Metabolism and ATP

How does your body break down the food you eat to generate the energy you need to get through your day? What form of energy is this, anyway? Let's go over some of the basics of metabolic processes, and introduce ATP, the currency of cellular energy.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

This is way easier to digest than my lecture, thank you chemistry jeesus.

Thanks, Your unique way of explaining complex topics in such a simple way is really helpful. Please upload more videos in this ATP series.

Just to clarify, breaking the phosphate bond is an endothermic process, ie it takes energy, not releasing. Bond forming is exothermic because you are going from higher energy to something normally lower in energy. Thus, the hydrolysis is what is producing the energy, but via the bond formed.

it took me hours reading textbooks about ATP and I didn't understand a word.. but I watched your 4-minute and I got it all!! thank you so much. I subbed btw.

You teach so clearly and great! I'm just at the second term of Health science bachelor and my native language is not English and i really needed a source like your channel to better understand biology and chemistry! Thank you so much

omg that part about thermodynamic principles governing these reactions. I've been wondering about that since forever! Thank you Professor Dave!

I have learned about ATP on a Biological level several times and never understood it, after watching your organic chemistry series and now this series it is like I can relate everything in life to these things! I love it! Thank you Professor Dave

Have a paper go do in few hours and he just simplified my 200+ slides of biochemistry.... ❤ thank you Prof Dave 🙏🏾🙏🏾 ....

Excellent videos, how come you don't get more attention? Please don't stop

Doing Keto & Carnivore diets so learning about metabolism. Being an Ancient Greek teacher, I am amazed at how many of these words come from Ancient Greek.
βιος
συνθεσις
συνθετικος (from verb συντιθεμι)
μεταβολικος (from verbs βαλλω, μεταβαλλω)
αναβολικος (from verb αναβαλλω)
καταβολικος (from verb καταβαλλω)
θερμος
δυναμικος (from verb δυναμαι)

You are a great teacher give highly concentrated high quality knowledge facts & sciences. Thank you very much.

[mukizacalvinjunior]

L like the way you explain your work for me to understand

[shabnam_sajida]

In chemistry we talk that breaking bonds require energy and it's an endothermic reaction .Then why breaking the bonds between phosphate groups releases energy here?

Thanks so much Prof. Dave
My exams was super successful ❤️❤️

During 3:18-3:24, what do you mean by "the energy can be converted into the energy needed to promote a reaction"? Great video as always...let's get him to 100K subscribers people!

[caianalexandrens]

your videos are very good! I really like the way you teach. I'm looking forward to watch the rest of the videos

Cheer~~~the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.😊

[hawam]

Q?
When ATP changes to ADP+Pi in biochemical reaction we count it as one ATP consumption, and when ATP changes to AMP+PPi again we count it as one ☝️ ATP consumption!why?what is the difference between their energy releasing?

[curtpiazza]

Ties in Orgo concepts and physics....great!

Thanks!! This is such an awesome video!! Super helpful! Thank you so much!
