    Fun fact: between filming this video late last year and now, Hutt River province has packed up shop and rejoined Australia. We can only hope they share their succession expertise in forming the new country of Westralia under the leadership of God-Emperor Mark McGowan. Next episode lands in two weeks.

      They’re very good videos but the key is you have to upload regularly and I’ve notice there are gaps in the time he uploads his videos. Some are very large, like 3 months or even 6 months. UA-cam algorithms work better when you upload regularly. When you upload regularly you would see his videos advertised next to Tom Scott’s.

    Small squible: osmosis only applies to water concentrations. In the case of the glycerol (as depicted in the graphic) I think the osmotic pressure would actually be reversed: higher water concentration on the outside of the cell. (This is my understanding of it. I'm by no means an expert)

    • @skeetsmcgrew3282
      @skeetsmcgrew3282 3 роки тому +6

      I actually think you are correct, because they are totally different substances the water would tend to flow in. Maybe the glycerol is actually getting in the way of water entering?

    • @waterunderthebridge7950
      @waterunderthebridge7950 3 роки тому

      The graphic does misrepresent reality a bit, glycerol etc. is still dissolved in water in those cells. Cells of some halophilic or -tolerant organisms increase intracellular glycerol to match the overall extracellular salinity. Osmotic pressure is calculated from the total osmolarity of the solutions on either side of the membrane. Both increasing salinity and increasing glycerol serve to balance osmotic differences but high glycerol content is much less toxic than matching salinity for the cells, that‘s why it‘s a good survival tactic
