You are cells. Your muscles, organs, skin and hair. They are in your blood and in your bones.
Cells are biological robots. They don’t want anything, they don’t feel anything. They are never sad or happy. They just are, right here, right now. They are as conscious as a stone or a chair or a neutron star. Cells just follow their programming that has been evolving and changing for billions of years, molded by natural selection.
They are impossible machines and yet, here they are, driven entirely by the fundamental forces of the universe. The smallest unit of life, right at the border where physics becomes biology.
Sometimes, to get a truer understanding of how amazing something is, you need to hold your breath and dive in really deep. So, what are cells and how do they work?

I’m in a college biochemistry class and we had to memorize the structures for the amino acids, I loved how the little animated pictures for each amino acid actually resembled the real structure for each, fantastic job on the artwork for this one!!
Why wasn't Taurine on the list at 2:31 ?
@@Stickers2Go taurine is a naturally occuring amino acid... it isn't one of the fundamental 20 amino acids made by the organisms.
@@hardikb15 ok thank you
I was going to say this. They're so cute! And they even included selenocysteine, which scientists only recently discovered is used in the human body. My class never even talked about it.
Omg me too! And the glucose breaking even had 10 steps which is how many glycolysis has
As a biologist I can only say that this video is a masterpiece! The animation work is done beautifully to show how complex "the language of life" really is.
With my limited knowledge on biology, whatever I studied in school, the video might seem to be just an overview but the animations that were going on displayed a far more detailed way of how each mechanism goes on, great effort by the team
would you still attribute all of this to coincidence?
@@JawadBsaileh of course not coincidence, natural selection is iterative and “learns” by progressive encoding. The “intelligence” is from the bottom up.
@@JawadBsaileh It is awe inspiring! Especially if you dive deeper into the subject. I attribute it to billions of years of evolution, a time scale just as awe inspiring and beyond our comprehension.
@@Vector_Ze Ehh
This channel overall deserves an award for science communication. The complex topics that get broken down in a way so that nearly anyone can understand the basics of said topic is an amazing feat.
yeah, but they cant say GIBBERISH properly... its Gibberish.. not gibberish like he said.. with a small g..
@@sheepthehack that's what you've decided to nitpick? does that deconstruct the rest of the video, because a pronunciation wasn't up to par?
WOW, i had to think back to what was going on in this vid it was a while back.. ok.. so, u might think that this was a petty thing to bring up.. and in general on any other video it really would have been, but what this speaks to is that this person is a literal mouth piece.. i mean.. how much can u trust someone that literally just reads shit from a prompter? I didnt actually say that the rest of the vid was invalid.. tho i see ur point on the attitude.. i just feel that if something as simple as finding out how all words are actually pronounced in ur script slips by u then what else have u cut corners on? it also speaks to the fact that he prob didnt write it himself either.. but yeah i get ur point.. in general its a silly thing to nitpick! Have a great christmas and thanks for replying.@@artezui

"....but if you look inside of what you really are, you just discover almost indescribable complexity, a beautiful language of life" This made me rethink things from a different perspective, thank you
Space and molecular biology, two of the most fascinating topics one can immerse himself into. Keep up the amazing work.
This video allowed me to confirm the accuracy of this channel's content. I've studied molecular oncology for 13 years and have a PhD in Human Biology and Genetics and can say that this channel is the way to communicate science to everyone. Biology is unbelievably complex, and more I deepen knowledge into specific molecular mechanisms, and more I discover how much we don't know about it. This makes me appreciating the depths of other fields, incentivizing learning over creating superficial opinions. The superficiality by which COVID vaccines have been misjudged by the people not in the field, reminded me the importance of education and to teach critical thinking in schools.
The level of anti-intellectual movement in the US(though lower, it also exists in other Western nations) is worrying. The right-wing media joining forces with anti-intellectual movement and traditional antivaxxers created even more antivaxxers whose results is the unbelievably high preventable death toll in the US. Let's hope it changes for the better
@@hydrolifetech7911 while science and religions had contrasting opinions in the past, science will have a hard time getting through politics in the future and could get weaponized. Although we should admit religion and politics have been one institution for many countries..
@@hydrolifetech7911 So leftists saying there are more than two genders is not anti-intellectual? You can say some right-wing ideas are wrong but at least they are not treated as fact like left-wing political ideology
@@Mark-wx8ne but there are in fact more than two genders tho, not everything is binary like you think. Life is sophisticated and doesn't follow a clear pathway
@@meenispham there are only multiple genders when you deconstruct what a gender is. this is a recent sociological idea rather than fact. it's probably best to say that in your OPINION and definition of gender there exists more genders. You would of course be wrong in the canonical way gender is defined but I'm not here to change your mind
As a Microbiologist, this video is amazingly simplified with the essence untouched and with a clear understanding of how it works. Considering how extremly complex is this, it's an incredible work!
Cool to know a microbiologist approves
It's a really effective work of propaganda for the materialist lie for sure.
@@aclark903 What do you believe in?
@@Jaredkprimalhealth God. Don't you?
@@aclark903 I mean, the existence of this microscopic World doesn't mean God doesn't exist. If anything, it makes God even more admirable that he created such a complex Universe.
Just finished third year of my analytical biochemistry undergrad degree. It has taken about that many years to understand these concepts to a sufficient level for my field. It always makes me a bit sad that this beautiful and important process will not get seen by most people. Obviously this is a simplified version but I really hope people appreciate this video and that it is a look into a mystery still being uncovered
I really needed this. Was feeling down and suicidal about personal issues, then stumble upon Film theory coma video and that sad story makes me appreciate life on a emotional sense, and this video helps me appreciate life on a technical and complex sense. Never thought about how billions of tiny robots are working endlessly to keep me alive. Can't let them down like that.
Best wishes for you, I hope you can overcome this difficult phase
If you're still looking for things to stumble on about life, then I'd suggest giving a game called Outer Wilds a go. It's personally given me a lot to think about, even though I've never bought the game and had only experienced it through other's playthroughs - which, by the way, I don't recommend, since doing so spoils the puzzles that the game consists of. Aside from that, I hope that you have better days ahead of you. From one clump of tiny robots to another.
So glad that you've now recognized how much LIFE LOVES YOU! Life loves you on a deep level that it does everything to keep you not just alive but live well & healthy. Keep on! I'm cheering for you!! Sending all the love! 💞🥰 And I love this video. The creators do such an amazing job!!

