Omg thank you so much for this. These vids are a huge help. I like the way everything is explained. Do you have the powerpoints from your videos available for download by chance?
Hey, first I wanted to thank you so so so much for these videos. They are an incredible resource and I’m very grateful. I did notice a mistake in this video (or it might have been part 2): you said cellular respiration is a spontaneous process. But it cant be, because it requires energy to start (even though ultimately there is a net gain of ATP). At least that’s what my professor said. Have a nice day!
Hello :) Good question! So for this, you have to distinguish between individual components of cellular respiration and "cellular respiration" taken as a whole and represented by this equation: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + heat ΔG = −2880 kJ per mol Overall, cellular respiration is a spontaneous process, and you can tell because it has a negative ΔG (Gibbs free energy). Spontaneous is a thermodynamics term, and it means that the reaction has a decrease in enthalpy (total energy) and an increase in entropy (disorder). Those factors are part of the Gibbs Free energy equation ΔG=ΔH-TΔS. If ΔG is a negative number, the reaction is spontaneous. The -ΔG means the reaction releases energy (is favorable and spontaneous). However, while most of the chemical reactions of cellular respiration are spontaneous and release energy, some require energy to proceed. Like the 2 steps in glycolysis, where the spontaneous process of ATP hydrolysis is coupled to the nonspontaneous reactions to drive them. The reactions of hexokinase and phosphofructokinase would be nonspontaneous (positive ΔG) and are not favorable. Until ATP hydrolysis is coupled to them. That may be what your instructor was saying. Hope that helps!

Your voice is so soothing and relaxing 🤩
I could listen to you all day compared to my professor who I cannot understand
how does this only have 500 views this is literal gold
Yes! For every AP bio kid
This video is even better than my professor's lecture. Thank you, Professor S.
