remember in elementary school when all you needed to know is: photosynthesis needs the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make food? Now it has come to this.
THANK YOU!
pepperidge farm remembers
Moriah Sun xD
I remember "carbon dioxide" being dumbed to just being "air" even.
Sun, water, and air. How things have changed lol.
Elementary: Sun light is absorbed by the plant!
High School: Protons move out of the thylakoid concentration through ATP Synthase.
RIP to the people who are watching these videos who have tests the next day...

+frederick thelen same
yup
I remembered having to learn about this when I was in high school Biology so I came back to see if it would come back to me at age 37. Nope, I ended up rocking back and forth in the corner of my office in the feeble position. Then I snapped out of it... I now embrace this truth - plants turn water, sunlight, and CO2 into food using magic
I appreciate the fact that he admits this process is stupidly hard for no reason except... science😂
Finally someone who just admits that this whole process is overly complicated for no reason at all
lol what
it’s complicated but so is everything? nobody said it wasn’t complicated? this video is super over-simplified too?
Blocky Dogy for you maybe, it’s still a lot to take in
@@esmesa5642 ok yeah mood
Who else zones out during the video and then has to rewatch it again...and again...
FINALLY I WATCHED IT 34 TIMES FROM THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING except the parts after the co2 molecule gets stuck to that long chain thing.
I cant believe it. I dont understand myself. and btw i am NOT just a huge sac of chlorophyl.
I cant believe people keep thinking my chemicals are bad. You are all lucky you even have some energy you can digest and store as fat or use the carbs that we work so hard on maintaining and building for your quick sources of energy
As soon as i find a replacement for oxygen you humans will pay for this
AND WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP CUTTING THE TREES DOWN!!!
Why dont you humans just move to outerspace since you think your so much smarter than us. We were here first. btw and evolution is the only real creator.
~the Chloroplast
Meeeeeee
Making notes on the video is a good way to avoid that happening
@@ravenwolf2220 Or popping Adderall.
Meeeee....mad annoying
These are the notes I took. Hopefully this can further your understanding
LIGHT DEPENDENT REACTIONS (STAGE 1):
-Photons strike the chlorophyll in Photosystem II (PSII) and an electron absorbs the energy and gets excited (photoexcitation)
-The electron travels from PSII (first protein complex of 4) along the electron transport chain (via mobile electron carriers) to harness energy.
*mobile electron carriers are proteins that carry electrons along a membrane
[-The chlorophyll splits a stable molecule of H2O, stealing an electron to replace the old one. Oxygen is then released from the plant. This allows us to breathe.]
-The energized electrons from PSII that were picked up by the electron carriers are transported to the next protein complex, the Cytochrome Complex.
-The Cytochrome Complex serves stands between PSII and PSI (all embedded in the thylakoid membrane) and uses energy from the electrons to pump hydrogen ions into the thylakoid.
-Protons accumulated from the splitting of H2O and via the Cytochrome Complex now in the thylakoid then move toward the enzyme ATP synthase, which uses the energy to pack an inorganic phosphate onto ADP to create ATP.
-As electrons move along the Electron Transport Chain, they lose energy
-The ‘tired’ electrons become re-energized as it reaches Photosystem I and travels on another electron carrier, where all the energy is used to make NADPH.
*Products of Light Dependent reactions: chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, and the by-product oxygen.
LIGHT INDEPENDENT REACTIONS (STAGE 2):
-First phase of the Calvin Cycle is known as Carbon Fixation
-Begins in the stroma (empty space of chloroplast). Involves fixing a CO2 molecule onto Ribulose Bisphosphate (RuBP) with the help of an enzyme RuBisCo. This causes the RuBP to become unstable.
-This new 6-carbon chain has to break apart, creating two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate, which occurs to three molecules of RuBP.
-Second phase of the Calvin Cycle is called Reduction.
-ATP combines a phosphate group onto the 3-phosphoglycerate and NADPH packs some electrons, creating 2 molecules of Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate (G3P).
-G3P is a high energy, 3-carbon compound that plants can convert into many carbohydrates such as glucose, cellulose, or starch. (glucose=short term energy / cellulose=structure / starch=long term energy)
-The last phase of the Calvin Cycle is call Regeneration.
-9 ATPs and 6 NADPHs are required to convert the 3 RuBPs we started with into 6 G3Ps. However, only one G3P can leave the cycle... the other 5 G3Ps are needed to regenerate the original RuBPs, completing one round of the cycle.
Hope this helps!
Ahhhhhh thank you so much!! I was rewinding the video every 20 sec and still didn’t get it at the end, this helps to make sooooo much sense *hug you tight*
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.
That's what I've learned so far.
yeh can we write that in the exam???
@@madihatasnim6971 nope. And thats all ik
Mitochondria is for aerobic respiration. And they create atp in all organisms. Photosynthesis is done in chloroplasts. Atp is not what it is for
We shall watch your career with great interest.

