In and out, in and out. Staying alive is about doing things. This very second, your cells are combusting glucose molecules with oxygen to make energy available, which keeps you alive for another precious moment. To get the oxygen to your cells you are breathing.
Breathing is an answer to a very hard problem: How do you get the resources that your cells need to survive, from the outside, to the inside of your cells? Every living thing has to solve this problem and the solution is surprisingly different depending on one of the most important regulators of life: Size.

[DazzReviews]

If I had these kind of videos available as a kid, I swear I'd be waaay more into science early on!

[alexlange]

this channel is more entertaining than netflix

[thisisntsergio]

When he said "breathing is an answer to a very hard problem"

I felt that.

[bunsenn]

Kurzgesagt, the only show that can make bacteria look cute.

[purplehaze]

These are the happiest single-celled organisms I’ve ever seen.

[MC-]

Thanks... I need to breathe manually now..

[ultimategamer]

"Staying alive is about doing things."

I always thought I was dead. Now I'm certain.

[HiiImChris]

ive never been so proud of myself for breathing, my god im such a complex organism i'm impressed with myself

[SILVERSPADES]

Why is this channel so damn fascinating? This is how school should be

[lindanib]

I love it when he says "In a nutshell" it just completes the experience for me

[haydentakara]

Imagine you’re just chilling and a giant E. Coli comes over and engulfs you

[LocalChirpingInsect]

Fun fact: if you were to take someone’s veins and put them in a single string, you would be arrested

[QubitHQ]

"Staying alive is about doing things"... many of us have been dead for some time now then

[flyisgame]

kurz: _when you breath in_

*instantly breathes in*
"ah, i see"

[STAT]

Whale-sized bacterium: "I feel empty..."

Me too, squishy boi, me too.

[MissRae_]

As a Ph.D student studying microbiology, thank you for making cute animated bacteria. Might I suggest that you all do a video on giant viruses and virophages? They’re a relatively new discovery/concept but really interesting! Basically viruses infecting other viruses!!

[lelocaltherapist]

Can we just add that the narrator's voice has never changed.

[dreadfullyd]

“Staying Alive is about doing things”
Me: *Instantly Dies*

Edit : To the team, I think it would mean the world to say hi in the Reply’s. I know it would make mine. Have a nice life, and I hope you are all doing well during the COVID season.

Reasons I love Kurzgesagt
1. The Narrator. I swear if you fire them, I will strike. Well, probably not, since I love this channel, but still.
2. The Animation. Every scene is something to look at, it is stunning. Amazing job animation team!
3. The information. The fact that you all show your sources, while also make an easy to digest, animated, video. It is amazing!
4. The Availability. You could get this on Hulu or Netflix. No doubt. It could definitely be on Amazon Prime. But the fact you make this free shows how much you care about educating the world. And mostly the youth, you can't deny it.
5. The demographic. I am 13. I love watching these. My grandpa is 65. He loves watching these. You have made a series that anyone can watch and love.
6. The conclusion. I am going to say it right now. You are the new Bill Nye. Take your seat among the champions. Carl Sagan, Bill Nye, and Neil Degrass Tyson, just to name a few. I hope you see this, and you know that you deserve every subscription and more.
Edit 7. The Music. Check the replies to see who said it, but I totally agree. The music is amazing.
Edit 8. The Team. I can not stress enough how great everyone on this team is. Everyone only thinks about the Narrator and the Animators, but there are so many more people than that making each and every episode that we all love.