Welcome to Kurzgesagt, I hope you enjoy your stay.
What are you even talking abt?
can i ask you a question i want to be a marine biologist im in the last year of school so next year i will go to college so can you give me any tips or what the requirments are for me to become a marine biologist and which country is best in studying biology and best certified please and thank you
@@3YAD That's a super vague set of questions, amounting to "HALP, wan B marine biologist", but maybe you'll get more back than I anticipate.
And they also put the link of sources for their material in the description ❤🥺.
If I was a high-school science teacher, I'd consider making my class preparation loading up Kurzgesagt videos and pressing play whenever possible. For years this channel has been expanding the art of making science thought-provoking, memorable and easily understood.
Nice name lol. My middle name starts with G 😂
I am a high school biology teacher and literally always (if available) use Kurzgesagt videos to introduce each topic. Then we can break up the video and talk, in detail, about how it all works. The amount of dedication put into each video is insane and they are the best introduction I've found to a class.
The only problem is, students are, in most of cases, dim-witted sloths that just want to end their biology - as well as any other - studies as soon as possible. And not even Kurzgesagt videos (which I do find splendid indeed) can change their mind. According to my experience both as a high-school and university student myself and a school teacher, at least.
It definitely is a useful tool for video learning, and also hands on stuff and other ways of learning can help for different people to make the abstract real
@@SuurTeoll but there’s no harm in trying ain’t it? Don’t sell yourself, and others short, cause if there’s even a slight bit of chance in triggering motivation and inspiration to those aforementioned students, then it’s always worth trying. As a STEM student, even though my heart and interests don’t deeply reside in the world of science and everything in-between, kurzgesagt always manages to strengthen my deep admiration for the art inside the subject! With enough love and passion, you can make something-even boring biology lessons-into something *beautiful* ! Case in point: this video. You’ve mentioned being a school teacher at this current time? Well, I’m sure there’s probably going to be super bored and uninterested kids out there despite how amazing a kurzgesagt video would be to us, but please don’t let this discourage you because if there’s even at least one who’s fascinated, then you’ve done a huge accomplishment as their teacher and educator!
Am I the only person that cried a little bit because of how beautifully life was explained in this video?

So I'm not the only one ToT
Only 3 min in so I'll let ya know...
@@mikeygraves16 You've been watching this video up to 3 minutes for 2 weeks!?
watching this as a biomedical sciences student adds a layer to it really.Awesome work to simplify something so incredibly complex that we still don't know all about it.
I am not exaggerating when I say this, I promise you. Kurzgesagt has changed how I view learning as a whole. When I was younger I couldn't care less about nature, space, biology, and anything that required learning. This was partially because of my ADHD. I found this youtube channel about a year or two ago and it has changed that entirely. Kurzgesagt sparked a certain curiosity towards the world I never really knew before. This may also be because I simply got older, but Kurzgesagt helped. I live life, space and the mystery of all of that as a whole. I mainly want to go to college for art stuff, but I am tempted to also dive into any kind of science. As stupid and overly ambitious as this sounds it's true. Kurzgesagt is an underrated, inspirational work of art.
Make sure you dust off your math skills before taking science classes in college. A lot of classes will want you to be sharp with your algebra, maybe calculus, before getting started. Obviously it depends on the class, though.
This channel sparked my interest in space- currently I want to go to college for astrophysics
@@Salteee I hate space
Great comment - except for the "as stupid as this sounds" part; please don't unnecessarily put yourself down. I love STEM and I am so happy when I hear someone else is getting interested in it. Besides, the more you learn, the more you find out there is to know, and there are lots of ways for art and STEM to inspire each other. For example, Hedy Lamarr used her experience with the piano to inspire her invention of frequency hopping, a technology that latter became the basis of secure wifi.
@@kaylabrand7403 that is really interesting. I may check that out some more as I also love music, lol.
As a normal person who breathes for living and not a biologist/doctor, this video is really very informative. Also i loved the animation.
I want to breathe for a living!
Damn, wish I could breathe
😂😂😂
A normal person would watch this and see an informative and interesting video, a somewhat distracted mind would think of bladerunner when you hear cells so much
I like how this implies biologists/doctors do something else to stay alive that isn't breathing.
Fantastic job in breaking down such complex concepts and principles of Chem and Biochem to the laymen. Finished Chemistry in Uni but currently working in business and this made me miss the magic of Science so much. Honestly it made me teary on the last bit while having goosebumps. Fantastic work as always guys!
So grateful for the work you do, communicating and educating on such complex issues in an accessible way. When a video starts and I get the feeling that it's going to be a good one, I bounce excitedly in anticipation, and rock happily as I go through it, back and forth until I'm sure I got it. Nothing like understanding our existence a little better to make life more bearable and even more exciting. And this adds a joyous mindfck to the existential crisis playlist. You guys are my favorite channel. Thank you so much
I love how they are honest and confident enough to admit when they don't know a step or two. That attitude is incredibly important in science. Great video!
Science is essentially about admiting what you do not know.

