I'm a STEM major and this is life saving. Most times lecturers explain things in such an abstract way you can't relate to it realistically therefore can't understand but you guys are perfect!!! Don't stop making videos!!!!

[mayaholmquist]

Why do I already understand 8 minutes of this more than a whole year in biology class

[jog]

this feels like its aimed at a younger audience but its helping me through uni xD. thaanks

I had this genetics test that most people got 60s and 70s on. I got a 94, the highest in the class. And that is all thanks to you amoeba sisters, you guys are truly the best! Keep making videos!

Me watching this video: "Yes, makes sense. I now know it!"
Me going back reading my textbook: "Everything is confusing again!"

[luvlog]

thank you so much for your great job. I have a final exam tomorrow and your video is totally saving me. Thank you so much! You are such a life saver

[victorlin]

This is so incredibly good.

THANK YOU for using the parts that confused you (and many of us) during biology class to make *VERY* clear illustrated explanations.

It's often very confusing to read about the details in a solid block of text in a textbook, but it all becomes wonderfully clear once it's drawn out and labeled bit by bit.

2:29 "Yo, mom and dad, come lick this paper and tell me if it tastes funny"

It's like you're telling a story to a kindergarten kid but actually, you're explaining hereditary terms to the senior class students. It's just awesome!

Thank you for such an amazing (and cute) video

[aaronyates]

I don't want to be dramatic, but Amoeba Sisters has saved my life. My classes are so much easier bc of your guys. Thank you!

[avesgrave]

Oh my goodness, I have a test tomorrow that I am SO not prepared for and your video has literally saved my life, thank you thank

[geoFrizi]

She made me pass my biology exam... respect is all i can have

[GxP]

Just started learning this today, best timing ever

[meansnowflake]

My teacher *only* uses the amoeba sisters when we're learning something new in science

[calliesteele]

You are actually a life saver I find my science teacher to not actually have a effective way to teach that I can learn and understand so these videos really help thank you so much

[rtroblade]

OK but tell me why I just tried to taste my study guide

[pandachannel]

Is there like a Chemistry or Physics version of this kind of channel? I want one so bad :(

[insideateensmind]

When you look in the comments to find an answer to a question your teacher gave you ;-;

[marysimon]

Hey Amoeba sisters!! I'm a freshman in biology and your videos have helped me so much! I would love it if you could make more bacterial videos on chemoautotrophs, heterotrophs, decomposers, etc. I just find it all very confusing and you guys always seem to make everything so clear! Love you guys!

[arreaperdiz]

I freaking love the animation 😂😂
2:43 when she said my whole genetic code the sign said human not amoeba 😂🤣