heyyyy same
i love pre ap bio hhahahahah ha ha :(
I LOVE pre-ap bio...

**(flashbacks of hearing complicated words in class, zoning out and cramming like crazy the day before the exam)**
@Nati Tesfaye me too😂😂
Good luck to everyone on their exam tomorrow! Now stop reading comments and get back to revision
advice taken.
i needed this lol
Thank you needed that!
We shall watch your career with great interest.
shut up let me procrastinate
I failed Biology 3 times already, this is my 4th time taking the class. First time actually trying to seriously understand it. I’ve been watching your videos that relate to what we’re learning in class, I want to thank you for helping me earn a 92% on my first exam. I’m so grateful for you!

Read about it, then watch the video.
watch khan acedemy's video
"Or more likely you want to do well on your test." Pffffttt. At this point I just want to pass.
i totally agree

currently crying in bed at 3am trying to study for my AP Bio test but every single drop of will and motivation has been drained out of me.
did you survive
hello

anam ahmed and i was happy about getting a 54 on another one
Weak. I’m in 7th grade and this bores me.
" you are committed to having a better, deeper understanding of our world; or more probably you'd like to do good on your test" hahahaha this Hank guy is the best
hahahahahahhahahahahahahaghahahaha
Basically the video in text, hopefully to further your understanding.
Requires water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and light.
Roots of plants absorb water and transport it to the leaves through xylem, CO2 enters the plant (while O2 exits) through microscopic pores in leaves called stomata, and individual photons are absorbed from the sun in the plant by the pigment chlorophyll.
**It is important that O2 levels remain low (explained later) for the Calvin Cycle (Stage 2)
Inside the cell of plants are plastids called chloroplasts, which contain thylakoids (which store chlorophyll), which contain lumen inside and Stroma outside; stacks of thylakoids are called grana.
Light Dependent Reactions (Stage 1)
PS II (wavelength p680)
-Photons strike the chlorophyll in Photosystem 2 (PS II) and an electron absorbs the energy and becomes excited (photoexcitation), but has nothing to do with this energy.
-The electron travels from PS II (1st protein complex of 4) along the Electron Transport Chain (via mobile electron carriers) to harness the energy; across a series of reactions the electrons lose their energy.
-The energised electrons from PS II that were picked up by electron carriers are transported to the 2nd protein complex, the Cytochrome Complex.
-The cytochrome complex stands in between PS II and PS I (which are all embedded in the thylakoid membrane), and uses the lost energy from the electrons to pump hydrogen ions into the thylakoid.-Now missing an electron, the chlorophyll molecule will split a H20 molecule in cooperation with PS II to steal its electron and replenish the one it lost, the by-products of this process are hydrogen ions (single protons) and oxygen.
**By-product of oxygen is the reason behind the survival of living organisms.
-Protons accumulated from the splitting of H2O and via the cytochrome complex now in the thylakoid then move towards the enzyme ATP Synthase, which uses that energy to pack an inorganic phosphate (Pi) onto ADP to create ATP.
PS I (wavelength p700)
The 'tired' electrons becomes reenergised by some photons as it reaches Photosystem 1 (PS I) and travels on another electron carrier, where all of the energy is used to help make NADPH (similar to ATP) by an enzyme, which combines 2 electrons and 1 Hydrogen ion with NADP+. (NADP+ + 2 e- + 1 H+ = NADPH).
**Products of light dependent reactions: Chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, as well as the by-product O2.
Light Independent Reactions/Calvin Cycle (Stage 2)
**Doesn't require light energy from photons, uses energy derived from ATP and NADPH to fuel processes
Carbon Fixation (1st phase of Calvin Cycle)
-Begins in the Stroma (empty space of chloroplast). Involves fixing a CO2 molecule onto Ribulose-Biphosphate or RuBP (the starting and end point of the 'cycle'), with the help of an enzyme called RuBisCo (which converts inorganic carbon into organic carbon), which causes it to become unstable.
-So this new 6-Carbon chain has to break apart, creating 2 molecules of 3-Phopshoglycerate, which occurs to 3 molecules of RuBP (explained later).
**If RuBisCo reacts with O2 instead of CO2, it creates a toxic by-product known as phosphogycolate (process of photorespiration) believed to alter enzymatic functions.
Reduction (2nd phase)
-ATP combines a phosphate group onto the 3-Phosphoglycerate molecules and then NADPH packs some electrons, creating 2 molecules of Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate (G3P).
