Cellular Respiration: Do Cells Breathe?: Crash Course Biology #27

You know ‘em, you love ‘em. They’re the powerhouse of the cell: mitochondria. They produce the ATP molecules that we use to do everything from talk to our friends to run a marathon. In this episode of Crash Course Biology, we’re taking a deep dive into cellular respiration, the process that produces the ATP inside of our mitochondria.

Chapters:
Getting Energy 00:00
Mitochondria & ATP 1:22
Cellular Respiration 2:29
Glycolysis 4:18
The Citric Acid Cycle 6:40
The Electron Transport Chain 8:17
Review & Credits 11:05

How classy to credit your student coming up with the currency exchange model. Sammy is a fantastic educator. Love this channel!

[holothuroid]

I had a great biology teacher, she was only marginally more unsuccesful in teaching me this one. This is a serious step up from previous episodes.

AMAZING the world we live in today with the opportunity to learn science so well presented on a platform known for entertainment. What a time to be alive! Thank you, Doctor Sammy.

Watched crash course videos from when I was in high school, through bachelors of science in undergrad, then through postgrad medical school and now here I am, back again for my ICU exams. thanks crash course !

[ScienceLe]

As a Biochemistry student I really enjoy watching videos like this.

[malkumify]

Ah yes, I remember having to stand up in front of my biochemistry professor, Dr Robert boyd, and explain in detail the citric acid cycle. He was the chemistry department chair, and he was a brilliant researcher. I learned a lot from him.

Im taking an Environmental Toxicology course right now. It gets EXTREMELY nuanced.

[RakinnYT]

It's Regents today and we start it in under an hour, thanks for this useful video!

[skybluskyblueify]

That "currency exchange" seems like it starts with wood and cotton and manufactures the whole bill rather than just exchange one currency for another. I love the metaphors and allegories you came up with.

[MrAlexs]

always amazed by the cycli of energy in our body

[chihiroxmiyazaki]

Bless crash course for helping me understand what my professor can't get through my skull ❤

[ssjblckgohn]

I was studying this topic I swear 😂.
Thanks, this video helped to make some additions to my note.
(New subscriber here. Love your videos)

[TheBitPianist]

I have been trying to find a video on this earlier today. Exam's in less than 2 weeks, just in time. Thank you!

[zeroamericanhero]

I really like this guy! I sense his passion and love for Science!

[oreokush]

You reviewed the material we are rereviweing and expanding on in my Environmental Toxicology course!

[Thaythichgiachanh]

Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨

The electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation was the topic of my masters work. I met Peter Mitchell. 😊

[ahchoo]

the mitocondria is the powerhouse of the cell

[joannabrown]

My energy cell aka mitochondria didn’t form properly. Therefore it’s like running on low battery for me 24/7. Weeks really like your videos. As I’m homeschooling we find these so fascinating and very informative

[TenzinT]

Absolutely amazing interesting topic. Greatly explained!
