Hey, "But Why", I know that you're getting less views for your this quality content(s), but please never stop uploading, I love your channel, I watch all of your videos, I learn so much from this channel which I wish I knew in my school days. Power to you. Praying that you soon reach 1 million.
I appreciate that. I don't plan on stopping. However, I've been moving around lately and starting research at a new institute in a new city so I think the time between videos will get stretched out a bit.
Came in to learn about photosynthesis, left with the best explanation of the second law of thermodynamics I've come across. Still left with a great understanding of photosynthesis
Well, nature had 4 billion years to perfect that, and we've been building automated factories fo less than a century. Who knows what we'll be cable of in another hundred years. For me, it's more remarkable, that we managed understand that in the first place.
@@laierr True, but compared to factories it still is a rather cack handed way to store energy; why not use that excess light energy to shove electrons into a storage medium directly into an electron deficient system? Unless the ultimate ''goal'' is to increase entropy within the whole system as quickly as possible, into as many parts of it as possible; while keeping the entropy dumpsters going as long as possible.
Plants are not actually very efficient at converting light to energy (3% at best). But well, I just recently cut down all the tree and branches to give way to my solar arrays.
I’m sure this has been said many times before, but the visuals in these videos are absolutely spot-on. They’re both brilliantly explanatory and beautifully made. Thank you ❤
Photosynthesis is such a disgustingly/beautifully messy and complex set of biochemical reactions, jeez. Us non-producer organisms sure have it easy at least on that front, lol. Thank you for shedding light on that topic, I had to rewatch the summary of the video five times but I managed to grasp it thanks to you!
"Non-producer" is not quite right. While we don't do so internally, we have developed external processes to harness the energy of the sun that are around 10x more efficient then photosynthesis (solar panels). We even have processes to extract energy from rocks stored by distant long dead stars other then our sun (nuclear power). So as an organism, we aren't *quite* so unproductive when taken as a whole.
Best hilariously ironic thing in all of molecular biology is the fact that the first protein electrons enters during photosynthesis is called “photosystem 2” and the second protein the electrons enter is called “photosystem 1” This hilarious naming mixup was caused because “photosystem 1” was discovered and named before “photosystem 2” was. So the name was already established and couldn’t be changed. Always found this little factoid funny.
I very rarely comment on videos but I can't help but exclaim how underated these videos are. I had never even thought it possible to intuitively understand the Calvin cycle until I stumbled on this very channel. Wishing you the absolute best on this platform.
It's nice to get a somewhat understandable explanation of EXACTLY how the process works. I got lost after halfway through process 1 (strange that 2 is first)
It's always nice to come across a channel that doesn't constantly bombard you with the, "Smash that Like button. Leave a Comment and don't forget to Subscribe to the Channel" We know how TH-cam works. We just wanna watch the video.
Hold on a second...you're telling me...plants use an exploit in Quantum mechanics or something? This channel is fucking amazing. You've earned yourself a sub, this is my 5th video and I can't stop watching and I flunked Highschool Chemistry hard dude.
There's actually a TedEd video about the Calvin Cycle which does a great job at explaining how the regeneration of RuBP works. Granted, it's a little cartoonish, and you don't get proper chemical structures, but the explanation itself is pretty clever.
I just discovered your channel and I’m in love haha, the animations are just perfect, the way I literally closed my eyes or zoned out for minutes while reading my science textbooks just to imagine all the diagrams in movement and all this processes and you’ve animated them just like I imagined them! I hope you get recommended more and more, this is the best science channel ever!
You are a master at making compelling 3D visual explanations of complex subjects dude. Best of luck with this channel and your research :) i've subbed already
I wanted to cry @9:13 when he said "no one wants to explain this step" ... Dude I've been searching on YT for a week now and only this video managed to explain to me why it's not included.
I read 3+646/1000 and thought he is commited if he gets partial views. Then I realized you are probably from a country where the comma and period are switched for numbers and that was 3 thousand and 646. Not as fun but more likely.
Most of this video went way past my head. I love learning… I yearn to know about everything and I don’t understand why. I did not receive a formal education. Barely went to elementary school, then got my GED in my mid 20s. I’m so pissed that I didn’t have a proper opportunity to learn about the things that excite me, similar to the way those electrons were excited by photons. I am a gypsy and school is not encouraged with my people. Maybe... just maybe, I could’ve made something of my life. If anyone is reading this that is undecided, learn as much as you can but, remember that without a degree, it’s all for not.
Absolutely amazing work, so deep and clear narrative that does not underestimate viewer, you really deserve 100x subs & views.. I can't imagine how much work you must do to create even single part on one video!
I have NEVER seen an animation as incredible as this to explain a biochemical process. This is absolutely astonishing! May I ask - What software did you use? I'm starting to learn animation for educational purposes and this here is a masterpiece. Thank you so much for your content.
I love this channel, because it connects what we learn quite abstractly (Physics & Chemistry) with the real world. Always had an interest how the real world and quantum world work together
Been watching your videos for some time. But only now I actually wondered how many views and subscribers you have. And oh my god was I surprised! I couldn't believe my eyes! I like education channels like yours, but only your channel managed to properly explain relativity and gravitation to me! That was a huge revelation! And after that seeing you with only 59k subs makes me feel really sad! I hope the time will soon come for your channel to blow up with views and subs, because you somehow manage to explain everything in a way that leaves no question based on poor understanding! All the best to you! Keep doing that good stuff!
It is the starting point for almost all energy of all living things on Earth. The only other sources are radioactive decay and thermal energy from core of the Earth its self, which is maintained almost exclusively by radioactive decay.
so, its not just making O2 and sugars.... it is literally ripping hydrogen atoms apart into protons and electrons. and then using those protons and electrons to make sugars, and oxygen is a waste product. pretty awesome. thank you for this explanation.
Awesome video, the animation and editing makes it easy for those easily distracted to follow. Not that I have that problem but still. Lovely, keep going and you'll be able to educate millions in a not so distant future. Liked and Subscribed.
Its mind boggling that nature through millions of years of evolution can create such complex and delicate processes. The human brain is probably the most complex systems nature has ever created
To get a good, basic graso of the Calvin cycle, I recommend Ted-Ed's explanation of the Calvin Cycle to see how the regeneration is done and the numbers involved.
I studied biology in high-school and always loved it. photosynthesis was hard to gasp but interesting nonetheless though lately I've come to admire chemosynthesis studying how this organism work could lead us in the search for extra terrestrial life even terraforming in otherwise inhospitable planets.
This is like million subscriber level content quality. Youll be as big as scishow, animal logic, professor dave and minute physics before you know it if you keep it up. Just do a clickbait, dumbed down concepts video once or twice a year to get average people hooked.
Am I the only one who sees a similarity between photosynthesis and the firing of neurons or other nerve tissue? I mean, even the shape of the pigment molecules reminded me of the shape of a neuron. Couldn't you argue that both processes are using electro-chemical potentials to do work? If I am waaaaaaaaaaaay off base with this observation, I would love to hear from someone who can explain where my train of thought is flawed. Thanks, and I love your content But Why? That question has brought me so much joy and my friends, family, teachers, co-workers, supervisors, managers as well as strangers on the bus, so much abject misery 😅 Keep up the great work.
@@ButWhySci Oh my ! I already had a huge huge respect for you & today you raised it even further ! God bless man ! Cheers to your work ! Edit - I'm a big fan of you ! 💯
So basically plants use light to crank power a complex protein clockwork machine, that turns plant food and water into whatever wizardry the ATP are and some leftover molecules to make sugar
Wait, I don't get it. If the antennae already absorb electrons from light, and these already go to the reaction center of Photosystem 2, why does the plant need to split water? EDIT: wait nevermind i realized that the light only gives a photon, not an electron. whoops
1. The photons get absorbed by the electrons 2. They are what makes up light, so they either come from the sun or the light bulb 3. Photons are not atoms; they're bosons

