I don't get it why my teacher assigned me to watch other biology videos on UA-cam when there's a Hank's video teaching about the same contents. Crashcourse is literally the best educational channel you can ever find on UA-cam
Hank was not mistaken. For all the people arguing about tonicity: Hypertonic = a lot of solute Hypotonic = not a lot of solute They are relative terms. A solution on its own isn't called hypertonic, it has to be hypertonic to some other solution. If the cell is hypertonic to its environment, then the environment is hypotonic to the cell, and the cell takes on water. If the cell is hypotonic to its environment, then the environment is hypertonic to the cell, and the cell loses water. Hope that helps.
+fayruz fikry Water with salt in it is also a solution, same as water. The salt water is trying to make the concentration of salt water similar on both sides, so it flows over to the bit that has less salt water (the outside) to make them the same. I think? Makes sense to me.
+mikaela sofea I think that makes sense,and evidently salt can be seen moving through the membrane. Which kinda begs the question,was it really osmosis? From what I know osmosis is only the movement of the solvent,not the solute. If it was indeed osmosis,I think only the water should move around,not the salt.
Don't know the answer to that question. All the websites and dictionaries I have found define osmosis roughly the same: a solvent moving across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration (of the solvent). Maybe Hank himself will answer the question? I heard he answers them himself sometimes. Sorry I couldn't help :(
+fayruz fikry I was confused by this too. I think only the cellulose membrane must be permeable to salt, otherwise, the water from the glass would have rushed in and the cellulose membrane would have swollen with more water. That would have been osmosis. I think what we were watching was diffusion of salt from the hypertonic solution in the hypotonic solution to gain equilibrium.
This guy is my favorite human being ever. He’s quirky, funny and smart. He is pure genius. I don’t understand a darn thing until he explains it to me. And he does it in a manner that I feel he’s talking directly to me. Thanks dude.
I really want to win valedictorian just so in my speech I can say "I would like to dedicate all of my good grades Crash Course, without of which, I would have failed." And that would be my whole speech. No inspiring words, just Crash Course.
I really appreciate this series. As a non science major it’s hard to get past the barrier of “simple science” but this lecture series is simplified without being condescending.
I was once asked in a Biology test what ATP stands for. My answer was Awesome Tooth Paste. I obviously didn't believe that, but that's what happens when you don't revise for your tests.
pahaha xDDDD once,a collegue of mine was asked to write down on the whiteboard Glucose (like the chemical formula) and he wrote down literary G L U C O S E.
I am returning to school after maaaaany yearssssss! You all have helped me so much with your videos. I am actually excited about science for the first time.
Same here! I think my brain lost the capacity to read but gained the property of watching helpful UA-cam videos ;) Let's hope the knowledge sticks the same way though..
When I type a subject into UA-cam when I need help with AS Biology and Chemistry, there is always a CrashCourse video about it! I remember when I used to watch these videos for fun (even though I never understood them fully because I hadn't learnt about it at school), now I use them for revision (but they are still fun to watch!). Thanks for making such amazing videos that help really help with college work, and keep them coming!
Is this guy famous? He should be! He should be making bank off of his videos. He has taught me so much. This is the best learning channel on youtube! Thank you so much for your help and teaching in a way that I and a lot more other people can understand!!!
Honestly Pankaj, I so wish I could have this in PDF version. But what I've been doing is basically watching video with subtitles and keeping the window open while I take notes, pausing it whenever I need. I also take screen caps and then insert them as diagrams into my notes. I hope this helps!
Dear Crash Course Biology, I am a Science teacher in Ecuador South America. I use your videos to reinforce information at the end of every unit. I am glad your talking rate has decreased which was the only con for your wonderful channel. Now my kids understand you clearly and i love the fact you have a table of contents at the end of the video.
I don't know where I would be without these videos. Seriously, I passed my exams in science just by watching these videos. No notes, or textbooks required. So big thank you to Crash Course for existing, much appreciation.
