Biomolecules

Biomolecules

• In this course you will learn about molecules of life.

• Biomolecules are important for the functioning of living organisms. These are building blocks of living organisms, so the presence of appropriate concentration of biomolecules are important for structure and proper function of living cells.

• Macro biomolecules are built from small organic compounds the same way a railroad train is built. By linking   a lot of smaller units together into long chain.

• The course encompasses the structure, monomer, examples, functions, bonds of biomolecules.

• The overall goal of this course is to give students knowledge of biomolecules.

• More than 90% of the content is presented in short videos ( not longer than 8 minutes.) that concisely explains concepts. Pictures are attached to explore the concepts briefly.

• This course will be taught through power point presentation, pre-recorded lectures and quizzes.

• After completing this course students would be able to fully prepare for examination and be able to compare the structure , function of biomolecules including Carbohydrates, lipids, Proteins, lipids.

• You learn role of macromolecules in the body. How biomolecules relate to day to day life.

• You can differentiate between RNA and DNA.

• This course will taught with applications to real world.

• You can differentiate between glycosidic bond, phospodiester bond, peptide bond, hydrogen bond, ester bond. Where they are present , their structure.

• You  differentiate between Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic amino acids.

Without biomolecules a cell and organism would not be able to live.
