Mitochondria: the cell's powerhouse 

Thank you for putting the title into a complete sentence!?!

It's also a quote from a videogame.

i get it, mr mane

@Kay Kay 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell

For real...

A lot of these knowledge survived great wars, plagues and fires. Soon it will endure the great AI replacement. *plays Terminator theme*

Even more years of evolution piled upon evolution

My biggest take away from this video - time/history is FUCKING VAST. I really started to contemplate the deep time it took for this to evolve natural. The billions of billions of billions of billions of billions of reproductions, virtually all of them failing but enough survive due to natural selection to create this symphony of nature. And, as you say, the amount of human knowledge and time spent gaining that knowledge condensed here is also staggering. Thousands and thousands of human life times of asking "why" and not accepting "god did it".

@@ross-carlson You are delusional if you think these extreme complex processes exist due to chance and time. You can see extreme and complex processes in nature like in time and space laws, gravity, seasons laws that are in perfect harmony with existence allowing these organic machines to exist as they do, things like eclipses which have the moon and the sun in the perfect size so we can see them from earth, or mathematics, where did math come from, was it created by chance? if you think everything in existence is made by natural selection you have more faith than I do.

Very: Psalm 139:14 - I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this.

@@mwils51 No kidding. God is one heck of a craftsman.

You have peer reviewed science that concludes "There is no God"? No, then your claim is baseless and you are showing how little you know about science.

They're very useful Bacterium

And to think mitochondria used to be living organisms, then evolved into mere organelles within other cells.

Me too. In order that i m studying frequencies by Rife and morphologic camp.

Uuuu ! 👍

Wasn't it also spinning in the wrong direction? Just watched a video on ATP. It was spinning counterclockwise to take protons and send them into the matrix

@Luca No You're the hero we need.

@@danthadon87 0💪💢💯

@@Bman-1970 I think it spins the wrong way in no markers, conspiracists, and flat earthers

same...

Think of an AA battery: it has a (+) pole and a (-) pole. The (-) pole wants to "give" electrons, the (+) pole wants to grab those electrons. The flow from (-) to (+) generates the energy that lights up a flashlight. The FOOD you eat is like the (-) pole: it has electrons that can be easily removed. The OXYGEN you breath is like the (+) pole: it wants to grab those electrons, badly (that's why it also rusts nails). The mitochondria is where electrons from food jump through a series of intermediate protein complexes with higher and higher affinity for electrons, and end up swallowed up by the oxygen you breath. That flow provides the energy that keeps you alive.

Alberto Molano thanks😊

You're welcome. I have always thought this is one of the most amazing discoveries in the history of science.

I never understood why we needed oxygen so desperately and in such great quantities and no one could give me a helpful explanation. After reading your comment, things clicked for me. Thanks! :)

Yes, and II helps I, III, IV do their function.

if ATP synthase came about by millions of failures to be this perfect and in harmony, all the other times it failed would not be possible because if it did not work the first time, the creature would not be able to live long enough to replicate for mutations to have a chance of occurring so it is impossible. It is like saying a human without a heart had children who then had 1/4 of a heart and their offspring mutated a proper heart which is impossible because if it wasn't perfect at the beginning, the creature would not have survived to be able to replicate in the first place.

I agree with you all guys. How can these complexes develop by chance even by natural selection? It is impossible.

@@ahmadrashid4853 nope. It used to work differently but it did work. You can get hints at how the older systems were by looking at more ancient creatures like the anaerobic bacteria. Yours is just like the classic "what use is half an eye?" argument, but we know it's not a bright argument. A simple eye can only distinguish between dark and light, it could be a sensitive surface appearing somewhere on the skin, but that's okay because that's already an advantage and the mutation will survive. Eyes have developed separately tens of times, and so did the different ways of distillating energy like ATP synthesis. The fact that now we're stuck with these organs and we need them to survive doesn't mean that it was always the case. Many creatures live without hearts and circulatory systems just fine, they'll just dissolve the nutrients in their body and that's it.

@@ahmadrashid4853 no, either the cell had some other way for energy or the small individual things like proton pumps randomly formed and there were millions of failed versions beforehand.

