Together Harvard University and XVIVO developed this 3D animation journey for Harvard's undergraduate Molecular and Cellular Biology students about the microscopic world of mitochondria. The animation highlights the creation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) -- mobile molecules which store chemical energy derived from the breakdown of carbon-based food. ATP molecules act as a kind of currency, imparting chemical energy to power all the functional components of cellular activity. This piece is the second in a series of award winning animations XVIVO is creating for Harvard's educational website BioVisions at Harvard. The first program, Inner Life of the Cell, received international acclaim and can be seen both on our website and the BioVisions site.

At age 17 in AP Bio class, my teacher described the workings of the mitochondrion in great detail. I was enthralled by the descriptions of carbohydrate metabolism, how energy was withdrawn from it, and how a proton gradient powered actual protein "turbines" that spun as they drove the ATP synthetases. The mitochondrion inspired me to pursue medicine as a career. This video is a wonderous piece of work, a combination of artistic talent and scientific accuracy. It's EXACTLY how I imagined it.
Based upon your username, it looks like you've maintained that passion for medicine as a career. :) As a high school biology teacher, that makes me happy!
@@cynthiaaaa5204 i am also giving mbbs entrance exam NEET in India on 7th may i studied alot from 3 years
same my Biology professor teach this very deep with animations and slides in Cell the unit of life chapter
Yo, you are MD now man. Congrat
@@Flowerthe9big congrats to him
The Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
+Angelo Cantos FUNNY MEMES, XDDDDDD,
they look like trains or worms
Correct
Mitochondrion is singular. Mitochondria is plural. The mitochondria ARE the powerhouses of the cell. It's where oxidative phosphorylation occurs generating more ATP (cellular currency) from glucose.
I love to see that it was a meme already 8 years ago lol
WHY DOES THE MUSIC IN THESE VIDEOS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO EPIC?!?!
Try dubbing these videos with ST motion picture (entering the cloud) or wrath of Khan (genesis project) soundtracks ;)
haha I was thinking the same thing!!!
Life is epic
Because of the epicness
Epic music discribe a journey, it is a journey, is it not ?
If there were 3d animations like these for every subject in school I would just love to learn about them!
This is pretty amazing all around. A little Morgan Freeman could make this Oscar worthy.
@0:41 The bluish barrel-shaped molecule is a chaperone: chaperones help proteins folds into their correct 3-D conformation.
@1:11 Together, each rotating “tree” and the stationary part right next to it that keeps the top of the “tree” from rotating is one ATP synthase molecule.
@1:14 ADP (yellow-green) is binding to ATP synthase and then ATP (glowing) is being released.
@1:28 ADP and ATP are being exchanged through the membrane.
Thank you!!!
Found this gem during my studies into Mitochondria, ATP, and Glycolysis.
Amazing sub-cellular eye candy.
Mom's magical mitochondria.
Enjoy!
1:08 my favorite enzyme: ATPase!
I absolutely love the mitochondria! Without my mitochondria, my cells would be unable to do cellular respiration nor would function properly. My cells biochemical functions wouldn't work properly either. Perhaps its best to have my mitochondria.
a wondrous example of the complexities and phenomena of everything that is
I'm doing a report on mitochondria, and I absolutely love this video! I'm gonna share this with all my science geek friends. Thanks!
It's a good thing no labels or descriptions of what was happening were added to this, because people might start figuring it out. Good job preventing that from happening!
absolutely amazing. A mini factory working away 24/7 without us even noticing
@CalyxAsgard It's the powerhouse component of the cell, which generates ATP (the fuel currency of the cell) responsible for catalyzing various biochemical reactions. It's also responsible for cell apoptosis, among other things.
How fucking weird is this? When you think about it, it's like we're made up of some weird super advanced alien technology.
Austin Texas That's actually very interesting!
You think this is cool? Search for 'Motor Protein'.

"Scientists who utterly reject evolution may be one of our fastestgrowing controversial minorities. Many of the scientists supporting this position hold impressive credentials in science."
~Larry Hatfield in Science Digest
"I believe science is pointing strongly toward design. To me, as a scientist, the development of an embryo cries out, `Design!' The Cambrian explosion-the sudden appearance of complex life, with no evidence of ancestors-is more consistent with design than evolution. Homology, in my opinion, is more compatible with design. The origin of life certainly cries out for a designer. None of these things make as much sense from a Darwinian perspective as they do from a design perspective."
