    At age 17 in AP Bio class, my teacher described the workings of the mitochondrion in great detail. I was enthralled by the descriptions of carbohydrate metabolism, how energy was withdrawn from it, and how a proton gradient powered actual protein "turbines" that spun as they drove the ATP synthetases. The mitochondrion inspired me to pursue medicine as a career. This video is a wonderous piece of work, a combination of artistic talent and scientific accuracy. It's EXACTLY how I imagined it.

    @0:41 The bluish barrel-shaped molecule is a chaperone: chaperones help proteins folds into their correct 3-D conformation.
    @1:11 Together, each rotating “tree” and the stationary part right next to it that keeps the top of the “tree” from rotating is one ATP synthase molecule.
    @1:14 ADP (yellow-green) is binding to ATP synthase and then ATP (glowing) is being released.
    @1:28 ADP and ATP are being exchanged through the membrane.

      Have u ever heard of Congenital insensitivity to pain ? As the name implied, the person doesn't feel pain, also is a very dangerous condition. In this world we're known & living in, one may be able to take pain away ( only temporary if you have $ ). Some might even minimized suffering through pleasure ... but soon or later they will come back stronger, hence requires bigger "doses" or painkiller and pleasures. Mind you, only one person ever live can help a person who has bigger pain, his name is Jesus ( Yeshua )

    @0:16 The worm-looking thing is a mitochondrion (plural = mitochondria)
    @0:22 The strand is a protein and it has particles attached to it to keep it linear, so that it can fit through a protein channel in the membrane.
    @0:24 The particles are released from the protein as it feeds into and through the protein channel in the outer mitochondrial membrane.
    @0:26 The protein passes through the space between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes and then through the inner membrane.

      "Scientists who utterly reject evolution may be one of our fastestgrowing controversial minorities. Many of the scientists supporting this position hold impressive credentials in science."
      ~Larry Hatfield in Science Digest
      "I believe science is pointing strongly toward design. To me, as a scientist, the development of an embryo cries out, `Design!' The Cambrian explosion-the sudden appearance of complex life, with no evidence of ancestors-is more consistent with design than evolution. Homology, in my opinion, is more compatible with design. The origin of life certainly cries out for a designer. None of these things make as much sense from a Darwinian perspective as they do from a design perspective."

But we can definitely say that the theory of evolution best explains the diversity of species through studies in genetics, biochemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, zoology, paleontology, etc.
