Biology 1A - Lecture 1: Course introduction. Introduction to macromolecules.

[zulubeatz817]

Damn shes sexy! She can teach me compound molecular biology any day.

[mikawahwah]

Thank you for this wonderful lecture!

[twinturboor35]

This is soooooooooooo much better than my school. i hate my school so damn much. never go to the university of michigan dearborn cuz it freqen sucks!!!! tests in this class are all multiple choice, haha thats something you dream of at the university of michigan dearborn. i sooooooooo wana transfer out.

[devilaliali]

@twinturboor35 Come to my Uni and u will commit suicide >.< .. i guess our uni motto is ''F*CK people let em die'' << studying medicine 

[madisonheidi1]

Does anyone know a way to get a syllabus to this class?

[TheTalkingRandom]

This is so helpful! I'm going to high school next year and want to be prepared. Thank you, Berkeley!

[drtaher13]

Some problem with the video. It just stops playing at 22 mins .

[BeatsBySam]

Does anyone know if they study out of the Campbell Biology textbook?

[jpgrgmgs]

@BeatsBySam

Yes, 8th edition

[NorthForkFisherman]

@jpgrgmgs JCCC uses a modified version. Ah me, wonder what's skipped our version.

[dodgerguy1981]

What biology course is required for premed classes? This seems like it is high school bio.

[TigerEyeJewel]

what i don't get is that how does that formula H20 actually form the water we drink, and touch and see? Does it attract positive to negative until it doubles and doubles and doubles etc. until it is humanly visable?

[Whatsifsowhatsit]

@TigerEyeJewel Exactly! A humanly visible amount of water has many many such molecules connected together.

[eyebal]

I'm very lucky. I'm taking a class over the summer that uses this book. So these lectures will definitely help to supplement.

[MrPhantasma13]

Can I use Campbell's Biology 9th Edition to audit this lecture?

Or to use 8/E?

[knivesron]

one thing that i find hard to get my head around is the very last thing she covered. i understand the meanings. but i find it hard to build a model in my head based on the information given here. i.e. 1 cal is the energy used to heat 1 gram of water up one degree.i have trouble making this seem more then just words on paper. is any one able to explain this in another way, possibly more technical so i can understand and build a more accurate model in my head. this can be applied to joules to

[MentalProfessor]

I appreciate the free online lectures. Good job :) 

[OnSmallWings]

I'm impressed with how many lectures Berkeley offers on here.

[KingSh00ter233]

i only watched this cause i have a bio midterm tm...and im gonna fail

[alllitangio]

@KingSh00ter233 haha

[hassannaveed12]

this is very interesting 

[johnfox1johnfox1]

Ours 8th edition text is total crap, 1300 pages, extremely glossy, super heavy and bulky, not mentioning buggy website and useless tech support. Please share your experience in using Campbell's in US.

[jaaaaaaaki]

thanx a lot I wish to be a brain & nerves suergent

[seibar5]

skip the first 20 minutes. Otherwise, great review for before my Bio101 midterm along with some others. Thanks!

[mzbebegirl]

Thank you so much for this video. This is just what I needed :)

[BlueBurryPimp]

wow exams are done on the first week.thats incredible

[Dresden1065]

Godamn, the first like 15 mins are about the course. Get to the fucking point and start lecturing already.

[MindAndMarzipan]

The instructor made a couple of errors. I hope this was due to nerves.

[geddoe316]

on a side note, i hate how most class structures are the 1, or 2 tests, a paper, and a final. sometimes a tiny bit more, someone less. i think in the end it is the laziness of the prof. or are they simply trying to show people "this isn't high school anymore" bullshit i say. it's simple. more chances for grades means more for a student to show what he/she has learned in a timely fashion

[Utigard1989]

@geddoe316 well obviously they don't give homework for marks because we gotta learn how to do these things ourselves and that will show by the end of the year when you take your final so if your that much better a student then you will have that much better a mark. learning is your responsibility and they are just there to teach. Well that is my opinion.

[geddoe316]

wow have some of these comment people even been to school? this is the first class, come on. it is meant to be an intro

[StratosJ]

This is actually something I am very greatful for as a foreigner that is quite fluent in English, but lacks the knowledge of chemistry and biology terms. I'm entering college in the Czech Republic this year, but I like to review some of these lessons, so thanks for putting them up.

