If P680 acts on only the 680nm light, what about the blue light, and other wavelengths?

I enjoyed this however I would strongly disagree that 78% Nitrogen is useless for life. You don't want a 100% or even 70% Oxygen atmosphere, that would be a disaster, everything would constantly oxidize and go up in flames, not to mention all the radicals that would be formed and mess with our biology... Therefore having an huge amount of an inert gas in the atmosphere is actually quite useful.

Neat stuff to say the least...thankz for sharing❤

Tobias ERB has found a way to synthesize sugars from carbon dioxide and sunlight, without chlorophyll. The process is much faster. Cai, Sun , and Mu. Have recently done the same thing with starches We’re gonna need an update

I’m so glad I ran into this channel. we are in the early morning of the golden age of biotechnology and nitrogen. Fixation has been the holy Grail for about the past hundred years. I’m getting excited I think we are close to learning the whole process What an incredibly important discovery that will be! I’m keeping a watchful eye on corporations, like deep branch, and Novo nutrients 😅 People should be dancing on the streets already because Tobias

What if you don't eat carbs and eat lets say, meat instead?

Amazing video. I'm Excited for season 2. 😊

I really hope this channel will come back. The videos are amazing

Where is the photon????

please come back making videos

Thanks

I was left to believe that hydrogen doesn't float around our body and cells freely , but that it was rather hydronium (H30) that carried around that extra proton to toss it wherever it was most needed or welcomed.

I need to know how to boost that F0 motor. Need to increase my 0.3hp to 1.3hp. Do we have biological-equivalent to a NOS or turbocharger? Gotta spin it to 20000rpm for moarr powahh

For real though, why is your website not archived? All of this high quality work, lost to the world? If it was a paid service I'll buy it but omg don't let it get lost

Boggles the brain to think how something like this evolved, like what was the first accidental protein that got together to form the first part of the engine. And actually worked in concert with all the other systems. Equally mind boggling is how anyone worked out all this stuff, like how would they know what’s happening at molecular level in such detail without being able to see it in action in a live cell.

Never seen your stuff before, Mr C Lockwork, so: I like your animation here- nicely illustrating a tricky process AND satisfying to watch endlessly. WELL DONE! Ah ATP synthesis... at school we did cover basic organic chemistry and I was caught by its glamour: the shapes and structures and logic of giant molecules: wow! Sadly when choosing exam courses for O Level I had to make a CHOICE and so dropped all 3 sciences to make room for all the subjects where I was sure of high marks. But always stayed a science freak in my bones!

❤bio so much

I randomly discovered this channel and every video blew my mind. It's seriously insane how random molecules fit together and make extremely specific tasks work so well....it kind of redefines the definition of consciousness to a whole another level As a kid i was so obsessed with science that i used to wake up till 3 in the morning just to catch an episode of curiosity by Neil d tyson. The videos in your channel awakens that same childlike fascination in me 🥰

Nearly all life, as you mention, there are some chemotrophs. Also, physicists have given up on conservation of energy.

Could you add a little explanation for the smooth brain conspiracy theorists who think the government is trying to poison them with fluoride?

Just found your channel and I’m in love! Thank you for what you do!

The same power plants that run our video games also run hospitals and water purification, without which our society would almost definitely collapse. Even if you're just watching this video, you can still appreciate that it's there to give you the energy for what *ever* you need it for. <3

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY THING

CAN YOU EXPLAY SOMETHING????

Not me crying. Thank you for these videos.

I wonder what our atomic composition is on a dry basis

Thank you for the description and explanation of the amazing ATP machine. I too find it awe inspiring, and brilliant design comes to mind. This is where the quiet awe is meant to lead us. Billions of years would never explain something like this, and there are many such nano machines. Ask the chicken or egg questions ... this is where it should lead us. A nano machine would never ask the questions 🙂 Further to your point at the end, the One who designed us cares about us because He is much more than we are ... the Great I Am. Check Him out.

it's just absolutely incredible how a bunch of hydrogen gas gathered to form the first stars and those stars created all the heavier elements and then those elements ended up in planets and then this planet absolutely absurd amounts of conditions had to be met for life to even begin, and then to get from single celled organisms to people, and then the people getting smart enough to figure that all out. wow.

REDOIT. COME AGAIN BUT EXPLAINING ARE YOU TA TELLOMERES?