I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to Crash Course! You may not realize it, but your videos are exactly what is on my AS Level Biology specification here in the UK. The same goes for your psychology and American History playlists, those videos are more or less exactly what I need for AS levels, so THANK YOU!!!
I seriously wish that I had this stuff when I was at school. I loved science, chemistry and maths, but couldn't do it to save my life. I would have seriously got straight A's if I had internet information when I was younger. Now I totally enjoy watching these things for entertainment and brain stimulation. Awesome work, Crash Course!!!!
Sarah Mitchell So basically everyone who watches MSNBC. They are fans, they interrupt a congresswoman talking about domestic spying because Justin Beiber was arrested in Florida. Beiber > NSA scandal?
Hank Green is the modern day Bill Nye! I love these videos they are a great way to recap and remember what I've learned in school. Keep up the great work guys
You have the gift of teaching! I have been reading this stuff in my textbook and looking at the pictures and retaining nothing. This video makes perfect sense and I just want to thank you for it!!!!!
My science teacher loves Hank. She shows him all the time. Whenever he makes a joke and she laughs, I look at my friend and both of us laugh with her. It's the best.
I really appreciate that you explained that background concepts of membrane potential when explaining the Na+/K+ pump; I add your videos to a playlist for my anatomy class and it really helps the students understand the idea behind why these molecules are actively being pumped against their concentration gradients.
I absolutely love crash course. I learn so much. I can learn more in 11 minutes with you, then I can learn in a whole lecture. And I think it’s so cool that John Green is your brother. You guys are both so talented. Now only if I had a crash course section on trigonometry! Lol!
I found him so hard to follow last year when I was actually learning Bio/Chem, but now!!! Thank you!!! It is awesome to have all of it condensed and explained so well, that has refreshed my knowledge so quickly.
I LOVE this channel!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! My professor will explain this to me and I won't get it, but as soon as you played this video I felt like a newly birthed genius ready to tell everyone that doesn't care about my newly found personal discoveries in biology.
I have an EXTREME love/hate relationship with your work here. These videos are informative AND entertaining! I love your presentation and energy! How could anyone possibly hate what you do? Well, here's my issue: I cannot show these videos to my middle school students because of language and X-rated references. You have NO idea how hard it is to find exciting videos that so clearly illustrate these points, while visually engaging the audience. Any chance we desperate middle school teachers can persuade you to create a PG version of Crash Course?!
I mean, its has grown up references boo-hoo. They've more likely than not already been exposed. And what's more important, their education or some minor references? They have to grow up eventually
That Sodium-Potassium pump illustration was the best one I've seen in my 3+ years of Chemistry & Anatomy... It makes so much more sense now.... I think there was a literal lightbulb that went on above my head.
Xavier Hughes Well Smith is nice, but I don't know he's a bit to capricious for my tastes. 10 was often harsh but never cruel or petty, but 11 could actually be both those things on a bad day.
Active Transport: low concentration to high concentration. Requires energy. Passive transport: high concentration to low concentration. Requires no energy
It's crazy how interesting these videos are, I can literally watch all the videos in one sitting. Good stuff sir, I hope you expand into more topics as well.
Confused. Did you mix up the hypotonic and hypertonic, or have I just been taught wrong? I thought the hypotonic cell was the one that swelled and exploded.
+JuanDVene Yes, i think that he got it mixed up, i also learned the opposite, the hypotonic cell is the one that swells and 'explodes' as the salt/ion concentration is higher in the cell, then the outside, so water rushes in to try and over come this. ad Hypertonic is when the salt/ion concentration is super high outside, so the water in the cell rushes out to dilute the solution and the cell is left shriveled.
You can use hyper/hypotonic to describe both solutions. The one inside (Cytoplasm) the cell and the one outside. A solution is hypertonic when the concentration is higher than in an other solution. (Hypotonic is the same but reversed) When the cytoplasm is hypotonic (lower concentration than outside) the cell swells, because the outside is hypertonic to the cytoplasm. It is only a question of ones viewpoint.
