DNA, Hot Pockets, & The Longest Word Ever: Crash Course Biology #11

Hank imagines himself breaking into the Hot Pockets factory to steal their secret recipes and instruction manuals in order to help us understand how the processes known as DNA transcription and translation allow our cells to build proteins.

My biology exam: "Describe the processes of transcription and translation"
Me: So hOtPoCkEtS...

[colossaltitan]

"Hey what's your WiFi password?"

"It's on the back of the router."

*Back of the router: **0:01*

On a test:

Question 14: What is the other name for Titin?

[Jeanjellybean]

God bless the editor who had to type that word for the video

[Unanimious]

Has anyone ever thought about this?  This guy teaches in 14 minutes what a teacher takes 2 weeks to explain...

[lintafatima]

all the comments from 5 years ago then there's me in 2020 tryna study this for my final tmrw

[BryanSarauer]

Hank talks pretty fast. So, I decided to play it at 0.5 speed to see how that goes. What resulted was the awesome discovery that Hank sounds totally hammered at half speed. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

[timothywarner]

the protein at the bottom of the screen gives me anxiety.

[roobie]

me, a senior in a biomedical degree, needed some hank green to resimplify transcription and translation after my professor made it unbelievably complicated. thanks hank for making me feel sane

[swordyuri]

And that was 2 weeks of school in 14 minutes.
Boy, I do love crash course.

Imagine how chaotically beautiful medicine would be if everyone had the naming sense of the dude who named Snurps and Spliceosome

[hasini]

whoever took the time to write down that protein at the bottom of the screen - I commend you for the time and effort you put into that

[SkyVyrNox]

Nobody:


Poly-A tails be like:
Yes, there are 250 of them

[arholderik]

poor scientist who had to write down the name of titin

[yasmineabdouni]

God bless this guy. I don't think I'd be passing honors bio with out him 🙏🏼

[msjonyba]

"All of those hydrogen bonds cause wrinkled sheets. UHUH!"
XD Hank, that had me weak! 10/10.

[khalilbuchanan]

Exactly, in 14 Minutes he's done more than I've learned in 14 days...

[mickeynotmouse]

guys
This entire thing is INSANE

Don't you guys think this shit is MIND BLOWING? this shit is happening in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR CELLS

How do they? Who.. Who told them to do this? WHy do they do this?? WHAT

[BellaBaris]

Crash course makes A level biology much more understandable and fun!
