3:16 Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. NOT Antoni von Leeuwenhoek. He was a Dutch guy, not a German. And certainly not Antoni Von Leeuwenhoek or Antoni Van Leewenhoek.
I had to change the neon sign outside my house from “I’ve always had mitochondria” to “I’ve never had mitochondria” and then I had to throw that sign away because it was inaccurate. I *had* had mitochondria in the past, I just didn’t have any in the *moment*.
It would be great to make a series on the most commons micro-organisms founds in our gardens. For those growing organically, the plants are growing thanks to the billions of micro-organisms at work into the soil, eating the organic matters on top and producing secondary products, available for plants as fertilizer. It would be extremely interesting to see those micro-organisms in action. I'm sure all gardeners would like it. I have not seen any video like that anywhere.
Not just garden plants. Humans and other animals, too. Seeds cannot germinate without Queuine, a bacterialogically derived chemical. Babies swim in amniotic fluid packed with the stuff, also. A modern chronic deficiency in it drives a lot of cancers and muscle wastage. I started researching how to make a protein powder or supplement to reverse muscle wastage in humans. I ended up tracking human nutrition all the way down through seeds, to plant growth, to soil bacteria. Still looking for a large source of the stuff. Plants, their seeds, and roots don't contain a large amount; not enough for supplementation. So I continue to dig.
Saw a video about a man on a hike, boulder rolling down hill towards him, he lifts it off and up and over. Deflecting it. Hulk style. It's thought almost all his ATP was burnt at once. Unknown trigger mechanism. He spent a year in a hospital, weak and helpless, before he slowly recovered.
Hello, I'm a huge fan of your work and I'm currently in the process of writing a book on eukaryogenesis and the origins of metabolism. With that said, I was wondering if you guys at journey to the microcosmos would ever consider doing an episode (or perhaps a couple) on the discovery of Asgard archaea, the E3-model, and the energetic bottleneck as described by Nick Lane and his colleagues. While giving a more nuanced take on primary endosymbiosis is a daunting task, you've all shown how science communication doesn't always need to come at the expense of providing detailed descriptions of evolution and cellular processes. Who knows, it might be a fun challenge ;)
I just wonder if they would have anything interesting to show while they were talking about it. It seems like a small operation and I doubt James has the resources to keep extant deep sea archaea like lokiarcheota alive in his lab
I'm a year late so this book may well be written, but the actual fossil record of Eukaryotes is actually pretty interesting. The oldest organism speculated to potentially be a eukaryote (to my knowledge) is Diskagma, a strange, terrestrial organism around 1 mm or so I believe. The earliest that I think are widely accepted are the 2.1 (or maybe 1.9? I think 2.1 is the latest estimate) billion year old possible algae Grypania and the 1.6 billion year old Acritarch Tappania. Of course, since you seem to be an expert on the subject, and probably know more about these than me, but I hope this was useful to you anyways.
I don't know anything about micro-biology but it's utterly amazing to think there is another world that exists within our own, and just watching these organisms (if I can call them that) go about their business makes me wonder 'what drives their behaviour? I want to thank you for sharing this amazing footage it just shows there is so much we have yet to understand.
It was once another cell but through millions of years of refinement it has lost the ability to independently reproduce, so it’s just an organelle now, left over from another cell. It’s got many features of prokaryotic cells but can’t really be considered a cell itself
I know I've seen that name applied to terrestrial isopods (pillbug, roly-poly, etc) but I can't find a reference. It seems to track with the description of a flat, multi-legged organism.
Leeuwenhoek likely meant a rolly polly/pill bug. They mention this in another video on this channel. Basically it's a very old Dutch word that was once used to describe this group of animal. No longer used from what I gather so the translation can be difficult.
One has to be careful when trying to guess the evolution of parasites. This clip should have mentioned henneguya salminicola, even if the channel is dedicated to microorganisms, since it matches closely the subject matter. And the animal is quite small.
i never realized that meme was poking fun at "useless information in school" but i love watching this channel so i guess it makes sense thatd go over my head lmao
I feel like this could provide a useful tool for the study of mitochondria, a transplanted mitochondria from similar relatives could provide a similar process to the first integration of mitochondria, easier said than done but life did it before. Maybe it'd work like the Pokemon daycare, drop off the two compatible parents and boom, an egg lol.
I was always wondering about this after studying Cancer and the importance of ATP and Mitochondria for its production and Apoptosis and a regulation of Calcium -Maturation of T cells
Were... were we looking at poop this whole time??? I'm sorry, but when he told the story about van Leeuwenhoek, I couldn't get it out of my head. Every time there were diplomonads on screen, I kept thinking, "Is that poop? Am I looking at poop?" And the large brown indistinguishable bits weren't helping. 🤣🤣 Awesome vid as always!
No one still uses the term "Archezoa" anymore because it is not a monoplyletic group. Mitochondria have been lost in various lineages including ciliates, euglenozoa, and even fungi. Oh, and yes, Diplomonads too.
