[What is Ginseng]

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng is one of the most effective antiaging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.

Other important benefits of ginseng is its support in cancer treatment and its effects on sports performance.

[Application]

1. Applied in food additives, it owns the effect of antifatigue, anti-aging and nourishing brain;

3. Applied in cosmetics field, it owns the effect of whitening, dispelling spot, anti-wrinkle, activating skin cells, making skin more tender and firm.

A song about Macromolecules (a.k.a. Biomolecules, Carbon-Based Molecules, or the molecules of life) and Nutrition (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids), based on PSY’s “Gangnam Style.”

Lyrics written by, song performed ,and Powerpoint slide show done by a simple high school science teacher named Mr. Hsu.

This song and video have been made solely for educational purposes. Its level of depth and detail into various macromolecules (biomolecules) are aimed at High School Biology students (at least the ones I teach). If you find errors or omissions (i.e. I didn’t discuss enzymes), this is due to the fact that I’m trying to make a song that appeals to students, AND I’m being constrained by describing a relatively complex topic through a highly repetitive song that was originally written in Korean.

Of course, a big reason for making this video was how viral the song became…

I also performed this song for my students in class before our macromolecule test. If you’re lucky, you might find a video of such a live performance somehwere in the vast internet (quite a few of them were recording me singing and dancing it in class, after all). A full music video with teachers dancing was also made. I’m sure you’ve found it by now…

Lyrics:

Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style!

Carbohydrates provide the energy for your life!
The simplest form, like glucose, is known as a monosaccharide
Combine two, and make a larger sugar called disaccharide
The largest is a polysaccharide!

Lipids are the fats!
3 fatty acids with a glycerol make up the fats:
Triglycerides with only single bonds are saturated fats,
But if there’re double bonds they now become unsaturated fats
Don’t eat too much fat!

Monomers build to polymers filled
With C, H, O! Hey!
Molecule’s macro! Hey!

One with HO, other with H, so
Bond and go! Hey!
Release H2O! Hey!

Dehydration Synthesis is underway!!!

Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style
Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style
Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild!

Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers:
Molecules Gone Wild!
Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers!

Proteins: the building blocks that make up your whole body
Your skin, your hair, your muscles – need protein to get the hotties!
Break down polypeptide to amino acids in your body
Nitrogen comes to the party!

Nucleic Acids!
The famous one is DNA that’s known by all you kids
With 2 polynucleotide chains linked to make it valid,
Which breaks into single nucleotides when it’s digested;
Phosphorous added!

When you eat food, to get in the mood (to study),
Molecules will flow! Hey!
Straight down your throat! Hey!

Need to break those big polymers, so
Here’s H2O! Hey!
Splits to H and O! Hey!

Hydrolysis is what I just now displayed!!!

Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style
Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style
Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild!

Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers:
Molecules Gone Wild!
Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers!

Food deforms
Into its simplest forms!
When you eat it, break it down,
Then it reforms!

Now you’re informed!
So please study more!
Study, Study,
Read your notes and textbook

You know what I’m saying?

Molecules Gone Wild!

Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers:

Polysaccharides are long carbohydrate molecules of monosaccharide units joined together by glycosidic bonds. They range in structure from linear to highly branched. Polysaccharides are often quite heterogeneous, containing slight modifications of the repeating unit. Depending on the structure, these macromolecules can have distinct properties from their monosaccharide building blocks. They may be amorphous or even insoluble in water.[1][2]

When all the monosaccharides in a polysaccharide are the same type, the polysaccharide is called a homopolysaccharide or homoglycan, but when more than one type of monosaccharide is present they are called heteropolysaccharides or heteroglycans.[3][4]

Examples include storage polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen, and structural polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin.

Polysaccharides have a general formula of Cx(H2O)y where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500. Considering that the repeating units in the polymer backbone are often six-carbon monosaccharides, the general formula can also be represented as (C6H10O5)n where 40≤n≤3000.