@@nexuscross3233 And then say "let's find out!".
I am convinced that when the narrator of In a Nutshell says, "There are steps we don't understand yet," the WE is referring to humanity as a whole, not the in a nutshell team.
"If you look outside at the incredible dimension and scale of space, a place where forever is a real thing, it is almost impossible not to feel a bit small. Not special. But if you look inside, into what you really are, you just discover almost indescribable complexity, the beautiful language of life." This quote is pure genius - it captures the contrast between feeling small in the universe, yet containing a world of complexity within ourselves. It's almost like it brings balance to these two perspectives that I've felt at different times. It's a perspective I've never heard before, and it feels almost groundbreaking. Whoever wrote this quote has captured something truly special.
I honestly teared up a bit at this. It's such a beautiful sentiment.

This is a wonderful coincidence. I just finished my semester finals on Human Genetics yesterday which had all the topics covered in this video from what amino acids are to how they are made from DNA and how they are responsoble for most of us. I enjoyed studying this with my friend because it is just beautiful. Kurzgesagt drops a video covering the same topic and illustrates it in a much more beautiful way than my prof. Definitely sharing this one. I loved this one especially because it means something to me.

How elegant and simple this analogy is for such a complex topic. Not only I find Kurzgesagt videos amazingly educative but also deeply moving. More than teach your audience, I believe you inspire it.
This is the video that I've been waiting for so long. People just don't talk about Cell Biology enough when in fact, this is arguably the most diverse and fascinating field of biology. It underlies almost every thing in biology, from immunology to developmental biology to neuroscience. As a cell biologist, I feel incredibly proud to be part of this beautiful field.
@@jaypeterson9256 A video's title and thumbnail greatly affect how well it performs statistically on youtube (think clickbait, etc), so many content creators will change out thumbnails and titles and eventually stick with the one that does the best.
@@jaypeterson9256 I think it causes confusion to people as the mundane people don't immediately link the logic of cells to something similar to a code for a computer, albeit it's much more complex.
Biology teachers are going to be using this video for years and years to come, I'm certain of it. I have a bachelor's in biology and now I'm in med school - but you just explained what took me years to understand in less than 12 minutes. I'm blown away by how much love and thought went into this.

Hey Alexandria, I’m about to enter college, with a major in biology and hopes of going to med school. How possible is it for me to maintain a 3.8+ gpa?
@@ibraheemafzal2436 it depends a bit on your natural level of intellect, but that really is just your "starting point" and some/most of that can be overcome through habits and diligence. In fact, I would say that discipline and diligence is more important than raw intellect, and I say that as someone who did poorly my first years in college despite being highly intelligent. I hadn't developed good habits and was immature, and people who were not as "intelligent" as I was (no insult to them, as they were still above average) but with better self-discipline and better personal habits and organization were able to achieve much better results than I did. Staying organized and managing your time effectively will be a key. You will have to work hard, but in a way that doesn't burn you out (you need breaks from time to time, etc). Self-discipline to, for example, get the homework done before doing major leisure activities. I'm not saying you can't relax a bit after getting home from class, to "decompress" and relax the mind before jumping back into studying. That's an important part in my opinion, actually, as going straight into homework directly after a long day of class can accelerate burnout. A short break to relax the mind or have a meal, then re-engage with the subject, works just fine. Just make sure to re-engage and do the homework or subject review before going out with friends for the evening or getting stuck in a video game for the rest of the night, etc. Don't be hesitant to ask for help or tutoring if you are stuck on a concept or aspect of a class. It will likely be difficult to maintain a high GPA, especially as you get into more complex areas of study, but it is possible. The resulting solid grasp of the material and improved habits that you develop will benefit you far beyond the academic setting. Best of luck!
maybe it's because you went more in-depth than this video?
this is extremely simplified, but yea, it does explain many of the fundamental parts of the subject
"If you look outside the incredable dimensions and scale of space, a place where forever is a real thing, its almost impossible not to feel an bit small, but if you look inside into what you really are, you discover almost indescribable complexity. The beautiful Language of Life." This can be summarised into 1 word : Equilibrium
"But if you look inside yourself you just discover indescribable complexity". We needed to hear this.
I am a cellular and developmental biologist, taking masters developmental genetics and performing research on regenerative medicine. It took years of intense math, chemistry, physics, and genetics before we began discussing protein folding in 3d space, overall behavior in four dimensions, and how we can start to model them bioinformatically (6:23); however, the subject is introduced in 12 minutes flawlessly, and could be shown to middle school students. Well done!
I would not call myself a biologist if I didn’t finish my graduate degree. I’m in a PhD program now and still considered a student. There’s a huge ass difference between a finished masters program and the stuff you do during your PhD studies. Don’t embarrass yourself with all these fluff words
@@Riggiditydiggity Edit - these terms just denote what types of biology I've studied - eg, I study developmental genetics and cellular biology, as opposed to neurobiology or zoology, ecology, etc - because the term Biologist, at least where I am from, is vague.
@@Riggiditydiggity You can be a student and Biologist, at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive.