~John Corrigan "Jonathan" Wells (molecular biologist)
+brotherbandit It could be intelligent design, but it's NOT some bullshit "God sent his son to perform miracles and die on the cross" fantasy story that we made up thousands of years ago.
Unspeakably beautiful... any plans to add annotations identifying the key proteins, molecules, and ions to help us follow along? I know the basic sequence of events and I could recognize the obvious components (ATP synthase is pretty distinctive!) but it would be awesome to have a step-by-step guide to better appreciate this exquisite intracellular dance!
This is so beautiful. I wish I knew more precisely what's happening throughout - a voiceover would be nice.
I'm in tears. The human body is fascinating!!! Thanks to chemical evolution, coacervates, DNA, RNA etc. *---* We're all dust of the stars...
+Yuri lol Have you ever read about the Cambrian Period ? Ironically, how you typed from a non living thing(star) come ... the living things (animal, human). If it is chemical evolution then I suppose pain and suffering are chemical imbalance too ...
+Khanh Ly
true that!! it is so fascinating and fancyy
true just think about it we have trillions of nucleuses in our body
***** Please allow me to be blunt, evolution is a lie as well as 911, weapon of mass destruction, communists are evil, DDT & cigarettes are harmless.
Have u ever heard of Congenital insensitivity to pain ? As the name implied, the person doesn't feel pain, also is a very dangerous condition. In this world we're known & living in, one may be able to take pain away ( only temporary if you have $ ). Some might even minimized suffering through pleasure ... but soon or later they will come back stronger, hence requires bigger "doses" or painkiller and pleasures. Mind you, only one person ever live can help a person who has bigger pain, his name is Jesus ( Yeshua )
your profile picture is so aesthetic
0:35 I was in bio class today and my teacher had this on when we were in passing period, and that part where you go in is so cool with the music, it becomes to happy then with the guitar as it looks at the atp synthase stuff
WHY DOES THE MUSIC IN THESE VIDEOS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO EPIC?!?!

This is beautiful. Something so small does such a complicated work. I've just learned this in school (8th grade lol) and it's so fascinating. Some of the functions in our body are done on such a small scale it makes me wonder what a world exists below what our eyes can see.
The mind of the creator is big
I am studying the effects of HIV and the drugs used to treat it on the mitochondria. Since the Dr.'s think I'm too stupid to understand it I will find out for myself and pass it on. This is the stuff that completely defies any explantion that we were created by chance.
i love the ending part, it's so beautiful.
Wunderschön...
Sehr beeindruckend!
This is so awesome when you know what's happening. Sometimes being a Biology major is just plain cool
Just the phospholipid membrane looks gorgeous!!! Wonderful job!!!
@0:16 The worm-looking thing is a mitochondrion (plural = mitochondria)
@0:22 The strand is a protein and it has particles attached to it to keep it linear, so that it can fit through a protein channel in the membrane.
@0:24 The particles are released from the protein as it feeds into and through the protein channel in the outer mitochondrial membrane.
@0:26 The protein passes through the space between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes and then through the inner membrane.
animation, lighting, and rendering is of supreme quality and i enjoy watching this video.
I'm choking up, this is so beautiful! It really brings to life what we've learnt in molecular biology. Trying to understanding the complexity of cellular biochemistry is something I'm confronted with on a daily basis, and every time I find myself saying, "This is fucking insane!"
The mind of God is big
You/makers of this are...MAGICAL!
Thank you, great job. Wonderful presentation.
@AzraelUK1 That's an enzyme called ATP synthase. It's the very final step in converting sugars and fats into energy the body can use. It basically acts like a water wheel, using the energy of ions flowing through it to create an energy-rich substance called ATP.
i wish they could of showed me this in school instead of reading 20pages about how mitochondria works..... DAMN YOU SCHOOL
love it. makes anatomy n phisiology so much more entertaining
Gracias a videos como estos es más fácil comprender estos procesos e ir más haya de las explicaciones orales. Muy bueno(:
Watching this reminds me that we are magical beings. Beautifully done!