+JuanDVene For osmosis, we look at the concentration of water instead of the solute. That's why the direction is from hypotonic(more water) to hypertonic(less water).
+JuanDVene he clarified it in the video in writing. Cell is hypertonic, but the environment is hypotonic. I was taught from the environment's point of view, he is explaining it from the cell's point of view.
I have been watching this for many years as a biology teacher and just realized that what Hank says at 2:44 is misleading. He says that the solution is hypertonic when he should have said the CELL is hypertonic. Overall, I think his videos are great. Hank, please correct this mistake with a note as you did at 3:58. Thanks
I noticed that as well I feel bad for the people who got that wrong because of this. A hypotonic solution is one in which the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside of it, and a hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it. Hank said it the other way around for hypertonic.
You don't need to know this for GCSE at all, only the basics. You only need this at A-Level. At GCSE you only need to understand the osmosis etc around the cell, nothing more specific. Edit: I meant the bit about the 'Fluid Mosaic' Structure and hydrophbic heads & Phospho lipids etc. didn't realise this was a GCSE-ey type video, I was looking for A-Level results. lol :D SO overall most of this video goes into too much detail which is necessary for GCSE Knowledge, but no harm ofc.
so so so thankful to have found this channel! would not be able to pass biology without it! our generation has been programmed to learn by way of the magic school bus and bill nye, so videos like this are apparently the best way for us to understand it! THANK YOU!
Attention Hank messed up on this video! At 2:39 he gets hypertonic backwords. A hypotonic solution is one in which the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside of it, and a hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it.
I love how you were the only dude in the queue and how other ladies were awkwardly staring away from the camera and ignore the talkative dude lecturing something that had nothing to do with the activity at hand
thank you sooo much hank green for this video it is very helpful and reviewed my whole entire very confusing biology unit to make it very easy in 11 minutes! yes!
I swear i learned more in this 11 minute video then i did in my 3 hour lecture. Thank You
ikr

NICK LEE lab class you mean lab class😂 those are 3hours
I don't get it why my teacher assigned me to watch other biology videos on UA-cam when there's a Hank's video teaching about the same contents. Crashcourse is literally the best educational channel you can ever find on UA-cam
Teacher used TEST!!!
Student uses CRASH COURSE!
IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!!
It was super effective
STOP SCREAMING!
The ants 😡🐜
Student Pokemon. 😊
Teacher used 4 hour lecture!
Student's accuracy and speed went down sharply!
Hank was not mistaken. For all the people arguing about tonicity:
Hypertonic = a lot of solute
Hypotonic = not a lot of solute
They are relative terms. A solution on its own isn't called hypertonic, it has to be hypertonic to some other solution.
If the cell is hypertonic to its environment, then the environment is hypotonic to the cell, and the cell takes on water.
If the cell is hypotonic to its environment, then the environment is hypertonic to the cell, and the cell loses water.
Hope that helps.
So the water with salt in it is hypertonic,and the water on the outside is hypotonic,right? Then how come the salt water pours out from the membrane?
+fayruz fikry Water with salt in it is also a solution, same as water. The salt water is trying to make the concentration of salt water similar on both sides, so it flows over to the bit that has less salt water (the outside) to make them the same. I think? Makes sense to me.

his brother is John Green? like the writer? wtf their parents must be proud
HAHA yeah. John Green also does a hell lot of videos for crash course.
of witch one
Never mind there parents, were all proud to have similar cells to these dudes :)
Yeah, his brother, the author of "the Fault in Our Stars" hosts a lot of the history series on Crash Course.
@@ObjectiveZoomer Oh my word. I did not know that, and it is pretty awesome!
This guy is my favorite human being ever. He’s quirky, funny and smart. He is pure genius. I don’t understand a darn thing until he explains it to me. And he does it in a manner that I feel he’s talking directly to me. Thanks dude.