I rarely comment on anything on KZhead, but I felt motivated to do so here. I used to be a Biology and Earth Science teacher and now I lead a small team of educators for a conservation organisation. I am the only one with secondary and tertiary teaching experience, so I'm currently running staff PDs to upskill my department. So far I've taken everyone through the very basics of organic chemistry, all the way up to rRNA and the beginning of cell structure. This video is beautiful, brilliantly written and so incredibly timely for me. I have used some of the very same metaphors myself. Two of my core staff are going on leave the day after tomorrow and we won't be able to do any PD for two weeks. I am showing them this tomorrow afternoon before they go on holiday. Thank you for making science awe-inspiring for millions of people.
That's awesome of you to invest in your team like that.
“How dumb things are smart together” blew my mind, and the analogy with the ant and cells was perfect for someone like myself with a non-science background to understand. It would be great if you could cover complexity theory
I have been watching for years, and this is definately one of the best videos yet! We need more videos around this area! Breaking down how to human body works in such a small scale is just mind-blowing. Thank you!
Never seen biology explained this way. Being able to explain something clearly using metaphors shows great understanding of the underlying concept and fundamental idea rather than just the subject specific knowledge.

Every so called "scientist" that does not see that the universe is a living thing is just a mechanic. His mind can only process the obvious parts of life before his eyes. Everything is alive. Life does not end at the other side of a cell's membrane. A city is an organism too. There is no isolated system in the universe. It's systems within systems, overlapping each other. God is life itself. Everything in life is connected. We are part of a greater being. Religions are just different languages, they are an attempt to communicate this insight to other humans. With science getting more and more of the picture (macrocosm, microcosm), and people getting educated about it, it will be easier and easier for everyone to understand it.

As a biologist/biochemist this video is such a beautiful reminder of why biochemistry and microbiology captured my imagination - I have never seen the language of life explained so elegantly, clearly, accurately and beautifully as this video… it has to be the best video you’ve produced yet (and that is something given how high a bar your videos set!)
I agree - this is one or even the best of them.

People need to understand that it takes a lot of time to get this understanding of biology and "language of life" even while studying biology, biochemistry, medicine etc. As a med student I think this video should be in the curiculum for the first years (premed first year). Even though I knew all about that, seeing it with this animation and explanation made me understand better. I thought it was because of my lack of knowledge but seeing all the great biologist and biochemist also commenting on that really shows how great this video is. Thank you Kurzgesagt!