@@tacitozetticci9308 So where is mid stage ATP synthase with half a rotor missing?

What is it called?

The game is called Thrive

Thought so! He's testing you to see if you're paying attention.

Yes. I felt so good when I spoted (minor) mistake in HarvardX video.

Yes 🤯 and our feeling of being mind blown is assisted by those same mitochondria we just witnessed in this video rendering. 🤯 🤯 🙌

God has infinite wisdom and only he can do this.

🤣@@jesterflint9404

Nanomachines, son!

Essentially, yes.

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

me too

It's not that complex in fact. Watch some videos of this kind and then open some online book on the matter. It is mind-bogglingly complex in details and specific "bio"chemical reactions that make it, but the concepts are pretty easy to grasp. If you don't go beyond level displayed in this video, it's really simple since there's a whole giant scientific machine with it's explanation port open to you (producing said videos or pictures or drawings).

The ATP/ADP carrier is basically a wormhole. There's some understanding.

The reader makes it confusing.

@@raplopez4258 No Rob Lue is pretty good. It's just a complex topic. Hard 2 grasp.

Oh yes! Definitely....there simply is no other explanation to the question - what/who else but a grand designer could have made this process and is controlling these processes still...mind blowing stuff .

I'm pretty sure you guys don't understand probability or statistics

A magnificent designer would have made it much simpler...

the animated picture , are they real OR just imagination , for understanding purpose in our learning .

which means , this picture are not true , BUT for illustration purpose .

I was about to say this too🤔🤔🤔

My textbook confirms this. Complex II does not show protons being pumped. It only shows the accepting of electrons from FADH2.

Thats distinction betveen procariots and eucariots.

Small remaining portion of human genetic is located within numerous mitochondria. It is very unique organelles.

They made a video game based on this idea, parasite eve. Really good rpg for the ps1

Cells go around enveloping and eating other cells. Eventually a mitochondria was ate by another cell (enveloped) and it somehow survived. It then reproduced and thrived inside the other cell, living symbiotically inside the cell, helping both to survive. There must have been many other organisms that were enveloped that destroyed or harmed the cell, until one like the mitochondria survived and thrived and actually benefited the cell. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. This evolution allowed the creation of higher forms.. but the lower forms still exist and thrive...

@@rcchristian2 That’s exactly how I understand it. The mitochondria emitted oxygen for who know how many thousands or millions of years. This oxidized iron creating red mountains. That oxygen was later used by the aerobic organisms which pump out CO2.

It IS taking place underwater. Cells are full of water.

Really? How’s that?

@@jaymz1999 if ATP synthase came about by millions of failures to be this perfect and in harmony, all the other times it failed would not be possible because if it did not work the first time, the creature would not be able to live long enough to replicate for mutations to have a chance of occurring so it is impossible.

@@ahmadrashid4853 Nice word salad. Are you Starflight’s lover or pimp or something? You creating gods as an explanation for everything that you do not understand does not pop those gods into existence.

Don't you know? All things are possible through the magic time daddy. Have faith in the magic time daddy!

its useful for people who are visual learners

It didn’t evolve, it was designed that way buddy. You think something this complex could evolve into what we see today? That takes way more faith to believe that, and is mathematically improbable.

@@dividingword Naah, mate. I suggest you to read Chance and Necessity by Charles Monod. Interesting book. Also, humans are not capable of understanding how much time billions of years actually are. It is a reeeeeeally long time for things to happen by chance

@@mrniceguy4277 again, takes way more faith to believe in chance or happenstance than a guided process. I will give nonbelievers that, you guys sure have strong faith!

I have spent 18 years in college, and the deeper you study a topic in science, the more "chicken or egg questions (which came first) " ...you discover, the more you agree , with Einstein ..."everything is a miracle" from God! ....otherwise you are a fool that believes in assumptions (which evolution is based on), and assumptions is Not Science. True science is based on experimentation and the scientific method and Not "pet theories" , alias assumptions.

Hi Ellie, have you explored alternative/naturopathic medicine? I'd recommend visiting a thorough and highly skilled Naturopath/Naturopathic doctor.
