ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate

Introduction to ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate

your comment about taking it as a leap of faith really stuck me. I hated biochem for the main reason that i had to take everything in it as a leap of faith, and i didnt appreciate memorizing it. Thanks to your video i can finally understand it and not just memorize it and say it just happens. Thank you so so so much

Dude never stop making these, You're bettering the world. Please keep going with science stuff, It's the most important! us anatomy and biology majors need you!

dude i had absolutely no idea what my teacher was talking about and neither does my class u summed up her whole 1hr lecture in 13min and made it sooo much simpler THANK

[unintentonal]

This makes SO much more sense than what we've been learning in class. Thank you!

I wish schools implemented your way of teaching/learning and more professors taught like you; thank you so much, Mr. Sal & Khan Academy!!

[rabbit_holed]

Can't thank you enough. My Human Biology Professor is from Nigeria and has a very thick accent and reading the book can only do so much! Khan, you are my hero!

Awesome work ! I think all biochemistry teachers should see these videos before they get out there to teaching. This is how explanation should be and not to confuse students or try to make the subject even harder.

Finally, someone who can put all this together to make some sort of sense! Thank You!!!

i am in 9th grade bio, this helped so much. i love learning little tidbits like this. thanks for the lecture

[pretzelover]

You honestly have no idea how much you helped me. Thank you so so <3

I had to watch this for a moodle day for my biology class (Moodle is a system that my school is privilidged to use, and we take a day off of school [about every 2 wednesday of the month] and do all of our work online, and I will say, this man can explain all of this better than any of my teachers ever could, and I will say, I think anytime I don't fully understand any concept that my teachers try to explain, I will come here.

I always look up youtube video's to explain the shit my Biology teacher couldn't explain in a week. This video was very useful. Thank you for sharing this with us. :)

The electrons in ATP around the phosphate groups are being pulled in a bunch of different directions and are therefore in high energy states. When a bond between two P groups is hydrolyzed, the electrons in the P groups can drop down to lower energy levels (closer to the nucleus). When this happens, energy is released. The difference in energy levels results in release of energy.

Who knew it could be so simple? Thanks a lot, I'm not even taking bio anymore, but it's fascinating to learn about these things.

It took mu chemistry teacher 2hrs to explain this n i still didnt understand it. U explained every thing he did n 15 minutes and more clearly. FCK paying 3grand a semester you tube you are my new teacher.

[XboxTheBeatboxer]

This was exactly what I wanted to hear. Kudos.

[ThisisFit]

Thank you! Studying ATP for my Nutrition Coach certification and this really helped break down the information in a memorable way.

[PAlice]

Wow, wonderful!! I wish you were my teacher as well! Really great, clear, and explained simply :) Thank you!

[TheKainLord]

You're a good teacher, I wish you were in our school it would be so much easier to understand the biology

[cristalloe]

Really good explanation !! Makes it all make sense to me !!! If I had your videos I would have passed several more classes in school!!
