Needs energy uses glucose to get that energy through a Is originally captured from the sun by plants as One of the global food chain because it comes from the sun. The star of the show here is Glucose because it's truly fundamental. Mono, for one, saccharidesįor the actual root of the word sugar. And the simplest of themĪre called Monosaccharides. They are the source of all energy that we have available to us. Nothing, and no one can avoid carbohydrates because Of them, you may in fact be avoiding them like the plague. The most basic of these ingredients for life and Organisms either need to synthesis or ingest those ingredients There were three ingredients necessary for life. Now he didn't understand that there were biological molecules. And if you could tell that much by color, I wonder what you could tell by taste. Walking around believing that the color of your urine was determined by your personality. He was study actual science everybody else was Prout was overlooked in his own lifetime, because while Not just, sheep, kidneysĪnd gin which is probably what most of London was That in order to be healthy you needed to eat all The Oleaginous, the fats and the Albuminous, the proteins. Studying urine, Prout came to the conclusion thatĪll foods stuff fell into three categories. And he was, of course, theįirst person to discover the chemical composition of pure urea, the main component of urine. And there he did many great things like being the first toĭiscover that our stomachs contained Hydrochloric AcidĪnd writing a breakthrough book about Kidney Stones called, An Inquiry Into the NatureĪnd Treatment of Gravel, Calculus and Other DiseasesĬonnected with a Deranged Operation of the Urinary Organs. By day, he was a practicing physician but every morning beforeīreakfast he did research in his home laboratory in London. The body's chemistry was to understand what it does to food. Thought that the best way to understand the humanīody was through chemistry. He became fascinated with human digestion,Įspecially our urine. In the den so that must mean that it's time for the mostĪwkwardly named segment here on crash course, Biolography. (upbeat music) Wow, my goodness, I'm back We have to thank a little known English physician, who hundreds of yearsĪgo dedicated his life to the study of human pee. It's no coincidence that weĬlassify them in the same way that we classify food. Lipids, the Proteins, and the Nucleic Acids. To ultimately pass those same instructions on the That all organisms use to be born, to grow and They are essential sources of energy, they are the means of storing that energy, they are also the instructions Necessary for every living thing on Earth to survive. Or if you're Lady Gaga or if you're a mite living on the Queen of England's eyelashes. I don't care if you're a bacterium or if you're a blue whale Talk about the molecules that make up every living thing and every living thing (upbeat music) So far we've talked about carbon and we've talked about water.
Who taught us everything that we know about urine. I'm going to talk to you about three different things. I'm making lunch today, I wanted to sort of use it as a lab. Today because last week we started off in my bathroom, and I kinda feel bad about that, and also because as
