    In and out, in and out. Staying alive is about doing things. This very second, your cells are combusting glucose molecules with oxygen to make energy available, which keeps you alive for another precious moment. To get the oxygen to your cells you are breathing.
    Breathing is an answer to a very hard problem: How do you get the resources that your cells need to survive, from the outside, to the inside of your cells? Every living thing has to solve this problem and the solution is surprisingly different depending on one of the most important regulators of life: Size.

    Great video as always! However, let me actually answer the question in the title "How Large Can a Bacteria get?". In 1999 a non-phototrophic sulphur oxidazing Bacterium called 'Thiomargarita namibiensis', which translates into 'Sulphur pearl of Namibia' was found off the coast of Namibia. The Bacterium was measured up to 0.75 mm in size, which is large enough to easily see by the naked eye! Isn't this amazing?!

    • @amentrison2794
      @amentrison2794 Před rokem +9

      for anyone coming across this comment, the way that Thiomargarita namibiensis gets around the diffusion problem is by having a large vacuole in the center of it. So basically all of the cell's "insides" are in a layer closer to the surface of the cell, while the actual core of the cell which is harder to reach by diffusion doesn't hold any of the "important" stuff.

    One advantage of being too large for diffusion is that you can put up a thick wall all around you and only allow things in through a few tightly controlled gates. Our skin is basically an impenetrable wall to any invading microbe, covered in poison, while almost all our openings can be closed so we can be pretty selective about what gets in. This makes us a lot more resistant to infection than microscopic lifeforms since infections can get in anywhere with them so long it can trick the chemistry of the cell but we just don't have many living cells at the surface to be tricked since our skin is literally a pile of dead cells. It's like the difference between a rural village and Constantinople in terms of defenses.

    I've learnt so much Biology in a video of Kurzgesagt more than I learnt it at school, thanks Kurzgesagt!
    Life is a miracle, doesn't matter what's your size... tall or short, big or small. And we should be grateful for it.

    Edit : To the team, I think it would mean the world to say hi in the Reply’s. I know it would make mine. Have a nice life, and I hope you are all doing well during the COVID season.
    Reasons I love Kurzgesagt
    1. The Narrator. I swear if you fire them, I will strike. Well, probably not, since I love this channel, but still.
    2. The Animation. Every scene is something to look at, it is stunning. Amazing job animation team!
    3. The information. The fact that you all show your sources, while also make an easy to digest, animated, video. It is amazing!
    4. The Availability. You could get this on Hulu or Netflix. No doubt. It could definitely be on Amazon Prime. But the fact you make this free shows how much you care about educating the world. And mostly the youth, you can't deny it.
    5. The demographic. I am 13. I love watching these. My grandpa is 65. He loves watching these. You have made a series that anyone can watch and love.
    6. The conclusion. I am going to say it right now. You are the new Bill Nye. Take your seat among the champions. Carl Sagan, Bill Nye, and Neil Degrass Tyson, just to name a few. I hope you see this, and you know that you deserve every subscription and more.
    Edit 7. The Music. Check the replies to see who said it, but I totally agree. The music is amazing.
    Edit 8. The Team. I can not stress enough how great everyone on this team is. Everyone only thinks about the Narrator and the Animators, but there are so many more people than that making each and every episode that we all love.
