Your videos are pretty good and informative, but when you have an incorrect information given mistakenly, you need to put a comment and provide the correct one. At 9:33, you put a note that 'all monosaccharides have the formula C6H12O6, not just glucose..". This is true for fructose and galactose, but not ribose and deoxyribose sugar. They are 5C type sugars containing only 5 carbons and their molecular formula is C5H10O5 for ribose and C5H10O4 for C5H10O4. You had plenty of time to correct since January 2014 (now 2020).
Thank you for your comment and pointing out inaccurate formulas. As stated, my channel is made for high school students. My videos are not meant to be high-level in detail, such as for college students. The students I made this video for in 2014 were reviewing the basics they learned about them from the previous year. As a teacher, I was trying to get a point across about monosaccharides in general. As we progress to content later in the year, such as DNA and RNA, the "mistakenly incorrect information" is clarified upon in class as we talk about deoxyribose and ribose within nucleotides. Teachers often need to oversimplify information to get the big idea across, and then from there, we can build off the fundamentals as students progress to more advanced classes like AP Bio. Whenever I decide to remake this video, I will be sure to say "many" monosaccharides instead of "all".
Great Video. I am an engineer going back to school for nursing and this is immensely helpful for refreshing bio for my prerequisites
great videos! wish I'd found them earlier. I'm taking a online chem class and these lectures are far superior than the ones that I am paying for!