@MikeGinnyMD That's really cool. I'm in college right now studying Chemistry and Biomedical Science. I was hoping to get into medical school, but I don't know if I'll get past the dreaded MCAT! Worst case scenario, I have interests everywhere so finding a graduate program I like shouldn't be a problem. Right now I am taking Organic Chemistry, physics and cellular and molecular biology and I couldn't love my classes more.
This world is amazing~~
absolutely brilliant!!!!! thumps up. shows how exciting the field of biochemistry is.
Good video!! I've really enjoyed it
wow this brings all those bio classes to another level...
Wow! So good!! So good!! Cool video!!
thus far best movie i've ever seen, great job!!!
listened to this in school. LOVED IT!!!!
Too much of this Universe I can't comprehend. The sheer size of the Universe, I can't. This 1 cell doing all this work, than knowing we have something like 7 billion or 7 trillion cells in our body all doing this busy work 24/7 for what?... Too much..
Sencillamente IMPRESIONANTE ¡¡¡
I want a Mario game set in this world.
Sabbat-X you fight Virus Bowser at the end.
Super Mario Cell?
This was great, thanks, I have been researching "how to increase mitochondrial count" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Miyason Mitochondria Masker - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy got great results with it.
This is so awesome!
That was Brilliant.
Best of luck to your in the rest of your education and career! We need more people like you in the US!
wonderfully made
Would be great for someone to do a voice over to explain what it is that we are seeing. Thanks
THIS BLEW MY MIND
Damn this is beautiful.
Wonderful... nature is so beautiful!
This is SSSSSOOO cool!!
Thank you for the efforts and for sharing this helpful information :)))
This is fantastic!
Cool video. it looks so real.
The Wonders of Creation Reveal Gods Glory!
Amazing video! It would be nice to have some narration though. Keep up the great work!
WOWWWW... that was amazing.
Beautiful video! How close to reality are the textures and movements of the video to what we understand them to be in real life?
woow !!
Seeing bioscience through understanding become engineering. Gives us hope. I just love the molecules as machines graphics. It would be nice to see the energy enriching process with annotation or commentary. Not just glowly graphic.
Thanks for explanation
truly amazing!
Amazing. Thank you!
Superb
wow, amazing! I love it
Amazing animation.
Well show. Good information.
awsome video it's very beautiful. This is very graphical for understand the biology of the cell. Very great job.
There's a mistake. The c-ring should be rotating clockwise (looking it from the cytosol) while synthesizing ATP.
no, that's a cell from a left-handed person
que perfeição !!!
It looks like a machine. A bit freaky actually. But also extremely beautiful at the same time.
Beautiful
I would enjoy seeing a narrated version of this. As wallpaper it's very compelling, but it would be nice to understand what we're seeing.
amazing video I love biology
WOW! I freaking love it.
just awesome !
Is there a narrated and annotated version of this video? I'm not asking for David Attenborough (but if he's into it...)
That mitochondrion reminded me of a CCS-class Covenant battlecruiser from Halo 1...
Visual with Music makes us interested in science
The glowing particles are ATP and the turning protein cranking them out is ATP synthase. The particles turn from a green color (ADP) to a glowing color (ATP) with the addition of an inorganic phosphate.
How can we not like it? It's my favorite too!
Wonderfull! This is the art of the nature! Who can imagine the hard and incredible proceess that Mithocondria's do?
Sorry bad english XD
The body is indeed a marvelous micro apparatus
That is pretty sweet graphics, i wonder what type of software they used to make it?
a real beauty !
What effect does exercise have on your mitochondria count per cell?
Informative, thank you.
awesome...
Note the Supported by the Howard Hughes institute at the end...these guys don't depend on government whims...the on and off faucets of conservative government (stem cell research etc.) So, they deserve our highest rating...and deepest bows.
its amazing that every part of protein can helps the cell to live.....and to form to a greater structure.... and into an social organism
I'm taking biology in college and was about to cry because nothing I was reading made sense! After seeing this and other videos showing what's happening in 3D, I think I'm starting to finally get somewhere 😭
This looks soo Beautiful :) of how ATP goes to ADP :D and Electrons,Ions,ect...
great video!
beautiful!
thats amazing
