Microtubules | Cells | MCAT | Khan Academy

[@guguwf1991]

I learned more in 13 minutes of your video than in 2 weeks of class, thank you very much!

[@thibauteloy6841]

maybe because you were playing to candy crush instead of listenning the teacher ? ( I am joking)

[@carolinegreen4771]

Microtubule is a much more complex molecule. The building block of this protein is a dimer called tubulin, which is composed of two sub units: α-tubulin and β-tubulin. α-tubulin and β- tubulin form a filamentous chain called “protofilament”. Microtubules are built by arranging 13 such protofilaments around an empty core. This gives rise to a tube-like construction (hence the name microtubule), which is stiffer, longer and wider than actin. Microtubules have a distinct organizing site called the “centrosome”. Microtubule polymerization begins at this organelle. The end where faster polymerization occurs is called the plus terminus. The end where slower polymerization takes place is called the minus end. Microtubules grow from the centrosome towards the membrane, by anchoring their minus end to the organelle. Once microtubules reach the membrane they detach from the centrosome and create a highly dynamic network. The formation of this network is assisted by a group of proteins with microtubule binding domains called Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAP). -Creative BioMart

That's exactly the kind of information I was looking for in this video, nonetheless it was a fantastic video, gave me more info than my professors did lol

[@nilanjanadani5629]

Hey! May I know at what standard are you studying these Microtubules and stuffs? And from which country are you studying?😁

[@hafsahjan4107]

great...thankuu soo much...this helped me a lot.....stay blessed

Thanks

Can be taken OOf. I love the accent

[@manuelblank8072]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't interpolar microtubules the ones that do not attache to kinetochores, but go from one MTOC directly to the other?

[@MrFreakj]

Interpolar microtubules are connected to the interpolar microtubules of the other MTOC. Kinetochor microtubulues bind the kinetochors. So I learned it that way, too.

[@briansalkas349]

Error at 3:13, centrosomes do not duplicate during mitosis, they duplicate during the S phase.

[@harshinidavuluri878]

You 're right!

[@lukehoising6401]

it duplicates in G2

[@sakshamsingss]

DNA duplicate in s phase not centrosome

[@heebz6805]

@@lukehoising6401 S phase of interphase along with DNA not during G2, microtubules are made during G2

[@johnvandenberg8883]

Great work Efrat! New York accent? I love it how you say "beezlebaddies"

[@AvParreira]

A great presentation that takes a very dry textbook concept and makes is simple to understand and grasp.

[@farihaakhter3946]

This vedio is very helpful for all of us who want to know more about microtubules very descriptively or elaborately...

[@pragyasharma8238]

understood all the basic concepts .. cleared my head with all the doubts by watching your video..thank u !!

[@kiranakhtar7788]

Time saving explanation... thank you so much

[@redshark618]

I dont know if her accent is NYC or NJ, but I love it

[@doanviettrung]

This teacher makes everything so clear. Anyone knows her channel, please? I want to subscribe.

[@kevinbennett5226]

You sound like you grew up in New York but now live in Canada

[@Salvation0fMind]

Kevin Bennett My thought exactly

[@sowmiyasubramani1323]

Clear accent , and explaining ,, choose this kind of people to explain the session

[@TadFishy]

There is a mistake in your video. Interpolar microtubules are antiparallel microtubules that originate from opposite poles, and overlap at the midzone of mitotic spindles. They don't attach to kinetochores. The ones you showed are kinetochore microtubules. Would be good to make it clear that there 3 types of microtubules taking part during mitosis and they all have different functions.

[@al850416]

Thanks

[@erikak6450]

I learned about microtubules AND Canadian accents today. Thank you!

[@jaquesfrancais3030]

9:19 I think there is something incorrect, in the 9+2 arrangement of the basal body the central microtubules are NOT paired as the other ones (1 complete and 1 incomplete microtubule, who attach each other). Indeed, the central "pair" is more like TWO SEPERATE and both complete microtubules, just connected by a bridge and not direcly attaching, as your drawing suggests. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

[@ChildishDicaprio]

All I got from this video was “OOOF” lol cool accent

[@betb48]

Wish i had a teacher like you at highschool...very well explained....

[@ayoadeodebode4405]

Great illustration. I must point out that the centromere and kinetochore lead the motion, not the arm of the chromatids as illustrated.

[@pinkfrosting0]

Love the jersey accent. Great video :)

[@virupannamedikinal]

Thank you so much.

[@guyseavey6634]

Very well presented. It is very helpful when so many details are presented in a way that is easy to retain. Thank you for a great video lesson.

[@Eyosias-x1g]

I love the way you say because

[@russelmiller7311]

Both the mitotic spindle and the interphase cytoskeleton are formed from rapidly tuning-over microtubule populations with half lives of less than a few minutes, which grow from and shrink towards the microtubule organizing centres.

[@Tante90Emma]

One of the best khanvideo I have ever seen.

[@nikiene5764]

There is a mistake in your video. The 'interpolar' microtubules in the video are actually kinetochore microtubules. The interpolar microtubules extend from opposite poles and meet each other somewhere around the center where they overlap and associate with motor proteins.

[@rehanahamid4328]

Centrosome is absent in plants....how spindle fibers are formed in them

[@angelavolkov1126]

Can also grow by branching, not just linearly

[@krisanthonysilveira8244]

Just a small correction doesnt the microtubule arise from the pericentriolar material rather then then centriole ??

[@foadazizpur7442]

URGENCY QUESTION: in the fungi, how chromosoms move in their nucleuses? does the strips of duke transformed from cytoplasm to nucleus?

[@guynouri]

Excellent clear clearest yet

I'm so grateful for this!

[@zannatul23]

thank you efrat, its really helpful x

[@oraclebjj]

Reminded me of school again. Lots of labelling of parts less actual explaining of how stuff actually works. Are those tubules in the neuron as she calls them "tracks" transporting electrical signals? Or something else.

[@lovelytangcalagan9264]

kimura kano No electrical signals aren't "transported" and the tracks that she showed are within the cell. The actual electrical signals that neurons transmit are passed in its plasma membrane through a complex process involving ion channels.

[@rangineechoudhury3755]

Well explained.

[@MikeyIV]

How do most cells transport vesicles? Just in the cytosol, no railroads? Also what holds the organelles of a cell (nucleus ER, etc) in place? Is that microtubules?

[@yashikaraghuwanshi7634]

Intermediate filaments hold the cell together I think, and the railroads you talk about, are microfilaments.