I am so glad I found you

So I tried to Google and was unsuccessful. Where does adp initially come from in the cells? Like yes it comes when the phosphate group is split. But where did the original adp come from to be made into atp?

I just need one more life? ... now, I can get it right this time. Telomerase me!

Hi @Clockwork! Your content is awesome. I find it engaging and informative! I also really like the animations you use in your video. I was curious, What software do you use to make them? Thank you for any time and attention that is provided to this comment!

This whole issue of DNA replication being unable to copy that last bit of the chromosome ultimately exists because we eukaryotes have linear chromosomes. Prokaryotes have circular chromosomes, and in a circular chromosome there is no problem, as there will always be leading DNA for those RNA primers to stick to. DNA replication almost certainly first evolved in proto-prokaryotes with circular chromosomes, so this issue of DNA loss with replication would not have come up. When the first eukaryotes emerged after their two bacterial and archaean ancestor prokaryotes merged, somehow the original prokaryotic circular chromosome got chopped up into multiple lineage chromosomes, giving rise to this problem. The whole system with telomeres and telomerase was a kluge that early eukaryotes came up with to deal with the new problem. This may also be one of the reasons Eukaryotes have a lot of junk DNA, while Prokaryotes don't. Because telomeres are basically a type of junk DNA that happens to exist at the end of chromosomes, and very likely evolved out of the same mutational mechanisms that produce certain classes of junk DNA, and the telomerase gene very likely a descendant of a type of selfish parasitic jumping gene that produces junk DNA as a byproduct of its activity. The same mechanisms that prokaryotes use to identify and remove junk DNA from their genomes would very likely recognize telomeres as junk and remove them too, so eukaryotes would have had to turn them off/decrease their activity to avoid losing their telomeres prematurely.

iirc, there is another bit of cellular machinery that is essentially ATP-synthase, but running in reverse, with more or less the same or similar subparts all doing more of less the same thing. It's a proton pump that consumes ATP to pump hydrogen ions through a membrane against the existing concentration gradient. There is also the bacterial flagellum motor, which uses the energy of a proton gradient and/or ATP to spin in a similar way, except that the other end is attached to the flagellum filament instead of an enzyme complex that synthesizes ATP, so you get a spinning flagellum that can push or pull your cell around in the water like a boat propellor.

thank you

Wow! Thank you!

Did this guy DIEDED? 3 yrs since his last video. That was such a disappointment because this video was really really awesome. One gotta luv bchem, my man

Please make more videos!

Only Calcium Fluoride strengthens and protects teeth not the industrial version Sodium Fluoride! There is no safe minimum dose of elemental Fluoride! I suggest redoing the video after more research.

This is so beautiful.

death is part of the process of life. only the species is forever, to evolve forever

"Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun" - M. Burns

Woah, so does this mean, like, when we eat animal cells we breakdown the stuff from it (some of which will include the animal cell's ATP synthase itself), that we are powering ATP synthase with Atyp synthase????

Biology really is wild nanotechnology.

So obvious I read about it all the time but not many people know

The idea that humans are somehow an anti-natural force is by itself dehumanizing and arrogant. Life cycles and the universe have destroyed the ecosystem multiple times. Humans are not special of that. We do have a responsibility with earth, but destroying earth is not more or less natural than changing it in any other way.

Since the cochlea is a kind of a resonance chamber I'd rather expect the brain to evaluate the sound pitch based on the emerging chladni patterns rather than specific stereocilla, as this would probably end up in perfect pitch being common phenomenon of a human hearing. The question here tho is what the source of the pitch recognition mechanism, and whether it is properly verified experimentally. Let's crank some numbers: cochlea is roughly 3cm long and filled with a water based liquid (99%) sound speed in water = 1481m/s ~ 150000cm/s cochlea may be treated as a one-side opened tube, which would resonate at 1/4 wavelength -> 150000 / ( 3 * 4) ~ 12.5kHz which would suggest that around this frequency the stimulation pattern of stereocilla is static and rather the ones near the membrane are waving...

The universe is, at least, mind-bogglingly huge. At worst it's literally infinite. I always think it's funny when human beings claimed that something is the biggest, most, least, Etc in the universe. If the universe is just vastly huge, it's extraordinarily likely that there are many things in it which are actually more or less than the superlative you conjectured. If the universe is infinite, there are an infinite number of things which are more or less than the superlative you conjectured