The original Archaea was a goldfish. It had no real digestion, it just ate and processed what it could. Constantly eating. An alphaproteobacterium got eaten. That alphaproteobacterium basically was able to freely exist in the same environment as the goldfish food, but they were rarely (or never) digested. They attached to the inside like a remora. All the alphaproteobacterium ever did was produce as waste whatever the goldfish could most readily digest. The flagellum became vestigial once the pili are attached like velcro and directly integrate. Flagellum/pili becomes a docking station and the rest is history.
Basically energy production consists of 2 steps: glycolosis and then oxidative phosphorylation. Only the second of these steps requires a membrane, the first step always happens in the cytosol. The second step produces the vast majority of energy but also requires an oxidant, most commenly oxygen. So when there's no oxygen around only the first step is executed and the products that would normally go into the second step are instead turned into lactic acid or ethanol. This is called fermentation.
My brain just locked onto a minor issue and wouldn't let go when it was stated that microganrisms were "our invisible friends." They aren't really invisible but instead they are smaller than our normal perception is able to see. Wouldn't a better work be subvisable? If we talk about sounds we don't say that elephants make some noises that are silent, but that they make some sounds that are subsonic, to describe how they are lower than our ears can perceive them. In turn sounds too high for us to perceive are supersonic. Why does it seem that only when we talk about small things we might say invisible, when in fact they are just smaller than our organs of vision are able to perceive? I think I prefer subvisable as a much more accurate and descriptive term.
It's infra sound and ultra sound. But in your spirit, infra visible seems ok to me. (Supersonic means faster than the speed of sound, sub means lower than the speed of sound)
The given definition for invisible does say "not visible to the eye". So it doesn't necessarily mean something is never visible to anything, just to our eye. Not that they aren't real or don't happen because they're "invisible" to us. That's my take on it anyway but I see what you mean.
Yes! There are parasitic microorganisms that invade cells. A great example is Mycoplasma which is a tiny bacterium that lives in animal cells. It often contaminates cultures during research resulting in slightly abnormal behaviour of the animal cells leading the researcher to cry and revaluate their life.
I have a couple ideas. I heard dish soap stays on dishes in some cases and we eat the residue. Could you wash dishes in various ways and check for soap residue after they dry? Secondly, could you get two small things of milk. Both set to expire in 5+ days or so. One carton you open and pour out half the contents. The other you do not open. Keep both in the fridge until it's 24 hours past the expire date and check them both. Which would you rather drink?
Noticed we need to breathe more when more energy is available heat electricity to light. Maybe ATP is to make energy usable catching it storing it and releasing it
“Is the mitochondria the power house of the cell?” Me with a condition that means my cells are constantly throwing away energy and causing chronic fatigue: Absolutely not, please roast those lazy buggers
I have a small suggestion for the editing team of Microcosmos team. Please show us the real time video first before showing the slowed down of sped up version of the slides.
I've been using the image generator, and I LOVE it! 100 searches didn't take long. I tried to sign up with a third e-mail, but they require a non-voip phone number for verification, and only allow 2 accounts per phone number. Did you run into this problem while testing it out?
I just want you guys to know that this channel serves to re-enforce my awareness of the extremely horrifying nature of life, and humanities extremely violent journey to the top of it. Every time I watch it, I have an existential crisis. Questions like: - "Why are we made of cells working together" This show answers with: "Because the concept of hell that humanity has known for all existence is actually the ancestral memory of the micro cosmos coded into our DNA" - "Why do we fear death?" This show answers with: "Because technically we have never experienced death since the beginning of life, but it is everywhere and it looks awful" and my favorite - "What is pain? Or to be more specific, can pain in the world be reduced. Can it be measured." This show answers with: "All around you, at any point in time, is pain beyond measuring. Pain so horrendous, it is at its core, the existential dread of life of the organisms pattern itself screaming in protest over its own destruction. Since at no point in the existence of your cells, have any of them ever experienced death, the pain your experiencing is a multimillion year scream of horror. And its happening everywhere, all of the time. So no. Pain can not be measured, increased or reduced. Because every creatures death is technically an infinite pain. Just because you cant hear it screaming, doesnt mean it wouldnt if it could. Do not seek to reduce pain, but to make the pain have value." That last one I came up with when I saw that organism that punched a hole into the other and sucked out its insides. I do not begrudge the darker parts of our nature at all anymore, after seeing where we came from. It was necessary. I cant even watch the videos anymore, even though they are fascinating. The calm detached voice makes it worse somehow.
Wouldn't a "don't know theory" be more productive in trying to understand cells, since we continually get it wrong trying to link it with the theory we have. ....from Ireland.
If you continue to say "we dont know" you wont know what to look for or what part of a process to even investigate. This "best guess" is a result of hundreds and thousands of hours of work done by many passionate and brilliant people.
@@olekkowalewski8530 Agree, except they have the same theory now for 150 years to explain everything which they admit doesn't explain what they are seeing. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is not good. I mean if they said our theory might be wrong and admitted what they are seeing is crazy and amazing, they might begin to develop some new ideas on their approach. Someone suggested using engineering principles to understand the cells. Not using history, of "a long long time ago, far away" but looking for something immediate, happening right now, maybe quantum mechanics or the universe having an intelligence which we are only barely beginning to scratch of surface of. It doesn't matter how brilliant the people are if they are tied to a script which doesn't let them see beyond it.