I really want to win valedictorian just so in my speech I can say "I would like to dedicate all of my good grades Crash Course, without of which, I would have failed." And that would be my whole speech. No inspiring words, just Crash Course.
Melissa Archer Did you make it?
my question exactly
used this for AP bio 3 years ago, re-watched for Into Bio my freshman year. AND now, yay, watching it again for Neurobiology. Memories!
Can Hank just teach my bio class?
Yaaaaaas!
Yaaaaas omg my kween
Jillian O'Donnell
I sure wish that. My bio teacher is..... difficult to say the least
He'd make it so much fun. And make me ACTUALLY want to go.
Can Hank just teach every class ever?
He's like the Bill Nye of our generation
HANK HANK HANK HANK HANK HANK HANK
HANK GREEN THE SCIENCE MACHINE
Isn't Bill Nye the Bill Nye of our generation?
Not if you're in highschool
He's more of the Bill Nye in high school. But actually teaches you.
Bill Nye? I used to watch Bill Nye! I agree, though, Hank does a pretty good job.
Who's banana do you gotta peel to get into this club?
Idk
Nowa staw i wonder if anyone really gets this dudes jokes hes nuts. lol.
ya nastay.
+Nowa staw wow starting off with a sexual innuendo, this'll be a good one
+Nowa staw I was thinking about Potassium which is high in bananas trying to get inside of the membrane =.=
I really appreciate this series. As a non science major it’s hard to get past the barrier of “simple science” but this lecture series is simplified without being condescending.

Adenosine Tritoothpaste
Thera pisT Adenosine Toothpaste?
Hahahaha
I am returning to school after maaaaany yearssssss! You all have helped me so much with your videos. I am actually excited about science for the first time.
+Mia S yay!!!!
Same here! I think my brain lost the capacity to read but gained the property of watching helpful UA-cam videos ;) Let's hope the knowledge sticks the same way though..
Wait... so you're John Green's brother...
cool
Ash MacCormac ...i can't be the only person who's surprised..
***** You aren't. I didn't think about till now:
The same last name and similar looks.
Mindblowing o.o
Ash MacCormac who is John Green
An author who writes love stories between heterosexual white teenagers (with or without cancer). He wrote the fault in our stars.
I'm so glad there are people like you guys who make such helpful videos without asking anything in return
"Cells, like nightclubs, have to be selectively permeable." I love nerds SO much!
It makes no sense that after hours in lecture hall I leave with nothing. 11 minutes on youtube and I know everything.
That's because you didn't concentrate?
Or because the Professor didn't properly explain it?
Sometimes it's more the Professor's fault than the students.
Key word here is "sometimes"...
Same LOL
yeah no guys stop fooling yourselves, when you say it's the teacher, it's really you..
When I type a subject into UA-cam when I need help with AS Biology and Chemistry, there is always a CrashCourse video about it!

Crash course you all are the reason why I'm graduating!! Cannot thank you all enough. :D
hey all, just letting you know, even some of your future doctors watch these for help ;)
True
who else is cramming for exams
Is this guy famous? He should be! He should be making bank off of his videos. He has taught me so much. This is the best learning channel on youtube! Thank you so much for your help and teaching in a way that I and a lot more other people can understand!!!
Bio quiz tomorrow...
Katie Hiles I'm in the same spot haha
Same!!! Good Luck...
Same here
:D
same
"I transport myself across the concentration gradient of humans"
For some reason this was really funny to me
can we get this material in PDF for text format from somewhere...pls
Honestly Pankaj, I so wish I could have this in PDF version. But what I've been doing is basically watching video with subtitles and keeping the window open while I take notes, pausing it whenever I need. I also take screen caps and then insert them as diagrams into my notes. I hope this helps!
I used to play the videos on 0.5 speed or 0.25 speed. Nice and slow
I actually have thought exactly that.
Steampunk Ninja Porpoise uno
"There is a uniform mass of John Greens throughout the club" Sounds like a good time to me.
