In this video we introduce the concept of monomers and polymers using a few examples, as well as the important reactions of condensation and hydrolysis.
honestly, I don't even think you understand how much this video actually helped me. I have been looking and looking and I almost gave up until I found your video. sooo good thank youuuu
A macromolecule is a large molecule made of smaller molecules, but a polymer is more specific. A polymer is a macromolecule made up of repeating smaller units, called monomers, that make a chain. I was confused at first too, but a polymer is just a specific type of macromolecule; the terms polymer and macromolecule cannot be used interchangeably.
@@yirouchin0114 Your welcome. I only found out today about the difference between polymers and macromolecules. Also, in case you are wondering why lipids aren't explained in this video is because lipids, while they are just as important macromolecules as carbs, proteins and nucleic acids, are not polymers; they do not consist solely of a repeating chain of monomers.
I have three questions: 1. I have read that polymers are molecules that are made from large molecules, which is confusing because you explained that polymers are large molecules that are made from small molecules (or separate atoms it you answer yes to my second question) 2. Can macromolecules be made not only from small molecules but also from separate atoms that “stick together”? Meaning, can monomers be separate atoms in a macromolecule? 3. Macromolecules are defined by the number of the atoms or by the mass? For example, if a molecule has a large number of atoms, but the mass of it is small it’s considered a macromolecule? Thanks!
oh if youre learning this in year 8 then are u still gonna remember this when you start your a levels? im pretty sure not a lot of people can. thats why they reteach this stuff

I’m only 1:12 in and this is explained so well. The chain makes it so much more understandable.
I agree
To be honest, this is the best video that explains this topic. Some people are just gifted with the talent of teaching. Thank you so much
so useful!!!! im a new biology a level student getting ready for an exam, this video made it really clear which bits i needed to recap.
I'm a 16 year old just intested
Hope you get your A good luck
So useful! Thank you so much! Everything was explained amazingly, and it was perfect for reviewing a concept for the first time.
We are so glad you found it useful!
Life saver for intro university bio courses when you forget everything from highschool! Thank you so much!
I’m a freshman studying biology and you have no idea how much this video helped me. Thank you so much!
I just started A level Bio and this is so helpful. Thank you.
This is by far the most helpful video I have found, thank you for such a detailed yet simple explaination!
I'm studying medicine, and this has helped me so much thank you !!!!!!!!
Finally understanding polymers and monomers!
Such a helpful video! The visuals make understanding much easier.
Super explanation without brakes from India
Thank you so much for helping me with this subject, this is the only video that helped me understand monomers and polymers fully and happily
We are so glad that it helped you understand!
Great video that makes it super easy to understand the basic concepts.
this is very brief and precise. thank you so much for helping!!!
Very nicely explained. Good job!
So helpful! Well explained, glad I came across this video!
Excellent animation and explanation!
So useful ! Thank you so much for all your hard work.
VERY clearly explained, I finally understand!!
Thank you I really appreciate the effort put into this video. I feel prepared to go to my Bio 190 class now and talk about this subject.
That's awesome to hear!
Super easy to understand.
Super super super useful!!! Thanks for the clear explanation
very good video very good explanation.
Great mam, nice video I need to know about organic and inorganic compounds and their uses
terrific teaching.
YOU ARE MY SAVIOR!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Such an awesome video, congrats! I really would like to know what software did you use for make the video
Great video!
Great explanation!!! Thanks a lot :)
thank you so much this helped me pass 6th grade!!! your so good at explaning
I am surprised that you are learning these concepts in 6th grade
thank you so much, i have a bio assessment tomorrow and this helps a BUNCH!!!
Glad it helped!
Lovely explanation !
I loved the animation and yeah I understood the concept too
WOW! This was sooo easy to understand!!!
Really I had good luck for found this video it was so useful to me thanks a lot 💐
This is the first video I have watch from your channel, after watching the video *SUBSCRIBE*!!!
Thank you a lot I appreciate your efforts.
the best video so far
amazing explanation , thank u
It good! Thanks to the lady with beautiful voice!
Thank’s , it was very clear
damnnnn! this vid is legit life saver thanks!
Excellent
THANKS ALOT ! You helped me alot
Before watching this - Polymers, who are they??
After - Polymers, They are in my brain* kidding.
Thanks Atomi
Thank you a tonnnnn♥️♥️♥️♥️
Amazing.
Thank you so much❤
Amazing
Thank you so much
Thank u So muchh.
tysm this was so helpful
Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you. Be 🙌
Thankyou so much😀😃😄
thanks sis
Thanks for the homework answers
ooops... although im a biology student.. im looking for the organic chemistry stuff... later.... awesome vid
This is so useful! Now I understand what is monomer and what is polymer! Is macromolecule build by many polymer?🤔

@@arunmoses2197 Wow thanks for your explanation :-D

why did you explain it 1000x better than my teacher?
the person talking sounded so similar to hattie from jin and hattie here on youtube i came from an edpuzzle
thanks a lot

This video is pretty :)
mans learnin polys and mons ya don now
what are the monomers and polymers of Lipids?
Plz explain about addition polymerization too ......😟
Good
Thank you so much .! I m from India !
this is a level wtf i m learning this in year 8
oh if youre learning this in year 8 then are u still gonna remember this when you start your a levels?
im pretty sure not a lot of people can. thats why they reteach this stuff
@@MIKABL99D yeah
And I didn't think the perfect video existed
shoutout to all my boys who study medicine
😏👍👍👍👍
Who’s here preparing for year 12?
Hi comfort
hi
Anyone know the teachers @. Sounds pretty 🤑
Are you single?
if u like dovid thumbs up
Thanks a lot this was very helpful! :)