-G3P is a high-energy, 3-carbon compound that plants can convert into many carbohydrates such as glucose, or cellulose or starch.
Regeneration (3rd and last phase)
-9 ATP molecules and 6 NADPHs are required to convert the 3 RuBPs started with into 6 G3Ps, however only 1 G3P can leave the cycle - with the other 5 G3Ps needed to regenerate the original 3 RuBPs, completing 1 round of the cycle.
**G3P is considered the ultimate product of photosynthesis as the glucose gained from it is the energy used by all cells.
Boston You, sir, are a gift to the world. Thank you so much.
Boston thank you
Boston It all makes sense now...
you are an absolute god sent
Boston Thank you! :)
Summary for those whom it may concern:
We begin in PS2 (photosystem 2), light energy absorbed by the cholorophyll exciting electrons in it.
Excited electrons move up to a higher energy level.
Excited electrons move to electrons carriers forming electron transport chain (redox reactions occur).
Energy is lost from electrons moving down the electron transport chain.
Water is split into H+, e- and 1/2 O2 by photolysis (light energy used to break it down).
Electron from the water being split is given back to PS2.
Energy lost from electrons moving down electron transport chain is used to pump H+ into thylakoid from the stroma creating proton gradient.
Protons move out of thylakoid down concentration gradient through ATP Synthase.
Energy from this movement is used to add inorganic phosphate to ADP forming ATP.
PS1: Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll exciting electrons to a higher energy level.
Electron transferred to NADP along with a H+ from stroma to form reduced NADP (NADPH).
- Cyclic photophosphorylation:
Electrons excited by energy absorbed and passed onto electron carriers.
Electrons passed back to PS1 (hence 'Cyclic')- no electrons lost)).
H+ pumped into thylakoid from stroma by energy lost from electrons moving down energy levels.
Proton gradient used causes high concentration of H+ in thylakoid to reduce by H+ leaving through ATP Synthase.
Energy from this movement allows ---> ADP+P(i)-->ATP.
NADPH and ATP used in light independant reactions.
OMG thank you so much now I may pass my test!!!
Happy I could help :)
you made it easier thanks
thx bih
You are a life savor!!!
This is probably the first crash course video that I've watched and then felt MORE nervous for my exam afterward
I have my test in an hour. So far I know electrons are involved somehow.
Weak. I’m in 7th grade and this bores me.
Someone404 why are you even here then 💀 you’re in middle school you don’t need to know all of this yet
@@Someone-sq8im Been using crash course since 3rd grade. Nerd power
Did you pass?
@@lizbethreynoso9044 It is not about what you NEED to know. We learn to broaden our cultural horizons, to open our minds and, to enjoy life. The saying 'Knowledge is Power', is in no way metaphorical.
Why do i even go to college? This channel teaches me more in ten minutes than my professor teaches in one semester. Crash Course explains the material thoroughly, and in a simple, concise manner, while most professors simply lecture because they are required to teach a course if the university is funding their research.
+Ashten Pickens
With crashcourse though, you gotta put that video speed at 0.5.
10 minute video? If you get through all of these in the time they actually are, you miss mostly everything unless you already know the material and just want to review.
But, even if a 10 minute video takes 30 minutes to watch and take notes on, it's still a lot of covered bases in a short amount of time.
So, i agree.
+Hero✩Lydragius lol, I put mine at 1.5 (I watch all my videos on 2x)
Don McDermott Do you actually retain the info that way? Are you just watching or review, or to actually learn this stuff for the first time?
I've been learning this for the first time and taking notes i mentioned and stuff. He talks pretty fast and i hate pausing all the time, so slowing it down makes it easier to take the notes.
Also, Hank sounds hilarious at 0.5 speed.
Hero✩Lydragius yeah. I can spew that shit out like a baby spews vomit. I'm set for midterm and finals that includes any of what this guy has said.
Then again, before I did this, I was the kid in classes who would shout out answers in review "while others took notes" and now I'm shouting out this stuff b4 we get to it
Don McDermott That's just what happens when you've heard it all before already.
"or more likley you'd like to do well on your test" I feel attacked right now this is the exact reason i'm here
Almost everybody here is for this reason
FINALLY I WATCHED IT 34 TIMES FROM THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING except the parts after the co2 molecule gets stuck to that long chain thing.
I cant believe it. I dont understand myself. and btw i am NOT just a huge sac of chlorophyl.

