Lipids are classified as one of the three important types of biomolecules to know (the other two, amino acids and carbohydrates, are already in our archives). Join us as we review the different types of lipids, from structural to energy storage to signal. You will learn how to recognize key lipids, as well as apply them in biochemical, cellular and orgo settings.

  • Out of all the biomolecules, lipids are the lowest yield. But, they are difficult because they can appear unexpectedly within the context of cell biology, orgo, and metabolism

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
