  • @zhanyichng6044
    @zhanyichng6044 2 місяці тому +2

    Absolutely loved how in-depth this goes for a youtube video. @Clockworkbio Slight inaccuracy at 18:16 though, singlet oxygen is not a free radical, it's in the name, because singlet "anything" means all of its electrons are paired up and the total spin of the molecule is 0. Helium is a singlet, so are your nice stable molecules like carbon dioxide, water, _etc._
    Why is this a problem for oxygen then?
    If you look at the molecular orbitals O2 has, the most stable electronic configuration O2 can achieve is a biradical, _i.e._, one unpaired electron in each of its two highest occupied molecular orbitals. This normal version of O2 is called triplet oxygen, and it's more stable, than say, singlet oxygen which has two electrons paired up in only *one* of its two highest occupied molecular orbitals. You might recognise this is just Hund's rules applied onto the molecular orbitals of O2.
    Anyway, triplet oxygen is a rather lousy free radical, broadly speaking, because each unpaired electron of the biradical is spread out on opposite ends of each oxygen atom, and when reacted with other non-radical molecules provides little overall stabilisation. This is also why we don't disintegrate into white powder in the atmosphere, which is 20 % of this biradical oxygen. Singlet oxygen, however, is a strong nucleophile, because the lone pair of electrons shoved into one single molecular orbital are now begging to be stabilised by forming a bond with another electrophilic species, for example, *anything* with conjugated double bonds (very common in your body, in plants, and in everything that's alive). This is the danger that plants face when singlet oxygen is produced.

  • @shardulkakade9365

    Why does the anthocyanin production ramp up with the first cold spell? Shouldn't it steadily increase before the photo enzyme breakdown when free chlorophyll can produce singlet oxygen and the intensity of light will also decrease with the first cold spell so the anthocyanins would be less useful around this time. Or is there a more important sub function at play here?

      New mango leaves are also purple when they are small, is that due to anthocyanins as well? Although there technically isn't a fall season here in mumbai, all the mango trees have these new red-purple leaves. Is this a different pathway followed by evergreen plants in other latitudes?

      @@Animationofficial-bc6ox if it is blue/red/purple and a plant odds are a type of anthocyanin is responsible. The word goes that mango saplings grow fast to have a shot at getting enough sunlight, and that as a consequence they don't yet have the nutrients to produce enough cholorofyll. Whether it is true is another question. It might just be selected for x traits and early reddish leaves are a harmless confounding variable.

    In regards to 25:29 X-linked dominant protoporphyria (XLDPP) is a condition that causes overproduction of Protoporphyrinogen a precursor to Heme. people with this condition are very sensitive to light cos. When Protoporphyrinogen is hit with ultraviolet radiation it will produce reactive oxygen species. Since there is an overproduction of protoporphyrinogen these people will produce even more reactive oxygen species causing them to develop painful blisters whenever they're exposed to sunlight. Since protoporphyrinogen contains a porphyrin ring like chlorophyll I wonder if something similar to what is happening in 17:34 fig 84: but in humans instead.

    I didn't expect to be a blubbering mess of tears at the start of this video.

    This video made me look up cold spat. A cold spat is a skin reaction to cold, while a cold spell is a period of cold weather.
    Really cool video, and clear explanation! 😌🍁✨

    This video is what I needed right now, Loved it 🥰by the way, you have done a very good job on this, really great work. I don't know if I can actually express how these videos can affect one who is in love with sciences and these tiny reasons. This video reminded me why I ever wanted to become a researcher in the first place. And man, the zest in your voice!!! It shows your interest and eagerness to share the information, which matched with my desire to listen. Simply amazing work!!

      The main goal of this video was getting it out as fast as possible. I cut a few corners to balance speed with quality -- but I really thought I had my typo review dialed in. EMBARRASSED. Thank you for pointing it out!

    This answers so many questions I've had since childhood that most sources of information reduce to an unsatisfying degree. No shade to the simple answers, but I've been craving something with this level of visual detail paired with the verbal explanation for a very, very long time. Thank you for this amazing piece of work on such a "simple" process that largely goes unnoticed by many ☘️🍂🍁🍃

    Also free chlorophyll does not create singlet oxygen via splitting water, it would require manganese cofactors and the OEC to do that

    Aside: could you fix the captions please? :) There's several missing segments and multiple typos (or straight up wrong words - I saw "crap" when it should have been "crepe").