From dedicated scientist who spend years and years and years of hardcore scientific research. It's beautiful :)
With an electron microscope and a lot of patience
alberto trillo
No. An Electron microscope is great for showing what things look like, but it's completely hopeless at showing us how things work. In order for an EMS to take a photo at all, the thing being photographed has to be killed, frozen solid and broken into tiny slices

who else is cramming the night before ap bio exam

"Or more probably, you want to do well on your test". Yeah pretty much
Edited: 8 years old and A Level biologists are still using it to teach themselves photosynthesis. You're still a freaking legend mate
I remember making a model of the chloroplast for 9th-grade biology and I made it of mint Oreos, green-dyed vanilla frosting, Chocolate frosting, sprinkles, and tableware. It was everyone's favorite because we got to eat my project.

When Hank Green can teach you more about photosynthesis in 13min than your actual biology teacher can teach you in three weeks.
Or 2 years lol
I need to watch this again in 0.75x speed man
Thats exactly what I do mate, it works though
omg thanks for the suggestion
Lol i watch it at a speed of 1.5x
i usually do to but im cramming so im playing it 1.75x to actually finish all vids cause its like 1 am and my finals are tmrw
HE TALKS SO FAST
I appreciate how deeply he understands our pain😶
I got a 93% on my test today thank you so much
What, my parents would kill me if I brought 96%
Hank, you and the Crash Course team are saving my butt right now! I've got a biology test tomorrow and my teacher has one of those voices that the brain tunes out ALL OF THE TIME. Thanks for making these! SO helpful!
i know what u mean :PP
All the shade he is throwing at plants in this video is making my late night studying so much more enjoyable.
If he throwing shade at plants, how are they gonna do them light dependent reactions?!