Came in to learn about photosynthesis, left with the best explanation of the second law of thermodynamics I've come across. Still left with a great understanding of photosynthesis
I'm just trying to comprehend it lol
It's remarkable to have a feeling that every cell of usual leaf is more sci-fi accurate automated factory than humans still probably have ever built
Well, nature had 4 billion years to perfect that, and we've been building automated factories fo less than a century. Who knows what we'll be cable of in another hundred years.

Photosystem 1 was discovered first, even though it is the "second" step in this particular chain of events.
"biologists", they name things in a weird way..
absolutely fascinating. i really appreciate how you get right into the subject and don't waste time in some "set up" for your topics.
This. And every process is incredibly well explained in a short period of time for anyone who doesn't study cellular biology

We just wanna watch the video.
Most biochem students have Kalvin cycle-induced PTSD.
That guy: I wonder why they omit that?
That guy loves learning more that those biochem students, and is more curious about processes like that
Finally, somebody to give me a good explaination, not the usual "plants take light and make good air", keep at it
I didn't expect this amount of details. Very interesting video!
WOW. I don't think I've seen such an easy and digestible explanation of a photosystem. Even in college intro biology, we just leave it at photosystem.
"Easy"
Or maybe I'm just distracted because I'm eating Doritos

Well plants sure seemed simple at first.
Antennae of photosystems are embedded in the lipid bilayer, not sticking out on "special membranes"
