08 The Electron Pair Bond - Molecules

Molecules are compounds of non-metal atoms. But how does the bond come about? They cannot give up or absorb electrons completely, because both partners want to have more. Using the fluorine molecule as an example, the electron pair bond is explained with the help of the energy level diagram. Origin

Endogenous Cannabinoids

When there is a chemical imbalance in the body, such as during stress, endocannabinoids are released. They bind to the matching receptors, regulating the activity of the nerve cells. This allows the body to counteract the imbalance. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/J. v. Kalkreuth/M. Richter-Jähring/D. da Cruz

How DNA Replicates

This narrated animation from Interactive NOVA: "The Secret of Life" shows the double helix structure of DNA and how the molecule replicates. The segment illustrates how DNA "unzips" to form templates for the new strands and how complementary nucleotides bind together like the rungs of a ladder. This