Watching Hank is like watching Khan at 2x speed.
Johnny Yeah with kahn you gotta put the video at extra speed with hank sometimes you gotta slow it down lol
"Think about how chlorophyll feels." I have some advice for chlorophyll: Give in to your hate, your suffering, your anger, and turn to the dark side. Dark Plantaeus, welcome to the Sith! Now, rise as my new apprentice!
Where Lord Vader failed, you shall rebound and rise, bringing my Empire to glory and order to the Galaxy!
I’ve got nothing to say
The AP exam is tomorrow and Hank Green is the only reason I'm gonna pass
The Religion Of Ryden It’s nice to know we’re all suffering together
Indeed
I came to learn a little bit more about photosynthesis.... I see a bunch of people complaining about religion & science, I mean really??? WHAT DOES RELIGION HAVE TO DO WITH PHOTOSYNTHESIZING?!????!?!?
Because people think that the complexity of phtosynthesis is impossible to be achieved through evolution, which, in the end, is just saying: I can't understand (or i find it difficult/complex) so it must be magic.
And then atheists were complaining about that and religion and everything, because you know, they pretty much complain about everything (atheist here).
Matheus Ribeiro XD, I love your response, both enlightening and entertaining
Thank you! :)
Yeah I mean I love science but I also love God 😄
If you teach the full name like a spell it makes it fun to say "Plastoquinone Oxidoreductase"
It's one of four advanced light spells created by aurors during the rise of Voldemort to counteract his death eaters
+Estefan Olivares What are the other three mate?? I'd say one is Lumos, cept its not very helpful in catching death eaters
+Afshan Afzaly Lumos isn't a very effective offensive spell, but Ramos Tesla did expand the Lumos spell with Luminol which casts a light on the object you were looking for, a spell that isn't much used thanks to the Accio spell, but still useful if you forget what you were looking for. Chemiluminescence is a powerful area of effect spell that can burn and temporarily blind enemy wizards. Fiat Lux is the next spell and it fires a concentrated beam of light which can knock back an opponent back several meters. The final spell is Libertas Perfundet Omnia Luce. This spell may seem similar to a patronus in that it creates a light based object that the user can wield, but the wizard or witch can choose what to create and are not limited to animate objects
+Estefan Olivares you're my type of person.
+Estefan Olivares This took more brain power than the video XD
You're a legend.

In your animations, can you start to label the different things? They're kinda hard to follow when I have no idea what any of the littler orbs represent..
Who watched the whole thing like 3 times and still had no idea how photosynthesis works
I have a midterm in 1 HR and here I am
Anyone else cramming for a Biology Test tommorow on Calvin cycle and all things photosynthesis I hope this explains electron transport carriers for me

Never have I ever been so thankful for a video in my entire life. Thank you, Crash Course!
hey thank you so much for all the time, and passion, you put into these videos to help us all understand how these processes work! Just overall your animations and everything is great!
I was so excited, my biology teacher showed this to my class, and I literally fangirled because I love Hank. He's a really good teacher and I've just been having a lot of trouble this whole year trying to understand biology in general. Now I know that I really should just crash course my material before the test, because this is easier to understand.
I laughed so hard when he was talking about the 12 year old girls moms shouting "HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM?" LOL
lol same but its funnier for me cause ive been ubducted too but from what? KPOP THATS WHAT (my spelling is not the best)
Also like, the solution was to make a new child instead of getting the old one back. Like eh you win some you lose some.

I guess I can't blame the students who have been raised to believe that the only point of learning science is to do well on an exam. Can't expect much more from an educational method initially founded by a Greek schizophrenic and upheld by corrupt corporations such as Pearson.

Fascinating. Thanks, Hank Green. My students and I really enjoy watching your science videos.
Your sarcasm is absolutely off the charts... im loving it
well....I'm screwed for biology exam tomorrow.....
LastingHeart715 Hope it went well!
LastingHeart715 Give us an update!
u fail?
Might fail too
+LastingHeart715 In the same boat....