I had a period when I was interested in biochemistry and got all A's in biology but nothing I'd learned at that time made me awe as much as this video's explanation!
I wish all my lectures throughout college could’ve been this beautiful. It’s so useful to see these concepts animated like this!
Agreed! I love Kurzegagt makes its merch amazingly
You'd think your tuition money would provide you with this level of details but nope. Maximum profit and screw the students.
@@TechnologistAtWork oh no, my tuition definitely provided much much much more detail and a sufficient level of hand-holding. It just wasn’t as colorful and entertaining. These animations are “in a nutshell” and in no way comprehensive. This video is pretty much course introduction, maybe a couple lectures worth of basic information.
@@flyings.monster6845 I was talking about the animations, not the educational value.
"We still don't know what life is" I would say we still haven't decided what life is... I mean, aren't we kind of writing the book on life as we observe life? Seems a bit paradoxical, but it also seems to be the only way. We are the universe trying to understand itself.
How come I never once in my life looked at it this way. Wow Edit: Obviously there are fallacies and contradictions in this idea, which many people rightly pointed out. But as an abstract thought out of the realm of logic, this does seem like a beautiful and surreal perspective, atleast to me. Like you run a simulation and the program starts to alter itself to understand itself and it's environment.
The universe created humans in order to understand itself. Okay... but why the universe was created in the first place?
I was literally just listening to the song "Insane" a minute ago.
Maestro longaniza
Not sure what you're trying to say. Why are you framing your proposition as a question, to which you assume we agree? I don't know what book we are "kind of writing," as you say...so I have to say, no we aren't...and thus, no, I can certainly not see why it's "the only way" nor do I even see how it's a paradox...at best, it's just a little ironic, and it's certainly not something you can use to illustrate a profound dynamic between humans and the entire universe. Yes, it's true humans do not have a great understanding about what life is...but that hard fact says NOTHING about life, the universe, and everything...it ONLY says something about humans' level of understanding.
I have seen almost every video of yours, and this one might be my favourite. You are doing the best work on the internet, no joke.
It's a freaking miracle that most people's cells, their bodies, just work. It would be like if you threw a million Legos onto the floor, it assembled itself and got a job without your input.
Almost like a creator existed
@@Bacon2000.Delusion at its finest
@@reapertown9267 yup, it's pretty delusional to think the exact instructions on how to create a protein (aka RNA) somehow self assembled itself (which is the leading therapy : RNA world)
Never realized how beautiful rules were. Without it, you don’t have physics, life, art, and more
It's crazy how such complex tasks make simple things happen, and it is barely noticeable because of how quick it happens Edit: Actually should be complex tasks coming from simple things occurring instead of "complex tasks make simple things happen".
no it takes 3 seconss
Other way around
@@AverageAlien damn an alien! How is it being an alien? Also I guess it is the other way around? A lot of cases it can be both.
Rather simplicity gives rise to complexity. It only goes back to simple because you elevated the POV.
@@TurinTuramber what the fuck are you talking about
As a computer science major, this video truly made it seem like our billions or trillions transistors still couldn’t replicate this language of life.
When you compare the number of amino acids, and all the different ways they can interact to the humble binary 1/0, you can see the order of magnitude of difference in complexity.
@@user-pn4py6vr4n EXACTLY!
Well, maybe one day we can make biological computers or something
@@user-pn4py6vr4n All that complexity can still be achieved with 0s and 1s. You just need them to be sufficiently many.
Turing machine state space blows up in complexity in the same way
This channel brings me from the biggest things observable by mankind, to the smallest things observable by mankind. Makes me feels really insignificant but also mind numbingly unique. Really great contents to inspire society in the time when information is dominated with just gibberish and numbing mind kind of information.
This video is incredible. Thank you for all your hard work to communicate these concepts in a way that's meaningful, easy to grasp, and mind blowing all at the same time. I want to show this video to all the people who struggle to understand how unanimated molecules could lead to whole, conscious, living beings; in other words, how a dog could have evolved from a rock (their words) over billions of years.

