    This is great. Now I can whistle glycolysis (632) and the Krebs cycle (66544444). If I use sharps for CoA then it's (63#2) and (665#44444).
    You can even interleave them so it's (63#2) (665#44444) (665#44444) and repeat to represent a glycolysis causing two turns of the TCA cycle. The Music of Life!

    @mindatempleton1503 Рік тому +3

    Super helpful video (as are the others you've done about cellular respiration). Thanks! One question, though. My textbook says that "*after* moving into the mitochondrial matrix, the pyruvic acid (or pyruvate) is converted into a 2-carbon compound called Acetyl coenzyme A (Acetyl CoA)." Most other sources I'm finding say the same. However, if I understand correctly, this video is saying that this happens *before* moving into the mitochondria, and that the pyruvate molecule actually needs CoA to be able to cross the mitochondria membrane. I'm curious about this difference. Thanks.

    • @Sara-oh8kr
      @Sara-oh8kr 3 місяці тому

      The idea of CoA helping pyruvate cross the membrane isn't accurate. Instead, pyruvate enters the mitochondria through specific transport proteins called pyruvate translocase in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Once inside, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA.
      So, in short, the conversion to Acetyl CoA happens after pyruvate has crossed into the mitochondria.

    • @0720YMDorra
      @0720YMDorra 2 місяці тому

      Yes, you are right, I think he made an mistake here. Pyruvate enter the matrix of mitochondria with MPC1 and MPC2 and is then converted into a 2-carbon Compound called Acetyl CoA.