A?
FINALLY I WATCHED IT 34 TIMES FROM THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING except the parts after the co2 molecule gets stuck to that long chain thing.
I cant believe it. I dont understand myself. and btw i am NOT just a huge sac of chlorophyl.
I cant believe people keep thinking my chemicals are bad. You are all lucky you even have some energy you can digest and store as fat or use the carbs that we work so hard on maintaining and building for your quick sources of energy
As soon as i find a replacement for oxygen you humans will pay for this
AND WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP CUTTING THE TREES DOWN!!!
Why dont you humans just move to outerspace since you think your so much smarter than us. We were here first. btw and evolution is the only real creator.
~the Chloroplast
yes
MY TEST IS TOMORROW YOU'RE NOT WRONG AGGGG
YES my exam is tomorrow and im freaking tf out lol
You are awesome! I love the content! So through and enjoyable to watch as I review for my exam.
this is actually one of the best photosynthesis videos ever you just need to prep a little beforehand to understand it
4:55 the analogy with the mother chlorophyll freaking out about losing her electron gets kind of dark cause then to fix the problem she steals someone else's child.
Haha that's true
+1210Nique hahaha I was thinking the same thing
This video was a lot more enjoyable to watch when I didn't have a test the next day
Okay guys if you're craming (like I normally am when watching these) turn on closed captions (CC button, select your language), they help you focus and understand what he's saying and they're great for if you're writing notes too
Hope you do well on your test!
watching this the day before my ap bio exam : )
how does hank explain this to me in a way that i can understand in less then 15 min while my bio teacher has spent a total of 4 periods or 3 hours trying to teach us this but still no one has a clue what is going on? thank u so much this channel is saving my bio grade.
Im just tryna pass biology bruh. when did religion get involved in this?
Agreed lol. It doesn't matter what you believe. It the end their is only one answer for the exams.
We're about to take a test in about 30 minutes
May we RIP
How'd it go?
I love the comments on crash course, they are so relateble! XD

i have PreAP but i think it counts
1hr before a test and a beam of light magically appears and is now fixated on me. That miracle is Crash course
Wow--a lot more appreciation for plant chemistry (and physics!) as well as anatomy is being taught now. I'd expect to see this in advanced high school class or a college course for biology majors. 30 years ago it was only taught this well in my upper division college course.
This actually helped me soooo much I wasn't able to get it in my class because everything was so complicated but when I saw this it was colorful and you explained every step (though very fast hence the name crash course) and now I can go back to class and actually get what we're talking about
graduation speech: "I would like to thank spell-check and hank green"
My grade 12 biology teacher has been using your videos in class and it's amazing. I've been a fan of CrashCourse and SciShow for years so it really makes those vital classes more fun! Thanks you guys 😁💖🤜
The dislikes are GCSE students who dont get this because all they have to learn is carbon dioxide + water + light energy → carbohydrate + oxygen LOL
Could be people who are wondering why he said photosynthesis developed 450 million years ago in the intro. Hope that's not on anyone's test.
Only half way threw and already have a page of notes.
Also every time he says ps2 I think he mean the Sony gaming console
omg. that's awesome
a page? only a page? is your hand writting microscopic or something?
A moment of gratitude for Hank Green for the hope of a decent grade on my exam tomorrow.
Why do i even bother going to school? I spend hours listening to lectures and watching slides and not understanding a thing while crash course needs just 13 miserable minutes to do the job. Jeez
Haha lol I think the same
Because those lectures familiarize you with the material, even if you don't completely understand it. That's why videos like these seem so much more effective, it's because you're studying something that you've already been introduced to. I know it's easy to pass your professors off as being useless, but they deserve at least the credit of presenting the material to you.
Thank you Hank! This has helped me out a lot! I had to do a project about photosynthesis. I have never heard about this channel but now I will watch any video (if I even have the time LOL) of your channel, and I think your jokes are absolutely funny!
0:17-0:23 he admitted it I don't think even teachers would deny it
AP Bio midterm anyone? Lol I couldn't stand the textbook and this guy teaches better than my real teacher ever has!
Studying for my Biology Honors Semester Exam... Yay!? 0.o
God bless you CrashCourse for helping me grasp concepts that my teachers have failed to help me understand.
After such a speedy and full on lesson last week and then being told that I have a test tomorrow... the saviour that is crash course is here to save me... I will forever thankyou and all of your amazing videos!!!!!!!
