Kinesin protein carrying a vesicle along a microtubule

Kinesin is a motor protein that plays a crucial role in intracellular transport by carrying vesicles, organelles, or other cargo along microtubules. It moves by converting chemical energy from ATP into mechanical work, "walking" step-by-step along the microtubule's filament. Each kinesin molecule has two globular heads that bind to the microtubule and hydrolyze ATP, allowing a coordinated hand-over-hand motion. This movement is directional, with kinesin typically traveling toward the plus end of the microtubule, ensuring efficient transport of materials to their intended locations within the cell. This process is vital for cellular organization, signaling, and function.

Every once in a while i remember how hard my body is working just to keep me alive and that fills me with a very unique and different sense of motivation from the usual short bursts. Thanks little fellas, I'm truly grateful to be alive.

"Why dont you give up?"

"Trillions of little things are not giving up to keep me *_alive_* "

Good job Sisyphus, may you always be a beacon of human perseverance.

Whenever you feel lonely, just remember you have these guys

[ashercecilio]

If your feeling sad, remember this guys are there for you.

[RanjeethMD]

We have an entire planet in our bodies.

[fehswqt]

The sight of billion little guys working to keep you alive fills you with determination ✨

[Pedro-San]

I know this is a render, but they actually make real-time images of these cells working, it's unbelievable!

She: Why dont you give up

Me: because he never did

[RodentMcGregorTheRodentMan]

Look at the way he walks! He loves his job. I support him.

[alistlesshowlfromtheether]

Man, look at that walk. You cannot hope to achieve this level of swagger

[ajpsnxxmkskillzxx]

Thanks motor protein fr. It’s always the little homies that do the most💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

[DOT-PG]

That’s why we should give these little fellas the right tools/food to work efficiently and effectively

[NOTFORMEMES]

"why dont you give up?"

"Because he hasn't"

How could this be made by random chance. The entire universe is extremely structured and complex. God is real, he is the only way such a complex and fine tuned universe could ever exist

For those who don’t know, these are simple protein robots that carry molecules inside your nerve cells into their nucleus, since some of your nerve cells can be up to 1 meter in lenght and stuff wont just flow in and out so easily.

These guys are what keep your nervous system functional, but they temselfs are no more alive than a rock.

Edit: Just noticed there is a much better explanation in the description. Thank you for it🙏 It’s so nice to see information about our world being teached in such simple places.
Edit2: Sorry for misinformation, these protein robots operate in all of your cells not only in neurons

Thank you to all the artists and animators who give us such vibrant examples of things we can’t see with our naked eye. It’s like getting a peek into another dimension whenever I see one of these.

[SteffDev]

Seeing how billions of cells work hard to keep you alive fills you with determination ♥

[DemetruisWilliams]

He's not making any mistakes. One stomp at a time, bro!! 🤙

[DillwithItt]

I love this reminder, that while we are at ends meet sometimes… our body will stop at nothing to keep us alive. That is a different kind of loyalty and motivation.
