    I was exhausted, diligently taking notes, pausing the video and rewinding. FINALLY felt that I was starting to get a complete understanding for the metabolism... and then the intro played.

    Crash course is the goat. I watch the videos before college lecture. I find having an introduction to the topic in such a fun and entertaining way makes the lecture go down easier. I can also rewatch to help nail In understanding. This is helping me keep my gpa high enough to stay in honors. As someone who almost dropped out of high school 13 uears ago, these videos feel like they’re giving me a fighting chance.
    Thank you guys!

    Dam guys I didn't think you would go this deep. You made it to 3rd year biochem materials, never expected anyone to go that far in a small webshow. It may have been generalized but still, that is an achievement; bravo sirs, bravo.

    An instructor from an A&P class I took years ago pointed out that pretty much every "popular" food combo we can think of contains all the essential amino acids. Cultures that first discovered these combinations had the habit of not being dead during tough times when dietary options were reduced down to simple of dishes of beans and rice, peas and carrots, etc. And now a-days, those combinations are basically ingrained into the culture of what we eat together.

    When students procrastinate homework that's apart of a multi day lesson intended to teach them, to watch a video 10 minutes long and learn MORE about the subject than the class can... Something is wrong...

    I would argue that Hank makes one error at time point 5:25 when he states that ATP is too unstable to store. As a professor of biochemistry at a university, here is my explanation taken from my own course materials!
    "So, why doesn’t the body store up lots of ATP for use when needed? While some make an argument of stability, the issue is actually efficiency. The molecule of ATP is actually quite stable, if left on its own to degrade without the help of an enzyme, it would remain intact for about three years! However, there is only so much phosphate available to the cell and the molecule of ATP requires a considerable carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen structure to support those high energy phosphate bonds. Further, your body can store the energy of over 30 ATP in one molecule of glucose, so it is space saving. Therefore, we pack our liver with about a 24 hour supply of glycogen (a polymer of glucose and our molecular fast food) and oxidize that in order to make more ATP when needed. In order to store the same amount of energy as ATP, it would take 60 livers worth of space!"

      @Na5iR11 9 років тому +5

      +Michaela Dove When carbs are not needed they form Glycogen in the liver for short term storage since it is easy to access. Rest goes as fat in adipose cells for long term storage (as it takes more energy to return glucose from fat).
      Carbs are turned to glucose and put through the Krebs cycle for energy when needed by a cell.

    • @Na5iR11