My kids are still young and not really good in English so I made a translation to Ukrainian for them and read it simultaneously with this video. Kids enjoyed it so I decided to share it here. It broke down to the same sequences as original English subtitles in the video. 1/2 Ви - клітини. Ваші м'язи, органи, шкіра та волосся. Вони в вашій крові та кістках. Клітини - це біологічні роботи. В них немає ані бажань, ані відчуттів. Вони ніколи не сумують, та й не розважаються. Вони просто є, саме тут, саме зараз. Вони так само притомні, як то каміння, стілець, або нейтрона зірка. Клітини всього лише виконують програму, яка еволюціонувала і змінювалась протягом мільярдів років, обумовлена природнім відбором. Вони неможливі машини, але ж ось вони, рухомі лишень самими фундаментальними силами всесвіту. Найменші одиниці життя, як раз на межі де фізика стає біологією. Іноді, для того, щоб по-справжньому осягнути те, на скільки дивовижним будь-що насправді є, вам необхідно затримати дихання і зануритись дуже глибоко. То що ж насправді таке ці клітини та й як вони працюють? КОРОТШЕ КАЖУЧИ Гляньте на кімнату в якій ви зараз знаходитесь. Давайте заповнимо її до самого верху трильйонами піщинок, мільярдами рисових зерняток, сотнями тисяч виноградинок, кількома тисячами яблук та дюжиною кавунів. Саме так виглядають з середини ваші клітини. Кількісно, вони майже цілковито складаються з молекул води - те, що пісок. Вода створює в клітині желеподібне середовище, що забезпечує можливість іншим частинкам вільно рухатись всередині. Майже всі інші частинки, як то рис і фрукти - це білки. Загально, декілька мільярдів, (Більшість речей показаних у цьому відео набагато складніші в реальному житті. Ми ілюструємо їх символічно, для ясності візуального оповідання.) більше 10,000 різновидів, в залежності від функції клітини. Ваші клітини в сутності - білкові роботи, так само і життя, як таке. Насправді, всі щільні, не жирові частини вашого тіла, майже цілковито збудовані з білків - навіть ваші кістки. Білки - це мертві частинки, які змушують життя відбуватися. Як же ж це працює? МОВА ЖИТТЯ Клітинам необхідно робити багато складних речей, щоб залишатися живими: Поглинати їжу та скидати відходи, зростати і будувати структури, уникати небезпеки або реагувати на стимули, робити копії самих себе і так далі. Все це відбувається завдяки використанню мови життя. Словами цієї мови є саме білки. Ось стисле пояснення того, як ця мова працює: Все це починається з імінокислот, дрібнесеньких органічних молекул. Вони є алфавітом мови життя. Існує 21 різна амінокислота, як різні букви. Амінокислота А, амінокислота Б, В і так далі. Якщо зберете разом 50 амінокислот, вони сформують білок, який в мові життя уособлює слово. А якщо ви зберете разом багато таких білкових слів, то вийде речення, яке зветься біологічний шлях. Давайте максимально спростимо і скажімо, наприклад, вашій клітині необхідно розчинити цукор за допомогою мови життя. Вона візьме амінокислоти відповідні до літер р, о, з, ч, и, н, и, т, та и, щоб сформувати білкове слово "розчинити". Далі, складе це слово з іншими білковими словами, щоб сформувати біологічний шлях "речення", яке означає "розчинити цукор". Насправді, ця мова життя настільки складна, що не піддається уяві. Вам необхідно знати приблизно 8000 слів для того щоб вправно розмовляти людською мовою. Але мова життя нараховує щонайменше 20,000. І в той момент, як українське слово має в середньому 7 літер, людські білки складаються в середньому з 375 амінокислот. А найдовший білок має більш ніж 30,000! Крім того, клітинам необхідно виконувати тисячі дій в кожний окремий момент! Якщо вони колись припиняють розмовляти мовою життя, то помирають. Добре. Але ж, як бездумні клітини розмовляють настільки складною мовою? Давайте зануримось ще трішки глибше. Існує 21 амінокислота, які можна складати, утворюючи білки. Та білки створені з десятків та сотень, та тисяч амінокислот. Для людського білка середньої довжини в 375 амінокислот, ви отримаєте приголомшливі 6.8 * 10⁴⁹⁵ ступені можливих варіантів, які здатна створити ваша клітина. В квадрильйон гугол, гугол, гугол, гугол разів більше ніж атомів у всесвіті. Більшість з цих можливих варіантів білків негодящі. Так само, як і в людській мові, переважна більшість випадкових комбінацій літер є звичайна тарабарщина. Таким чином вам необхідно знати які слова, які білки, є мовою, щоб розмовляти нею правильно. А це вже робота вашої ДНК - довгої послідовності інструкцій. Якщо розплутати ДНК окремої клітини, її довжина складе приблизно 2м. Всі ДНК вашого тіла, з'єднані в єдину довгу стрічку, дісталися б до Сонця і повернулися на Землю більш ніж 20 разів! Приблизно 1% вашої ДНК складається з генів, які в сутності білкові словники, що містять всі слова мови життя, якою розмовляють ваші клітини. Але в той самий час гени є інструкціями з будування для всіх білків, що необхідні вашій клітині для функціонування. Решта вашої ДНК скоріш за все не є непридатною, а у своїй основі, типу набір правил. Щось на кшталт книги з граматики мови життя: Які білки треба створити та в який момент? Як багато їх вам знадобиться? Які саме білкові слова використовуються разом, та чому? Добре. Літери, слова, речення, словник та граматика. Але ж звісно все це лише метафори для чогось приголомшливо складного. Давайте зануримось ще трішки глибше, щоб хоч злегка осягнути реальність.
2/2 ЯК МЕРТВІ БІЛКИ СТВОРЮЮТЬ ЖИТТЯ Тепер, коли ми вже знаємо основні принципи, є можливість збагнути, як мертві речі створюють разом життя. І для цього нам знадобиться фундаментальна сила всесвіту - Електромагнетизм. Елементарні частинки, які створюють атоми, які в свою чергу створюють амінокислоти, мають різні заряди, які притягують або відштовхують одна одну. Всі 21 амінокислоти мають злегка відмінні заряди. Деякі більш негативні, інші - більш позитивні. Коли ваші клітини будують білки, вони складають різні амінокислоти в ланцюжки, такі собі довгі струни. Тепер, завдяки відмінності зарядів різних амінокислот, що використані, ці струни починають складатися самі з собою. Цей процес складання настільки складний, що ми все ще повністю не зрозуміли, як конкретно він працює. Але, якщо стисло, то одновимірна струна стає тривимірною структурою. Білки як такі, це тривимірні шматочки пазлу, з душе особливою формою. В світі білків, форма - це все. Тому що їх тривимірна форма визначає, які саме зони білка яким чином заряджені і це обумовлює те, як він може взаємодіяти з іншими білками! Всі ці різноманітно заряджені шматочки пазлів можуть схоплюватись разом, або відштовхувати один одного. Коли вони схоплюються, їх заряд змінюється, що може змусити їх змінити форму, що в свою чергу перетворює їх на новий білок, новий інструмент, який може робити нові речі. Ось що робить білки такими неймовірно могутніми. Ви можете робити практично все що заманеться з ними! Вони можуть з'єднуватись, як Лего, щоб створювати складні структури. Вони можуть розбирати речі. Вони можуть формувати складні мікро машини, які використовують енергію для виконання роботи. І, можливо, найбільш приголомшливе - вони можуть передавати інформацію. Уявімо, що токсична хімічна сполука потрапила до вашої клітини. Може існувати білок, необхідної форми, щоб схопитися з цим токсином. Якщо такий білок знайде цей (Це зображення є гіпотетичним прикладом можливого шляху) токсин, він змінить свою форму. В цій новій формі він тепер може з'єднатися з іншим білком, що знов змінить його форму. Цей новий білок активує мікро машину, яка напряму зв'язана з вашою ДНК, щоб віддати наказ на виготовлення особливого білка, який діє, як антидот до того токсину. Цей каскад взаємодії і є шлях про який ми розповідали раніше, речення в мові життя. Таким чином без жодної активної думки, білки вирішили проблему і врятували життя клітини. В реальності подібні шляхи можуть складатися з десятків та сотень кроків. Те як функціонує життя є неймовірно вражаюче. Якимось чином, неймовірно складні взаємодії між безглуздими та мертвими білками створюють менш безглузді і зовсім не мертві клітини. Десь тут і відбувається життя. Але ж ми все ще не знаємо, що таке життя. ЯК БЕЗГЛУЗДІ РЕЧІ СТАЮТЬ РОЗУМНИМИ РАЗОМ. Нам знадобиться інша аналогія, то давайте поговоримо про мурах. Мурахи та клітини поділяють фундаментальну якість - вони максимально безглузді. Єдина мураха буде марно ходити колами. Але як ви зберете багато мурах разом вони обмінюються інформацією і роблять дивовижні речі. Будують складні структури, самоорганізуються, піклуються про виводок або атакують ворогів. Незважаючи на те, що безглузді поодинці, разом вони стають чимось більшим. Цей феномен зустрічається усюди в природі і зветься емерджентність. Це спостереження того, як системи мають властивості та здібності, якіх не мають їх окремі частини. Саме так все в вашому тілі працює. Ваші клітини - це мішечки з білками, керовані біохімією. Але разом ці білки створюють живу істоту, яка здатна робити значні речі. Клітини це безглузді роботи, які дурніші за мурах. Але більшість з них діє разом, створюючи спеціалізовані тканини та системи органів. Від м'язів, які спонукають битися ваше серце, до мозкових клітин які дають вам можливість мислити. Якщо ви поглянете назовні у неймовірні простори та масштаби космосу, місці де вічність реальна, майже не можливо буде не відчути себе дрібним. Не особливим. Але якщо подивитесь всередину, в те, що ви насправді є то відкриєте для себе майже неосяжну складність, прекрасну мову життя.

