I am from Australia ..
May i do this course .. and how hard is the exam. .I am not an educated person, I work as a Roadie (event set up for bands and other events) but would love an opportunity to learn some thing new.
Has the animator mistakenly shown Complex II as transmembrane instead of being part of the Citric Acid Cycle in the Matrix? I love the video. Just wondering if the mistake is on my part.
I would say that now, a key difference between biology and technology is stability at room temperature. You can turn off a computer and turn it on weeks later and it's still works. But you can't 'shut down' a living being, and restart them weeks later - their molecules break down and degrade, too fragile.
Outstanding work. Thank you for this magnificent legacy, Dr. Lue.
please remove the reality under the microscope. Show the real nature, not this fictional graphics.
I remember when I was studying biochemistry II in my bachelor's degree, desperately looking for a video on this on the night before the final exam, didn't find one and had to memorize it the old fashioned way, all I'm saying is that what you're doing is extremely valuable for a lot of students, best of luck.
Hello, I have a question for you. There is a news about a company called Solar foods, which apparently converts C02, h20 and electricity to make single celled proteins. I am a software engineer but very disturbed by the fact that I can't find anything about this. Wouldn't it be creating life out of soup or could the be just using microorganisms?
@@sortof3337 single-celled protein🙄
@@sortof3337 There's no such thing as a single celled protein. Proteins are macromolecules made of amino acids and they make up parts of cells, but they themselves aren't cells. Maybe you meant to say that they were designing a way to synthesize simple proteins?
Was thinking the same
There are single celled proteins which are being used by astronauts for their protein requirements. It is made by microbes like spirullina They have way more protein content than meat
Imagine a whole biochemistry book animated like this... I wish I'd be alive till then :'(
Not a whole book, but the ibook EO Wilson's Life on Earth comes very close. Same animators. More people should get to know of it. It is great.

RIP prof lue, this video is just one of many thousands of wonderfully helpful, selfless things he contributed to the world during his too-short lifetime.
the visual explanation really helps a lot.
This is just awesome. I'm 69 now and still doing paediatric nursing, but started my career in Pathology. I remember pawing through my Biochemistry text to sit exams and trying to memorise the Krebs Cycle, which is all part of this. But the process I did on a page that showed chemical energy utilised for cellular respiration has just blown right off the page. This visual takes me into a Mitochondria and starts to put the cycle into a visual sense. What a wonderful progression in knowledge we have.
Now lets not forget who we are and what a beautiful planet we have.

Learned all this stuff in grad school 40 years ago, but it was more like a concept, a chemical formula written on a page. To see it spring to life as an animated video is astounding. Thanks for posting.
i was simply struggling to get through it - and i hated it. but it was still something i wanted to learn later as it was a void. He found a way that i could visualize and understand it. This is teaching!
It's almost unbelievable how complex and precise life is. A lot of hard work to keep us alive.
Such a great, clear explanation! Videos like this remind me why I love biology so much. Life is amazing.
i was about to write the same thing!
This is amazing. It puts all these concepts we're inundated with and makes it more clear. As a visual learner, I wish there were more animated videos like this!

The animation was incredibly helpful in understanding the material. My mind tends to wander during lessons so the visual aspect was immensely helpful.
I watched this video 3 years ago for the First time, when I was studying biochemistry for the exam of the bacheloor degree. Now I've just re-watched it to review the topic at all for work, and it's gorgeous like ever. I think immagines and videos can teach better then thousand of a book's pages. Colours and animations are for me the best way to rember and put every feature in our brain.

I wish we could have had visualizations like this back when I was a pre-med student in the 1970's. All we had were acronyms, arrows, and line drawings. The best analogy I can come up with is a wrist watch - in my day we could look at the watch face but just read about what made the hands go around; this animation is like opening up the back of the watch and finally seeing all the gears and springs in action.
I studied this stuff in the 90s and the technology had barely progressed. I am in awe at what has been achieved since then. This is very, very important work.
Wow. Amazing how much progress and knowledge we are starting to have access to. Never saw anything like this when I was growing up.
What makes this video stand out is not just the breaks, but the respect for the student, BY GIVING US 5-30 SECOND BREAKS TO JUST RELAX THE BRAIN!!!! (*Cough to all you other science videos/teachers out there cough cough*)
This is incredibly amazing. It is also amazing that humans can figure this out -- very smart humans, that is.

