Inside the Cell Membrane

[@AmoebaSisters]

We like to pin any clarifications on our videos. 1. We notice a few comments asking, "Well, isn't an *unfertilized* chicken egg [or yolk] itself actually a cell?" [Which would mean one HUGE cell, right?] So, it turns out there is a lot of thought on this. While we were taught the entire unfertilized chicken egg isn't a true cell---not only because they don't contain the typical cell parts---but also because if it is fertilized, the egg/yolk itself isn't what starts dividing (only germinal disc), we can see other arguments. You can find lots of debate about this online. We brought this up in convo on Twitter: twitter.com/AmoebaSisters/status/1117579222942388224 and we've talked to some science teachers about this. This could be one of those fascinating things where it depends how you define as a cell? Anyway, we'd love to hear your thoughts on this! A better way we could have done this would be *instead* of saying 'A cell could never be as big as a chicken egg' to *change to say* 'A *body* cell could never be as big as a chicken egg.' 2. Integral proteins frequently cross the whole membrane (transmembrane); these are the types we show. In fact, all transmembrane proteins are integral proteins. *However* there are some integral proteins that don't go through the membrane completely (and are not transmembrane). 3. Towards the end of this video, we say "HIV virus" to emphasize the virus illustration. But that's redundant- technically we could just say "HIV." HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. We don't get into any type of virus detail here, but we have a new virus video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnfUnYepobplaNU

[@alexzhang3232]

we?? So like is one person drawing and animating, and the other is doing the voice-over?

[@AmoebaSisters]

One of us does all the drawing and the other one does all the speaking. Switching roles would be a disaster haha. But if you want proof that Petunia speaks, we have more about that in our Around the Agar video :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5DMkmuNl72Yp7M

Old comment I know but I'll be starting university when I'm 22 and I'm trying to study as much as i can before then,this channel is great 😭 can I ask how you're doing/how you did in your class?

This really does help though. It givrs you facts and thr animations help more

As a biology teacher and a mother of a high school biology student, I LOVE AMOEBA SISTERS!!!!!!! I show them in my classes on the regular and use the handouts. My mom bought the book for me and my daughter asked me last night if she could take it to school with her today! Thank you so much for what you do!!!!

[@Wolf-r9d]

I’m 18 and am majoring in biology. I love biology, but my textbook in my current bio class does not have visual images so I had a hard time visualising the plasma membrane. This is SOOOO HELPFUL THANK YOU!

[@rachelalmonte2273]

i watched these videos in highschool...now im in college and these videos are still the ONLY way for me to learn. I love them. Thank you for this.

[@jennabrooks6524]

I am a sophomore in biology and I am last minute studying for a biology test I didn’t know a thing about. I now feel confident I can ace this test, thank you!

[@user-ml1jj7mt8z]

same omg, but idk if I'll ace it

[@camerontraer3136]

As a Grade 12 student, your videos are REALLY helping me to understand all of this for my biology class! Thank you so much!

I've been watching your videos since my daughters were in middle school. Now, 6 years later, one is in nursing school and the other is in a doctorate in physical therapy program! Great videos!

I am a 9th grade student and never understood science. I came across your channel And I finally got a 100 on a test. Thank u sm.

Just so you know, your videos are helping MANY college students pass every Biology test, so THANK YOU!😁

[@ljdoubleyou4948]

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am a 42 year old mom who's just started school again and English is not my primary language so I need to study extra and this video helped me so much to understand. Thank you so very much!!!

[@julifree5681]

In the middle of last minute cramming here and just wanted to say thanks! I could be watching hours of lecture videos, but these are soooooo much better! Thank you!

[@brandonhung9990]

Best way to use these videos are to read the chapter in the textbook first then come here. The textbook gives inclusive information on these concepts and these videos break those concepts down into easier language

Thank you for taking the time to create such an informative video. The last time I read anything about this topic was 1977. I wanted to understand cell membranes and good proteins and how they work and you nailed it in a simple concept I can enjoy and remember. Thank you.

[@ProdByBipxlar]

Thank you guys. I found you one fateful day 2 years ago and I couldn't stop watching you ever since.

[@thaomymaivu6068]

Your videos are much more worthy than any biology lessons at school. Thanks a lot!

[@shan8613]

For the confused high school students… Science is science, and these specific content are solid facts that will remain unchanged. This knowledge are the building blocks of Bio, Chem, Ana and Physio, Microbio, Genetics, Organic Chem, etc. That’s why it’s useful even in college (as an intro, or review). The professor then just adds more info on top of that. Nonetheless, science meticulously explained by cute cartoons is awesome for any age!