Dear Crash Course Biology, I am a Science teacher in Ecuador South America. I use your videos to reinforce information at the end of every unit. I am glad your talking rate has decreased which was the only con for your wonderful channel. Now my kids understand you clearly and i love the fact you have a table of contents at the end of the video.
I was almost failing AP-Bio and he saved my grade/life hahaha
Same here.
I bet that one day teachers would have students watch this instead of paper work.
Already happened. My teacher did it two days ago. 😧😂
Flipped classrooms are real, bro.
My teacher did today but skipped like the inappropriate things that he said. Lol
My teacher sends us these videos to watch and take notes on them for a grade.
Review day in AP Bio 😂
I don't know where I would be without these videos. Seriously, I passed my exams in science just by watching these videos. No notes, or textbooks required. So big thank you to Crash Course for existing, much appreciation.
And think about how long ago he made these.
Maya Enriquez I never realized how long ago these were made O.o
I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to Crash Course! You may not realize it, but your videos are exactly what is on my AS Level Biology specification here in the UK.
The same goes for your psychology and American History playlists, those videos are more or less exactly what I need for AS levels, so THANK YOU!!!

“If everyone in the club were John green” -Hank Green, 2012
I liked this video just because "kicking out trash, ridiculously drunks people, and Justin Bieber fans"
And Doctor Who. Don't ever forget Doctor Who.
Jay Sharma What?! 😰 No! I love this video for mentioning Doctor Who!!!
Sarah Mitchell So basically everyone who watches MSNBC.
They are fans, they interrupt a congresswoman talking about domestic spying because Justin Beiber was arrested in Florida. Beiber > NSA scandal?
Sarah Mitchell Trash, Drunks.... Bieber Fans... so many Bieber fans...
***** Would appreciate not being homophobic here k thx.
Hank Green is the modern day Bill Nye! I love these videos they are a great way to recap and remember what I've learned in school. Keep up the great work guys
You have the gift of teaching! I have been reading this stuff in my textbook and looking at the pictures and retaining nothing. This video makes perfect sense and I just want to thank you for it!!!!!
2 hours til my AP Bio test lezz go!
How did you do?
I got a 95 out of 100! Got it back like a week ago and got only 2 questions wrong. :D
Nice job! Here in NZ we do our exams in mid-November and we get our results 2 months later!
i have my AP Bio Semester 1 Final in 7 hours...
Well AP test is tomorrow
hank's still got the best science videos out there 👌
Nah, look at AK lectures.
ah yea those are very detailed
Thanks for these series! I homeschool my kids and I feel that Hank helps the kids get a better grasp on the topics at hand!
You just explained a whole chapter in my textbook to me in about 12 minutes with me understanding every word of it
THANKS
Reading biology can be such a bore sometimes but you make it bearable. I'm laughing at your dorkiness, thanks for making biology memorable, dude.
Who's here watching this video right before the AP Bio exam
Oof not AP bio yet. Just pre-ap😂😂
ok but like i‘m a sophomore and i have to study this for a normal exam
But in Quarantine
I really love how animated he is. He's like a talking mnemonics!
"Whose banana do you gotta peel to get in?"
IfyouknowwhatImean.
+kotosqopos lol
you have 69 likes lol
I thought I was the only one who knew what he meant
96
What does it mean?
My science teacher loves Hank. She shows him all the time. Whenever he makes a joke and she laughs, I look at my friend and both of us laugh with her. It's the best.
I really appreciate that you explained that background concepts of membrane potential when explaining the Na+/K+ pump; I add your videos to a playlist for my anatomy class and it really helps the students understand the idea behind why these molecules are actively being pumped against their concentration gradients.

Wait, so did hank just stand outside a club in line and talk to a camera about cell membranes? Why aren't we discussing this?
For the record, David Tennant was indeed the better Doctor.
ah but can you say that truthfully when considering Capaldi's eyebrows?
I found him so hard to follow last year when I was actually learning Bio/Chem, but now!!! Thank you!!! It is awesome to have all of it condensed and explained so well, that has refreshed my knowledge so quickly.