I remember seeing this in my first year bio class, it blew my mind when I first saw it and it still does. Thank you for this!
This is easily the most clear-cut and visually useful aid I could find online to look at the ETC complexes 1-4. I can't thank you enough for this resource!
We can thank Drew Berry for pioneering the animation of this invisible world, his ability to visualise these subatomic processes has made these animations possible.
INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE! AND ALL OF THIS IS HELD TOGETHER BY DIFFERENCES IN ELECTRICAL CHARGES? JUST WOW…
We want animations like this really. They helps us to have a deep insight in the topics. Thanks
No other video could convey the concept that this video has conveyed. Best video ever, I'll never forget ETC ever again.
I may not be fully aware of what it took to put this information together. Yet, I love learning in this way and the visuals are mesmerizing. Therefore I would willingly watch several days worth of videos like this. Excellent! Thank you.
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
This is so beautiful. I've been looking at it for five hours.
I was searching for a perfect explanation for the ETC and couldn't find any. Came to CZcams and saw your video and was blown away. Thank you so much. It shows that it has taken immense efforts to create this amazing video. Thank you once again..
This is one of the most informative videos I have ever seen. Excellent quality. Thank you!
Great video. Haven't seen a better animation anywhere else. And very accurate too, with the exception of one small detail (which most text books also get wrong). FADH2 is not the electron donor to complex II, it is physically attached to the first protein of the complex (a flavoprotein). Succinate is the electron donor (CII is called succinate dehydrogenase) and CII oxidizes it to fumarate in the Krebs cycle, passing the electrons to it's FAD, and onward into the complex.
It's amazing you have such knowledge :D glad to know!
@@vitoria96634 Do You Difference between NADPH and NADH. Similarly between FADH and FADH2. my textbook is Using them alternatively... 😑
@@sunilnale Sorry this is 6 months late but to answer your question they are just two different electron carriers. For every NADH the electron transport chain can produce 2.5 ATP, whereas for every FADH2 the ETC can produce 1.5 ATP. Like @PheedPhil said, succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reduction of FAD whereas isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase catalyze the reduction of NAD+ in the citric acid cycle.

Respect to the masterpiece of the Creator, and the marvelous job of the makers of this video.
That is what leaps out at me, that this degree of complexity, not to mention the homochirality of the sugars and amino-acids, points to Creation by means of technology far more advanced than that employed by humans.
@Hemlock Cocktail Archeology is based on Science.
Archaeology has proved more than 50 people from the bible to be real.
EVIDENCE IS THERE YOU JUST HAVEN'T LOOKED FOR IT.
@Hemlock Cocktail Xin Chen was indicating that the electron transfer chain is evidence of design. The video narrator himself remarks twice the similarity to power plants. Those are designed by engineers. A consistent interpretation of the mitochondrial process would be that it was engineered. That's the argument.
That feeling when you read an offline paper book on Mitochondria and then CZcams recommends you this.
It's okay, youtube just enjoys listening to you breathe at night.

So I can actually harness quantum energy in each cell of my body, simply by breathing oxygen and my teacher said I'm no good at physics. That can't be right!
Very newly interested in biochemistry and it's amazing to see the similarity in the proton concentration gradient has with the mechanisms at play in silicon transistors!
This is one of the best animation video i have ever seen with such a great and clear explanation
4:26 - "a small amount of energy is released each time an electron is passed between redux centers" -- in what form is the energy released and stored?
Complex 1?
as i understand, its a physical conformation change of the protein (depending on which point the electron currently is) which allows movement or "pumping" of the protons into the intermembrane space. So the energy is stored via in the pH (electrical) gradient difference on either side of the membrane.
I don't think Randy's answer of 'photons' is right, the electron isn't changing energy states, its just moving along different atoms on a transmembrane protein ending up on the other side of the membrane, changing pH
see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiosmosis#In_mitochondria and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_phosphorylation#Electron_and_proton_transfer_molecules
Basically in kinetic energy in the protein complex, that then somehow pumps protons to the other size of the membrane. The energy is then stored essentially in the higher electron potential between the membrane and is harnessed by allowing the electrons to flow and create ATP. ATP is the final power storage that is essentially used everywhere in the body.
Look up the photoelectric effect first demonstrated by Einstein I believe.
@@marijnstollenga1601 the right answer , people who try to solve this with physics will get nowhere, but ,its not really kinetic energy either the molecule gets reconfigured
4:26 A small amount of energy is released? Energy in what form? How the complex harnesses this energy?
Beautiful. I wish I’d had this type of material from which to learn and review years ago.

Thank you for creating this video. As a software engineer, I've always been intrigued by understanding the intricacies of how things operate on a smaller scale. Your video also highlights how we often operate in our professional lives akin to machines, much like the mitochondria units showcased, and how this can sometimes obscure our awareness of the broader universe to which we belong. It serves as a reminder that we each have a unique purpose within this vast ecosystem.

HowToGainTime Well you get to Experience it !! Which is even better . of course some would have to be done in Slow Mo !! 😜
Thats the weirdest part to me... because if you were to shrink enough too try too see it up close, you wouldnt see anything, because atoms and molecules are almost entirely empty and dont really emit or reflect photons at this scale (only emits photons when an electron loses energy). Add to that that we see by having photons reflecting on surfaces. We basically see our world only because of the scale at which we operate as an organism. In short, at this molecular scale, ''seeing'' means nothing.
Animations like this is basically just like seeing the real thing for us hoomans, as its the only way for us to be able to interpret it and see it as something we can make sens of... if that makes sens ?

When the gradient is insufficient and the mitochondria no longer produce ATP, the cell can become starved of energy and -- become cancerous? Are not small amounts (~5%) of ATP always produced elsewhere in the cell by fermentation?

Depends on the organism. Some organisms aren't facultative anaerobes.
