons does it have? 1, 2, 3, 4? 5. And

57:57

since it's a closed chain, it's known

58:00

as the

58:02

cyclopendic cycle. You just have to use this

58:04

word, not cyclopenta, no, very good. There it is.

58:07

Now, teacher, and where am I going to find, for

58:12

example, derived lipids? Where am I going to find them?

58:15

Let's put an example

58:17

here. Let's put

58:19

examples here. Where am I going to find the

58:23

derived lipid? Let's put it in purple, okay?

58:25

Let's

58:29

put it in purple. Where can

58:30

I find the cyclopendic cycle, but

58:32

hydrophenanthrene, or the derivatives of the

58:34

periodic table cycle? Where,

58:36

for example, do I find it in

58:38

cholesterol?

58:40

Teacher, in cholesterol, of course. And teacher,

58:42

where is cholesterol found? I'm

58:44

going to find cholesterol at the

58:48

level of the cell membrane. Okay,

58:51

there I'm going to find cholesterol at the

58:53

level of the cell membrane. There I'm going to

58:56

find cholesterol. Very good. And

59:00

also, cholesterol is going to

59:03

form, look, it forms,

59:07

steroids. Let's see, let's see, a

59:10

steroid, for example,

59:12

sex hormones. Okay, for example,

59:15

we put here, for example,

59:19

sex hormones. Very good, we put

59:21

sex hormones. Within those

59:24

sex hormones, who am I going to... Let's

59:27

find with the little orange. Look, with the

59:29

little orange, who am I going to find? For

59:30

example, I'm going to find, for example,

59:32

testosterone. Look

59:34

at testosterone, and you know very well that

59:36

testosterone is going to give

59:38

males their masculine characteristics.

59:41

Okay, and we also have, for example,

59:44

estradiol. Estradiol is going to be in charge

59:47

of giving females their feminine characteristics.

59:52

Okay, that's it. Where else can we

59:56

find

59:58

lipid derivatives? We can find them

1:00:00

in bile acids. Look, what do

1:00:03

bile acids do? Do you remember

1:00:05

bile? Have you heard about bile?

1:00:07

Bile acids are going to be in

1:00:09

charge of... let's put it here, little

1:00:11

orange. Okay, they're going to be in

1:00:14

charge of breaking down. Look, what do they break down? They

1:00:19

obviously break down fats. Okay, they

1:00:22

break down fats. Let's talk a little

1:00:23

about this when we get to the

1:00:25

digestive system. Okay, and then, well, I ca

1:00:28

n't talk about

1:00:29

vitamins. Look, but all the vitamins,

1:00:31

teacher, you don't have to talk about

1:00:33

vitamins. Look, look, the vitamins here,

1:00:37

and the popular vitamins. Okay,

1:00:42

vitamins. Teacher, which of the

1:00:46

vitamins? You can ask me about any of them,

1:00:48

but in... In this case, we're going to talk a

1:00:50

little bit about vitamin D.

1:00:52

You know very well that vitamin D is in

1:00:54

the skin, right? It's

1:00:55

in the skin. Vitamin D is precisely in

1:00:58

charge of calcium metabolism.

1:01:01

Okay, we put calcium metabolism here.

1:01:04

Good, vitamin D metabolism, calcium metabolism.

1:01:07

Very good,

1:01:11

very good. So you don't have to

1:01:13

forget that

1:01:15

lipid derivatives, okay, derivatives are

1:01:18

derived from the cyclopentane-

1:01:20

phenanthrene cyclopentane.

1:01:22

Repeat after me: cyclopentane-

1:01:24

phenanthrene. I'm referring to the cyclopentane-phenanthrene cyclopentane.

1:01:26

Very good. For example,

1:01:29

cholesterol, which is part of the

1:01:31

cell membrane, we'll talk about that in

1:01:32

cytology. Also, cholesterol

1:01:35

forms steroids, such as

1:01:36

sex hormones like

1:01:39

testosterone and estradiol, which

1:01:41

give

1:01:42

individuals their characteristics. Okay, and also, I have

1:01:46

bile acids, which break down

1:01:47

fats, they digest

1:01:50

fats. And I also have vitamins, like

1:01:52

vitamin K and vitamin D. You

1:01:56

know very well that it's in the skin and that it's in

1:01:57

charge of calcium metabolism.

1:01:59

Today, one A quick question: between fatty acids and

1:02:02

glycerol, what is the bond

1:02:04

called? What is the bond called? So,

1:02:07

we're going to put it here too. There's

1:02:10

also an esther bond here. Look how

1:02:13

pinkish it is. There's going to be a bond here too.

1:02:15

What is this bond called? It's going to be

1:02:17

called an esther bond. And do you know

1:02:20

what the process for forming esther

1:02:22

bonds is called? The process for forming

1:02:24

esther bonds is going to be called a

1:02:26

verification. Don't forget, obviously

1:02:29

we're going to talk about that when we get to

1:02:30

organic chemistry later on. Okay, kids,

1:02:33

very good. So

1:02:36

here we finish what is

1:02:39

organic biomolecules, part 1. The

1:02:42

next class, I think it will be

1:02:45

Saturday, we're going to talk about... on

1:02:49

Tuesday, I think... I don't know which one it will be,

1:02:52

but we're going to do what

1:02:54

corresponds to DNA, not nucleic acids and

1:02:57

proteins. Okay, kids, to finally

1:03:00

move on to cytology. Okay, so calmly

1:03:03

we're going to learn in detail each of

1:03:05

these things so that you can

1:03:07

successfully face your entrance exam. Okay, kids, that's it. So, well,

1:03:10

I'm

1:03:14

David R. This was exclusive to the

1:03:17

Mehdi Sciences virtual course.

1:03:18

See you later, bye.