What my teacher couldn't do in a span of 3 hours. Thank goodness for this person and his team!
I LOVE this channel!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! My professor will explain this to me and I won't get it, but as soon as you played this video I felt like a newly birthed genius ready to tell everyone that doesn't care about my newly found personal discoveries in biology.
wow
I have an EXTREME love/hate relationship with your work here. These videos are informative AND entertaining! I love your presentation and energy! How could anyone possibly hate what you do? Well, here's my issue: I cannot show these videos to my middle school students because of language and X-rated references. You have NO idea how hard it is to find exciting videos that so clearly illustrate these points, while visually engaging the audience. Any chance we desperate middle school teachers can persuade you to create a PG version of Crash Course?!
Just give your kids the link and hopefully they watch it on their own time.
Adam Guion hahah yea because that makes a difference
I mean, its has grown up references boo-hoo. They've more likely than not already been exposed. And what's more important, their education or some minor references? They have to grow up eventually
Adam Guion Trust me....these middle schoolers watch worse content on their own time lol. Just show it to them, or provide the link to watch elsewhere.
Try the Bozeman science videos. Those videos aren't quite as silly and quite informative as well.
That Sodium-Potassium pump illustration was the best one I've seen in my 3+ years of Chemistry & Anatomy... It makes so much more sense now.... I think there was a literal lightbulb that went on above my head.
You are better at explaining than my bio teacher , thanks for saving my studying!!!
I got to agree with John on the best Doctor.
True
same
I like T. Baker and Tennant equally, but I prefer Capaldi and Davison, myself.
I have the personal feeling Smith isn't being properly represented in this comment chain, so hi. Would you like some custard?
Xavier Hughes Well Smith is nice, but I don't know he's a bit to capricious for my tastes. 10 was often harsh but never cruel or petty, but 11 could actually be both those things on a bad day.
he made like im a kid. the tone voice and the analogy helps a lot!!
Studying for a biology exam, thanks for keeping this interesting.
Loved the bright colours
Would you say the night club... HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF JOHN GREENS?
sorry not sorry
😂😂😂😂😂😂 lmao
lol this made my day :D
I can imagine it 😂😂😂
IM SO HAPPY I GOT THAT JOKE well played sir well played
Learnt way more in this video than I did in a month on this topic. CrashCourse is the best!
Bio Exam today wish me luck!
You have literally saved my life! I completely understand everything I'm learning about membrane transports now! Thank you so much!
Active Transport: low concentration to high concentration. Requires energy.
Passive transport: high concentration to low concentration. Requires no energy
My biology teacher made me and my peers watch this. I like it...
Taught me more biology than in 12 months of school.
"Whose banana's you gotta peel to get into this club?" LMAO, old Crash Course was wild bro
I love these videos sm... i have a test tomorrow and this mixed with studying the PowerPoint is like perfect
It's crazy how interesting these videos are, I can literally watch all the videos in one sitting. Good stuff sir, I hope you expand into more topics as well.
After learning about ATP for the last month, I only understand it now while watching this video
"Some crazy.. drunken people. JUSTIN BIEBER FANS!" lmao.
good joke for 2012
yup agreed haha
Who is Justin Beebur?
0x00 0x00 what are you kidding
justin bieber is amazing shut up
THIS GUY IS THE MASTER OF MAKING LAST MINUTE STUDY VIDEOS!
Confused. Did you mix up the hypotonic and hypertonic, or have I just been taught wrong? I thought the hypotonic cell was the one that swelled and exploded.
+JuanDVene Yes, i think that he got it mixed up, i also learned the opposite, the hypotonic cell is the one that swells and 'explodes' as the salt/ion concentration is higher in the cell, then the outside, so water rushes in to try and over come this. ad Hypertonic is when the salt/ion concentration is super high outside, so the water in the cell rushes out to dilute the solution and the cell is left shriveled.

