What are carbon-based molecules

The video explores the significance of carbon, highlighting its role in both inorganic and organic forms. It delves into carbon's atomic structure, emphasizing its ability to form covalent bonds, which is fundamental to organic chemistry. The formation of carbon chains, rings, and their role in creating complex molecules like glucose is discussed. The concept of monomers and polymers is introduced, explaining how they form larger structures like glycogen and cellulose. Finally, the video outlines the four major classes of organic molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
