A Tour of the Cell: Crash Course Biology #23

The cell is the basic unit of life, and our understanding of it has advanced as science, and the tools available to scientists, has advanced. In this episode of Crash Course Biology, we’ll take a look at the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, take a guided tour of the eukaryotic cell, and learn why most cells are small. We’ll explore the eukaryotic cell’s surprising beginnings through an endosymbiosis that occurred about 1.5 billion years ago.
Chapters:
Introduction to the Cell 00:00
Classical Cell Theory 2:12
Parts of a Cell 5:37
Endosymbiosis 9:11
Modern Cell Theory 10:41
Review & Credits 12:23

[@JarodM]

I like this guy's enthusiasm~👍

[@Squareboobs]

If teachers at school were like this…

[@1263903]

THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL!!

[@mattg2106]

Fantastic presenter - we need to see more of you!! Fabulous job

[@RainerTheGamer]

so... when do i get my autographs?

0:44 The possibility of life arising spontaneously from inorganic materials is a fundamental question in the study of the origin of life on Earth. Abiogenesis suggests that life began with the gradual chemical evolution of non-living substances into living organisms. This process is thought to have occurred over a long period, starting with simple inorganic compounds and leading to complex organic molecules necessary for life.

I thought Cell tried to destroy the planet? Then Gohan defeated cell! Basically I can kill Cell if I go SSJ2.

[@ninjak_jeamm]

BRO BE QUIET LMAO

[@Caterfree10]

I love the nerds here lmfao

[@nyuh]

omg were finally getting to the cell !

[@adpirtle]

I always get Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek mixed up in my brain.

[@naphyanaeem1037]

Just love your videos. Keep uploading more lectures.

[@andrewliberman7694]

Thanks!

[@raziasultana5222]

i didnt know there was a new crash course biology course!

[@monicareid8858]

Well done. I love the word catawampus, too☀️

[@ssthapit]

I like the presenter's charima

[@Davlavi]

Very informative thanks.🖖🙏

[@md.tahseenraza4791]

7:11 Sus AMONG US!!!

[@PrestonDLuffy]

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell

[@farman362]

You remember me school days ❤ thanks brdr 😊

[@mihaisimtion6925]

The mitocondria is the MVP of the cell😂

[@Leotique]

I love Crash Course

[@zyrenfall]

That doesn't look like the cell I'm inside of right now.

[@Jett_man]

Wow nice

[@joefarrow1599]

"Life doesn't erase spontaneously from inorganic materials" Like, to my understanding it did in the first place?

[@m.ehsaan.]

Amazing!

[@Sunkissedmel2002]

4:15 got me laughing hard 😂😂

[@trekker02]

I love all of these videos, though one small correction: It's commonly believed that the proto-eukaryote cells were archaea, not bacteria. While I hate the term prokaryote, it's probably better to refer to it as a "prokaryote" over a bacterium for an intro-level deep dive since you already introduced the term. :)

[@camilusbaraka-sl9kl]

What should I do, do you have another app? Or should I just relly on the videos you post on youtube only?

[@user-ll6in9zp2w]

special persuasion to study

[@mozzarellapizza]

Lovely video! But what about our favourite organelle the Lipid Droplet? :o

[@thatomofolo452]
