Teacher: Okay describe yourself Me: I am a whirlpool.

Me: came for a simple explanation Video: *metabolism can explain the origins of life*

This is literally one of the best researched and animated channels on youtube, this guys surely deserves more visualizations. I mean, whoever has a clue of how the animation process works knows that only just a few seconds of video take hours to draw

I have an AP Bio test on Monday and this is so helpful. Thank you so much for producing such interesting and high quality content! I’m going back and rewatching all your videos.

Truly a great video, deserves several orders of magnitudes more views. Like your future metabolism-first video w/ 40 billion views 😉 I'm sooooo looking forward to that video! Also beautiful animations. This is my favorite up and coming channel right now.

The attention-to-detail of the specific molecules, like ATP/ADP, and functional groups, all combining in the various reactions is impressive.

I'm looking forward to that "Metabolism-First Hypothesis" video

This is a fantastic video. It's one of those special videos that makes you go aha! and really drives home the concepts to ephasize how cool it really is. Thanks for making this, I love your content!

This video was amazing! I had been bingeing on videos explaining a zoomed in perspective of the citric acid cycle, and this video came at the perfect time to give a whole new perspective. I look forward to your future videos

I absolutely love this channel. You clearly put a ton of work into finding the best way to explain the subject: What to include and in what order; the analogies and visualisations. I didn't feel that this video had quite the usual clarity in what it was communicating but perhaps that is just because the metabolism is a messy thing to try to explain.

I'd really love to see animations and explanations of as much metabolic cycles as you can ( ones like 4:25 ) , in a side channel , with the final episode incorporating all animations into one , the metabolic pathway all animated , imagine how beautiful it would look

The metabolism is the powerhouse of the cell! Wait, did I get that right?

I think this is the utterly best sciencies KZfaq channel. It's extremely well executed, the narration is perfect, the scripts are beautifully written, and the communication is pristine - and stated clearly! I just love to watch the videos, even if they are about subjects I already know! Cheers, my friend, by your excellent work!

I freaking love the thumbnail with blue background. It just seems exciting like seeing energy beam weapons lol

Perfect video to watch while eating.

Woah Jon, another great video. If this is going to be a series on plausible pathways to abiogenesis then this is what I’ve been waiting for, for a long time 😃

Bravo dude... You animate this all by yourself which is awesome... I don't mind you taking long time to produce such quality material as long as you keep on doing it...

I just found this channel, and want to say Thank You. I will be sharing this with every young person I know.

Awesome as always, you guys are amazing I have learned so much from your channel. Keep the awesome videos coming, sharing this as usual.

This channel is so wonderful. You make such well informed videos that make hard topics easy to “digest” thank you

I really love your Structural chemicals animations!

You're just amazing Jon Perry. I was having trouble understanding this topic but you made it clear for me.

Thank you for this wonderful video! I just woke up to this video in my subscription box.

All I can say is that this channel deserve millions of subs.

love t his videos. very informative and super easy to understand. the animation is cool too!

someone : What are you? me : i am a whirlpool.

So interesting! I'm a simple guy, but curious; and I love to understand things a bit better. Thanks for your explanation and animation. Really good job!

Please post more often! We need more videos like this

Tummy: AHHHH FEED ME Me:Idc I rather starve

Thank you so much for the video ... 😊

This is excellent. I cannot imagine anyway in which I could have improved on it. Thank you!

Just met through this video and subscribed with the bell icon turned on right away! Great job!👏👏

Great video. I personally lost 66 lbs in 8 months with a high fat - low carb diet and metabolism boosting tips. Keeping metabolism high is crucial for weight loss: - Drink more water - Eat more protein - Resistance training - HIIT cardio - Get enough sleep Losing weight and keeping it off is incredibly easy if you know what you’re doing 🙂

so glad you came back

Superb !! Simply understood !

Love this series!

I'm so happy and thankful I found your channel

Dewd when you said we're constant movement of matter and energy i felt invincible!

You made it clear to me now ...thank you !

You are a great teacher. I've learned a lot. Thank you very much 🥰👍

Beautifully described

Clear easy to understand thank you ....

The summary at the end was really great

Thank you! This was very helpful.

This dudes voice is captivating, makes me want to learn more.

"You are what you eat". So, this is Basically True!

awsm one of the valuable channel in youtube amazing explanation waiting for next part

@6:01 39 billion views, eh? That's gonna be the most important scientific video in history! I look forward to it. :)

Thank you ! This video is stated clearly!!

Well done! This video is like a little class in how to properly describe a complicated subject.

Thank you Jon ❤❤❤ great video 😃

Top-notch animation!

Keep it up, this is great!

Hi John, do you teach course on how to make animations. I like your animations and would like to learn how you do it. If you could point me to other resources, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thank you for simplifying it

thank you much.

You're awesome Thanks

I’ve never thought of metabolism in that way! Thanks for the video!

Thank you.

Great video Jon!

Great Science Channel appreciation day!

nice and clear. thank you

Wow ...you bring the subject of biology to LIFE!

Creepy yummy at 3:35 even more reason to love this guy's approach to explaining things

This is amazing

Please don't ever stop making videos!

Me during this entire video: my body do that? Wow 😯

This is an amazing brief!

So great, these science channels are great!!

Thank you for your great work making Biology so interesting. Science is awesome. By the way, I was having a meal while watching, "un petit poutine" now I feel bad for my "metabolism" lol

Great job😊

great video, more information than most inner-city pubic schools would cover in a year. the government should have nothing to do with those institutions.

thank you so much very good video thank you

That was awesome

I can't wait for the next video... please don't let us wait!

very good explanation ❤

Super easy to understand

How very interesting!

Wow beautifully explained

Amazing explanation:)

great video, very educational ❤️

THAT WAS REALLY COOL!

A nice explanation

Excellent

I loved the animations

lmfaoooooo so this is what they mean by "you are what you eat"

Simple explanation

Nice video!

Omg I missed you guys so much

Came here cuz of Bio. You are better at explaining than my teacher

Where have u guys been. Nice to see u back

Superb

In this light, what does it mean to have a 'slow' or 'fast' metabolism?

Yay a new video

Awesome

Yes yes finally a vid from Stated Clearly

0:52 you mentioned that understanding chemics gets you a better underatanding of ourselves, life, and cosmos. Well i agree, i had the same idea about just focusing on the reproduction system and brain. Metabolism indeed too

Intelligent design 😎

Aewsome!

although it is of course only a metaphor, I would much rather prefer calling organisms something like a self-structuring whirlpool. The importance of physical processes (besides chemical reactions) that enable life are just as important as the chemical processes. The nanoscale is in this ideal niche where discrete & continues mix very nicely together. E.g. one can have discrete building blocks like nucleotides, amino acids or lipids and assemble them into structures that are rather continue like DNA/RNA, proteins & membranes as in, you can't describe the structure by only knowing how its building blocks work. Yet these macroscale processes allow for discrete effects e.g. the expression of mRNA, a protein tagging other proteins with a phosphorous group or methylation of the DNA. These processes have direct effects on the functioning of an organism, without finding their foundation in chemical reactions. I could talk far more about non-chemical processes that are essential but I'm sure you get my point. As such, limiting the perspective of what it means to be alive in a scientific sense to only the metabolism is, in my opinion, a too narrow perspective on the matter. It is, however of course, a piece of the puzzle. I just hope people will realize there is more to it than (just) chemistry.