Slowed down 400%? If you slow something down by 50%, it is at half speed. If you slow it down 100%, it is at a stop. How do you slow something down 400%? If what is shown is at 1/4 speed... well, then it's been slowed down 75%.
Think about it like this, when something gets slowed by a % it can be thought of "needing this many extra seconds to show what happens in 1 second. So a slowing of 50% would mean the footage requires 1.5 seconds to show what normally happens in 1 second. A slowing of 400% would then require 5 seconds to show what normally takes 1 second. A bit confusing but it makes sense when viewed from this perspective.
Yeah, that's probably what they meant, @@WallaWaller. But it's just another manifestation of the dumbing down of fraction. Instead of someone saying "one forth as large", they typically say "four times smaller" today. I hate it.
Do you know anything about their internals, @@robertlipka9541? Do you understand that natural selection _can't_ select anything that doesn't provide a benefit? What benefit did the inner membrane provide before there were proton pumps to create the proton gradient across it? And what benefit did ATP Synthase provide before there was a proton gradient to drive it? And ATP Synthase is made up of several proteins that fit together like finely crafted engine parts. But what benefit did _any_ of them provide before the whole thing was ready for action? If you have such deep abiding faith that mitochondria evolved, can you sketch out how that happened?
@@KenJackson_US what are talking about? My question was if rotifers evolved directly to current form? Or devolved? For example, tardigrades are miniaturized worms/relatives of insects.
Oops. I lost track of what you were talking about between messages, @@robertlipka9541. I was talking about mitochondria. Rotifers may have devolved from an earlier creation. But the belief that all life (including rotifers) evolved from a microbe isn't supported by the actual findings of molecular biology. Life was designed.
Is the use of "powerhouse" in the literal sense familiar to native English speaking kids nowadays? Does anyone actually still use that instead of "power plant/station" to refer to industrial facilities where electricity is generated? For the longest time, I only knew the metaphorical meaning (e.g. "China has become an economic powerhouse."), so the "powerhouse of the cell" sounded even less helpful... (In my school in Germany, we learned that ATP is the energy currency within the cell, so other, more unwieldy forms of energy like glucose have to be exchanged into it.)

So a slowing of 50% would mean the footage requires 1.5 seconds to show what normally happens in 1 second. A slowing of 400% would then require 5 seconds to show what normally takes 1 second.
A bit confusing but it makes sense when viewed from this perspective.
Yeah, that's probably what they meant, @@WallaWaller. But it's just another manifestation of the dumbing down of fraction. Instead of someone saying "one forth as large", they typically say "four times smaller" today. I hate it.
It's not the powerhouse of the cell, it's the FUEL REFINERY of the cell. >:(
Chloroplasts are the power house of the cell. 😃😃😃😃

“Is the mitochondrion” / “Are the mitochondria.” Please use words that match in number.
They look like little soot spiders!
Can someone summarize evolution of rotifers for me? Are they ancient, primitive animals? OR are they devolved/miniaturized more advanced animals?
They were created as is.
@@KenJackson_US i.e. they evolved as is?
Do you know anything about their internals, @@robertlipka9541? Do you understand that natural selection _can't_ select anything that doesn't provide a benefit?
What benefit did the inner membrane provide before there were proton pumps to create the proton gradient across it? And what benefit did ATP Synthase provide before there was a proton gradient to drive it? And ATP Synthase is made up of several proteins that fit together like finely crafted engine parts. But what benefit did _any_ of them provide before the whole thing was ready for action?
If you have such deep abiding faith that mitochondria evolved, can you sketch out how that happened?
@@KenJackson_US what are talking about? My question was if rotifers evolved directly to current form? Or devolved? For example, tardigrades are miniaturized worms/relatives of insects.
Oops. I lost track of what you were talking about between messages, @@robertlipka9541. I was talking about mitochondria.
Rotifers may have devolved from an earlier creation. But the belief that all life (including rotifers) evolved from a microbe isn't supported by the actual findings of molecular biology. Life was designed.

I wish you would label all the STUFF in these images.
Power station of the cell - because what the f*ck is a power house?
IDK...watching a Stentor eat is a little... horrifying. "Neat" lol
Ah, the romance of mechanized slaughter. Fun!
Symbiosis IO
Is the use of "powerhouse" in the literal sense familiar to native English speaking kids nowadays? Does anyone actually still use that instead of "power plant/station" to refer to industrial facilities where electricity is generated?
For the longest time, I only knew the metaphorical meaning (e.g. "China has become an economic powerhouse."), so the "powerhouse of the cell" sounded even less helpful...
(In my school in Germany, we learned that ATP is the energy currency within the cell, so other, more unwieldy forms of energy like glucose have to be exchanged into it.)
Good question. The word powerhouse is not used in regular English except in stereotyped phrases, and as a dead metaphorslike China being a powerhouse.
your ptbr dubbed title is wrong
well i mean the mitochondrion lies within the cytosol, so one could say its true for everything