[SharathCK]

this teacher reminds me of the mom from "jack and bobby"

[SharathCK]

in which lecture does she explain how it is possible for women to leave the kitchen?

[BlueBurryPimp]

@SharathCK (Giggidy)

[downsideupgoesgroar]

@SharathCK i see you got lost while looking for new porn sites... good for you

[sauronsaur0n]

Thank you professor Doudna.

Now for lesson 2

[SiliconIsuru]

It took 19:31 to start the lesson!!!! errr!!!!

[madisonheidi1]

@SiliconIsuru

It's starts 17 minutes



[aaronhedberg]

whoa, it brings back all the anxiety i had associated with college

[Kingnaster74]

Lesson learned, don't put beer in the freezer!

[terry1919]

92 elements??? last time I checked there were 116... unless she's focusing on the non-radioactive elements

[kamyarghofrani]

you must be quite old, cause there are 118 now

[terry1919]

@kamyarghofrani it's called WISDOM

try it some time

[kamyarghofrani]

@terry1919 i meant no offense.

sorry if i offended you...

[KiptaviusFuzz]

@terry1919 trying wisdom?

[terry1919]

@KiptaviusFuzz oh gee your vacuously juvenile attempt at humor did prove 2 things

you'll try anything including changing your screen name to reply to me...

and your lack of intelligence...

you may now return to your vodka induced stupor...

[KiptaviusFuzz]

@terry1919 Dude calm your loins. I didn't change my screen name; I've always had this account. How can you assess my intelligence by two words and a question mark?

[BartBVanBockstaele]

She's not focussing on them. She's merely illustrating that only a minority of elements is essential to life. As for the rest, 92 is the number traditionally named as that of the naturally occurring elements on earth. It turns out that this is not entirely correct. Plutonium, for example, does occur naturally, but only in minute amounts, so 92 is correct enough.

[terry1919]

@BartBVanBockstaele I believe that I already said that...

apparently you're NOT LISTENING...

[BartBVanBockstaele]

I am, and it's not what you said. You believe wrongly.

[terry1919]

@BartBVanBockstaele

get a life numbnutz

[detrats09]

"does anybody know?"- LOL

no shit.

[WWEQAF]

my first college bio class was awesome and fun, these schools seem so boring.

[bia10]

do i have hallucinations or the educational system in USA COMPLETLY SUX!

[OminousRun]

@bia10

Keep everything in context, this is a lecture from the 1st day of class, covering the introductory chapter from the text. Very few college classes on the first day bombard you with high level information.

This level Bio class is the first Bio class for Science majors, so it's meant to be an introductory college level Biology class. You can't assume everyone in the class has a significant background in biology (coming from their high school).

First 4 chptrs of this text are basic stuff

[bia10]

@OminousRun

Fine so first 4 chapters are recapitulations from high school, anyway the students who got there should be elites and immediately outshine their prof, when talking such bullshits...

[i2cube]

@bia10 there are people that did not get a very strong science/biological science background back in high school; don't you know?

[rablanken]

@OminousRun There's nothing "introductory" about Bio 1A. I know because I'm taking it, after already have taken 2 years of high school, and it is brutal.

[i2cube]

@bia10 compared to hong kong, USA is heaven, you know

[B4IRUTUARU16]

@i2cube thats because students in the usa dont work themselves to death

[allan3141]

This is drivel. A Biology lecture for 8 year olds at Berkeley! A waste of 45 mins.

[framos3]

@allan3141 well, then i think u shouldn't be browsing the intenet to get some bio lectures. You should apply to Harvard or Yale 2 get some education for your level.

[Tikitian]

@allan3141 Had this been a top comment, i wouldn't have wasted 45 mins either.

[Ayla8711]

5:52 What do you enjoy moist professor?

[Danerd9]

omg i am in highschool taking honors stuff.

dis is very helpful!

[bomberfun1]

You can't even spell correctly. How are you still in High School? Probably in grade 5?

[allan3141]

@Danerd9 but wouldn't "not" have been shorter than "note"?!!!

Also grammar is the same length as "grammer."!!!

And it was not "one word" that was making difference in the example you gave; it was one letter ;-)