I love how you guys always manage to make stuff I normally overlook actually interesting to learn. I’m glad I found this channel all that while back when I did, for all of this content is completely worth it.
You ARE an entire universe. ^^ That is the beauty and paradox of life - we are extremely small and utterly insignificant, yet so special and unique. We humans are the only species on this planet who can build tools so powerful that we can look almost to the beginning of time - the JWST can look so far into time and space, it can see the universe at an age of mere 260m years after the Big Bang. I find comfort in that and it makes me 100% member of team human. :)
Finally I get it... how this world works. Just amaizing vid - graphics and description of it is very simple (which means is very good). Great work! Дякую!
This video reminded me of my first college class about what DNA Polymerase really is and how it actually works in 3d space. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.
Im 32 and just started college after not being in school in 11 years. I've gone back to be an RN and just finished my first exam in anatomy and physiology. Chapter 2 and 3 were about microbiology and some chemistry (which I can't get enough of). I'm highly considering a life long career in microbiology or biochemistry. I can sit around trees watching birds pass by myself while in complete awe as i see the world like i've never seen before. This video is really speaking to me right now. As always, great video!
I am 32 as well and started my academic journey a couple of years ago, still way later than the average person. It wasn't easy but I sticked to it and amazing things happened. I wish you the very same and more. Good luck!
Science is far more healthy and satisfying career than clinical healthcare. If the work makes you happy, go for it.

This video's simple in depth explanation of a bonkers topic so effortlessly is really stunning me right now. Hell, biology, organic biology to boot, makes so much more sense to me now!!!
It astounds me how you guys always manage to explain mind-breakingly complex things in a simple way with fun and useful graphics, such that even a kid can thoroughly enjoy it - all without it ever feeling unnatural or like you're talking down. Videos like these make me wish we prioritized education so, so much more than we currently do. I can't even imagine what the world would look like if we taught our kids using engaging and fun materials that are easy to understand like these videos are. Instead of boring them to tears and stiflng any desire to explore interesting topics, it'd be amazing if the resources were there to really engage with each kid - to let them explore their individual passions instead of cramming pre-packaged lesson plans down their throats.
I completely agree with you and really hope we see that future
well said i agree
I hope you realize that by providing this education it makes people in general more likely to pursue a career path in these fields because the topics are so interesting. Any advancements in the future will therefore have been directly or indirectly caused by you :) whether someone learned from you or interacted with someone that learned from you. Thank you for your work :) Please keep it up 💪

A truly stunning video, I loved the visuals on this one!! Great work, thanks for creating this interesting videos!
I literally cried watching this… it’s so beautiful that everything in „life“ is so complicated from far above but so tiny and simple at its core. My dream is that one day all humans come together to appreciate and love each other in order to create something bigger than them.

Like the stones of a dome, the particles stand together in perfect balance and order demonstrating the eye and the tongue, for example, each to be a wondrous building, extraordinary work of art, and miracle of power. If these particles were not each officials dependent on the command of the master architect of the universe, then each particle would have to be both absolutely dominant over all the other particles in the body and absolutely subordinate to each of them; and both equal to each and, with regard to its dominant position, opposed; and both the origin and source of most of the attributes that pertain only to the Necessarily Existent One, and extremely restricted; and both in absolute form, and in the form of a perfectly ordered individual artefact that could only, through the mystery of unity, be the work of the Single One of Unity.

