Pentose Phosphate, Fructose, & Galactose Metabolism (Texas A&M FOM II 2020 Exam Unit 2)

The following are the errors in the information you provided: 00:24 The general formula for monosaccharides is Cx(H2O)x, where x is equal to the number of carbon atoms in the monosaccharide. For example, the structural formula for glucose is C6H12O6, which means that it has six carbon atoms and six water molecules. 01:15 The structural formula for lactose is C12H22O11. This means that it is a disaccharide made up of two monosaccharides, glucose and galactose. 01:39 Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, but they do not necessarily have to have the same repeating sugar unit throughout. For example, amylopectin is a polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules, but it has a branched structure. Here is a corrected version of the information you provided: Carbohydrates are molecules whose name literally means hydrates of carbon. This is because monosaccharides, the simplest carbohydrates, have a ratio of one carbon atom to two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom, the same as water. The general formula for monosaccharides is Cx(H2O)x, where x is equal to the number of carbon atoms in the monosaccharide. For example, the structural formula for glucose is C6H12O6, which means that it has six carbon atoms and six water molecules. Disaccharides are carbohydrates that are made up of two monosaccharides. They are formed by a glycosidic linkage between the two monosaccharides. Disaccharides have the general formula C12H22O11. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose). Polysaccharides are carbohydrates that are made up of many monosaccharides. They are formed by glycosidic linkages between the monosaccharides. Polysaccharides have the general formula (C6H10O5)n, where n is the number of monosaccharides in the polysaccharide. Examples of polysaccharides include cellulose, starch, glycogen, and chitin. Polysaccharides do not necessarily have to have the same repeating sugar unit throughout. For example, amylopectin is a polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules, but it has a branched structure.

not explned wel as the topic is difficult and you made it a lot much boring

Excellent lecture, very clear and well explained. Thank you so much!

Really a great and elaborate presentation. Thanks Prof. Kevin. Now I no longer struggle in cramming Biochemistry but rather find the subject interesting. I wish I started using your lecture guide early in Medical school, but any way not yet late! Thank you once again.

Amazing Dr. Kevin! Thank you very much for this course!

Excellent lecture. This is a difficult topic and it was made very clear, especially the mnemonics.

It's unfathomable how much this lecture has saved my time. Though I would appreciate a quick-summary of the products turning into intermediates for other cycles. Like with how g-1-p turns into g-6-p

Concise and clear; exactly what I needed for this topic, thank you.

Whenever I get confused about a pathway, I come to watch these videos and it helps tremendously. Thank you for what you do.

Very clear lecture right on points. Thank you for making complicated concepts straight forward.

Very insightful and brilliant explanation. I learned very much in this lecture! School professor just skip much of the importance in PPP!

He is a very Good Teacher as he teaches as if he was narrating a story.

Love him so far, clear concise and to the point and also very enlightening

Awesome job, I wish you were my teacher at my university! So clear!

Great professor, great explanations. This video was like a summary of important parts.