+JuanDVene Naw man dat wan is da one dat looks rinckly n shit cuz da water always goes to da hypertonic side man
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT HIS BROTHER WROTE THE FAULT IN OUR STARS !!!!!!!
Damn bruuuhhh
Hank, you're the reason I'm passing the IB Biology course. I am immensely grateful. *bows and tips fedora*
Thank god for this guy. I got a test next period and now im at least a bit more confident
I have been watching this for many years as a biology teacher and just realized that what Hank says at 2:44 is misleading. He says that the solution is hypertonic when he should have said the CELL is hypertonic. Overall, I think his videos are great. Hank, please correct this mistake with a note as you did at 3:58. Thanks
Dean Mohlman roast them
Dean Mohlman ROASTED HIM!!!!!!!!
I noticed that as well I feel bad for the people who got that wrong because of this. A hypotonic solution is one in which the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside of it, and a hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it. Hank said it the other way around for hypertonic.
another thing, isn't steroid supposed to be able to diffuse easily through the cell membrane?
He’s actually right though. It’s a hypertonic, or hypotonic solution, not cell.
I never made the connection between John and you, Hank. You are both brilliant. Keep entertaining us you two!
Had to watch for pre-GCSE Biology. My teacher obviously thinks you are a credible source, Hank.
In a positive way.
You don't need to know this for GCSE at all, only the basics.
You only need this at A-Level.
At GCSE you only need to understand the osmosis etc around the cell, nothing more specific.
Edit: I meant the bit about the 'Fluid Mosaic' Structure and hydrophbic heads & Phospho lipids etc.
didn't realise this was a GCSE-ey type video, I was looking for A-Level results. lol :D
SO overall most of this video goes into too much detail which is necessary for GCSE Knowledge, but no harm ofc.
so so so thankful to have found this channel! would not be able to pass biology without it! our generation has been programmed to learn by way of the magic school bus and bill nye, so videos like this are apparently the best way for us to understand it! THANK YOU!
this is my favorite series in Crash Course, it started great and it just keeps really great 😂
Attention Hank messed up on this video! At 2:39 he gets hypertonic backwords. A hypotonic solution is one in which the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside of it, and a hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it.
DeLiiRiuM Thank you for that. By the way you, got “backwords” wrong. It’s backwards, with an “”A”.
“you remember where you left your keys!” wrong i have adhd HAHA
Soy brasileña y vivo en Paraguay. Me gusta mucho sus videos! Congratulations!
If Hank is my AP biology teacher and John is my Social science teacher then I would do nothing better than studying.
You made a Doctor Who reference!!! You just got a new subscriber. :)
Gabe Newell What?
I honestly don't know what you're talking about... O_O
Thank you, *****.
Gabe Newell sounds like the cat is out of the bag... it must be eating the mice...
precisely my thoughts
I love how you were the only dude in the queue and how other ladies were awkwardly staring away from the camera and ignore the talkative dude lecturing something that had nothing to do with the activity at hand
thank you sooo much hank green for this video it is very helpful and reviewed my whole entire very confusing biology unit to make it very easy in 11 minutes! yes!
I just have one question... in phagosytosis when a cell engulfs a particle, inside of the cell does the substance become a food vacuole/phagosome?
Yes, this is often the case in protists.
This video just helped me pass my bio test. True life saver. OMG AND I JUST FOUND OUT U ARE JOHN GREEN'S BROTHER!!!
Alyxandria Ang 😂
I enjoy learning in crash course because it makes learning much more interesting and the concepts were elaborated clearly with such cohesion
that awkward moment when this series taught me more in an hour than my teacher has all year.
Welp... I got another biology test... time to win with minimal effort again.
An entire quarter of Biology in about an hour! Nice! I'm actually reviewing for the exams now...
to remember the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic, HYPOtonic sounds like hippo and hippos are big and round like a HYPOtonic cell
love your channel!
happy 11th bday to this video lol, i have an exam in a couple of days and just saw the date this video came out