You removed the intro! "Right at the border where physics becomes biology" is the perfect description. Hope you add it back. Your videos are the best. I use them for teaching all the time. Thanks!

Kurzgesagt, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible work your team is doing. Words can hardly do justice to the beauty and impact of your videos. Every person in your team, from the animators to the sound engineers, scriptwriters, editors, narrators, and all the other contributors I am failing to name (my sincere apologies), is doing an outstanding job in creating a magnificent demonstration of what humans are capable of achieving. As a viewer, I'm constantly amazed by the level of detail, accuracy, and creativity in your videos. I'm sure I speak for many others when I say that your work has touched and inspired us in profound ways. Your dedication to making complex topics accessible and engaging is truly remarkable, and it's evident that each member of your team brings a unique and invaluable skill set to the table. Thank you for all that you do, and I always look forward to seeing even more of your amazing mind-expanding creations in the future!
I was watching one of their videos the other day and my son came and watched it with me. He fell in love with the animation at first and then realized he was understanding something very complex on a subject he never heard of. He now watches one or two of their videos a day!

Lovely comment. I also admire their work, they are a team of professionals and people who deserve something special in this world and even beyond!
I would love a poster or some kind of merchandise with some of the visuals in this video! The animations are gorgeous, I'd love a poster of the amino acids and proteins
Interesting take on proteins and amino acids, I always saw them as building blocks to form complex mechanisms that do specific things and that view is still intuitive to me but now I'm thinking about sounds/letters and words differently, like they are building blocks of a complex mechanism which is forming an idea or picture in the brain of the person reading or listening to those words
Every new video sets a higher benchmark for vector based animation. I'm at least five years into After Effects and with every kurzgesagt upload my soul gets crushed by how far you guys are ahead. But I can appreciate the beauty, find things to learn for animation and - of course - science! So thank you!
I mean, you are one guy, and kurzgesagt is dozens, if not hundreds. Theyve been sponsored by bill gates for gods sake. The fact your work is even comparable should be a huge milestone.
Most of the animation in this video is made in 3D, for about 2 years or so, they've been doing most of the heavy lifting with 3D animation. This is not negative in the sligthless, and let them accelerate their pipeline work. The fact that it looks like vector animation and the transition remains almost unnoticeable is amazing
Did you check out their early work when Dettmers, the founder, did most of the work by himself? They started out pretty small and simple and only have become this big and proficient over the years. Maybe this helps you to stay in good spirits. :)

Interesting use of language as an analogy for protein pathways. Never would've thought of that myself and might steal that in future lessons with students on biology. As always, Kurzgesagt never fails to deliver digestible summaries of incredibly complex topics.
One of the reasons why this is one of my favorite channels. I know all the stuff that he is sharing. But it's always interesting to see how he describes it and I love the animations

I recommend researching 'narcissistic personality disorder' (NPD) / 'cluster-B'; and know that they are the 'root of all evil' (especially 'ESFJ/ESTJ-narcissist'; Myers-Briggs reference, look it up)! European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!!! They are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-r@pe, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim/damsel in distress, creating "flying-monkeys", and 'bribing' others (with money or BJ) to attack, or at times, kill someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Emmett Till. xSFP and ISFJ (2W1) are the most complicit, narcissistic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependents' (look up the definition). Like ESFJ, XSFP's "feelings 'is' their reality." Most are covert/vulnerable-narcissists. ISFJ often perceive things only on the surface level (even by sensor standards), are suckers for a “pretty face", and their neuro-psychology makes them the ideal narcissitic-codependent and pawn to the ESFJ (blind-loyalty, surface level perception, susceptibility to covert-narcissism). Lastly, ISFJ are notorious for impersonating other people's identities IRL and on the internet; while ESFJ-9W1 superficially appears like an ENFJ, they have different 'neurology' and psychology. Both XSFJ are superficial by nature and perceive reality at face-value/surface level. SUMMARY Evil personality: 'ESFJ' (ALL), ESTJ (Cluster-b), ISFJ-2W1 (covert-narc/enabler). ESFJ-9W1 superficially resembles ENFJ; different 'neurology' and psychology. [Secretly] Evil and narcissist-friendly gunts/flying-monkey: ISFP (ALL), ESFP (ALL), and ISFJ (2W1 enable ESFJ). ☝️ALL of them are secretly emotionally-disturbed, hence their need to create conflict as a distraction (at other people's expense, truly evil). Spread the word! Thank you. ___________ Research ref: Raudha Athif, Ghislaine Maxwell, Marilyn Monroe, Karen, ESFJ-narcissists, ESFJ-neurology, Gaslighting, Amber Heard, Fake feminism, Rising of a shield hero (Malty-'ESFJ'; XSFX spread disinformation online.

@@VOTEFORWHIP schools teach a lot of false or outdated stuffs tbh
This is literally the climax of everything I am learning in physics, chemistry and biology, so cool
It all comes together quite beautifully, doesn’t it?
This is like reverse clickbait. Was expecting a video about a spoken language, which I wouldn’t be as interested in, so I watched a lot of other Kurzgesagt videos before this one. Turns out to be far more interesting and educational than I’d initially expected! I adore this channel.
