Elly- Thanks! I am a high school science teacher in Montana. I took a number of science classes throughout college and ended with a biology degree (and a broadfield teaching certification). I have been teaching for about 20 years. Best of luck with your studies. -Mr. A
As a student (Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Carol Davila", Bucharest, Romania) in need of understanding these mechanisms easily, because I postponed studying them for so long, mostly because they're teaching us in such a manner that we cannot get more bored, I want to thank you sir for your videos. You've made my life easier. Biochemistry is killing us. You are, literally, a blessing. Thank you!
Hey Mr Anderson. I'm studying to become a teacher in a primary school in the Netherlands. I really have no need for this information, but I'm so curious about it and you explain it in a very awesome way! I try to look at one of your videos every morning when eating breakfast. I wish that some day I will be as good in teaching as you are.
Hey guys, yeah I am! I'm having a great time as a teacher. Brought my own PC a couple times to explore the universe in SpaceEngine. That was definitely awesome :D And you guys? Whatcha up to
If you is interested in losing weight the best weight reduction using fat lose recipes that I have had was with the Lakan food tactic (just google it) definately the most useful diet i've tried.
I took AP Bio when I was in high school and it is no different than normal BIO. AP is just the same information crammed into a shorter term. Its nothing special.
Thanks for your presentations. I'm 55 years old and am returning to college for a science-based education. It's been a challenge and I find the visual presentation helps me get things clear in my mind. You're quite articulate and present the material in a logical and coherent manner. Cheers, I'll keep coming back as I discover new topics.
Hello Sir, I'm a fourth year biology student here in the Philippines and I would like to say thank you for all your videos because I want to be like you Sir! I want to be a teacher just as the way you teach... it's easy to understand and indeed, it makes me love Biology!!! I hope you're my college professor!
Hello, I have been teaching college genetics and evolution and statistics for many years, but this year I am teaching a large intro bio course for non-majors. As a teacher, these lectures are outstanding and tremendously helpful. The section at the end - the biochemistry and cell biology of LUCA - is an outstanding recap of the concepts introduced earlier.
when ever i need to learn something your always there with an easy to understand video, will probably still be using these for help during my PHD years
Thanks so much for creating these videos and making them available to everyone! I teach AP Biology as well as 10th grade biology and these are so helpful to my students!
i love how you ask " why it's important.." or "how it's working" bc i can understand the importance of it.. vs at college just presented and its rushed through it before making any significant impact on your level of understanding All your videos are very helpful n can go back anytime to look over before an exam.. where nothing connects or make sense...
This is the best backup for quick review about ATP.I can't believe I almost forgot.Thank you for making it fast and on point. I'm gonna subscribe for sure.
that was "miiister aaandersen" - very interesting (edit) and clear presentation - I wish I had had this kind of input when I was learning school biololgy
I've been watching your videos for 2 years and you've taught me everything I need to know, that my biology teacher didn't. Then this year, in our first class of biology, my teacher said we'd be watching your videos to help us. I accidentally said "I love that guy!" really loudly, and everyone looked at me :/ But it's true. I love you and your videos! Thank you so much for being such a genius! ^_^
you actually made my day, I know its nothing for you but im sick of all these huge youtube channels who don't care about their subs. You have an amazing youtube channel and have great relations with your subs. nice work. keep it up
I wish I had had you as a professor this semester for Biology. You explain everything so clearly and it helps that you draw arrows and what not to point out important parts. Thanks for making these videos. These have been a huge help to me this semester! I've got a final exam today so I'm watching all the videos that have to do with what we went over all semester. Good thing they aren't super long. (: Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Great video! Thank you! I'm taking di-ribose with magnesium and malate for fibromyalgia, and I just wanted to learn a little more, as I earlier wrote a friend about it. Thank you again!
Nice and clear description but what I'm most curious is exactly *how* the release of a phosphate performs work. I imagine the phosphate is shot off and can push on other stuff, but I have trouble imagining how that works. I mean ATP is used for so many uses that there must be some essential mechanism that they all share and I would love to understand that.
Melinda Green This happens mostly by the capturing of the energy released when ATP breaks into ADP and Pi. The high amount of energy released is partly due to 3 properties of the hydrolysis of ATP. The first one, and highest contributor, being solvation effects. The energy content of ADP and Pi is much lower than ATP itself because ADP and Pi solves alot better than ATP on its own. Because ADP and Pi solves better, the repulsion is lowered in the phosphoanhydride bonds by better shielding. The ADP and Pi is therefore a more stable state than ATP(raising the free energy released). The second contributor is the decreasing electrostatic repulsion when ATP is converted to ADP and Pi. The electrostatic repulsion arises from the negatively charged oxygen molecules between the three phosphate groups. So energy is released when the four oxygens pushing against each other in ATP due to same charges are instead converted to 3 oxygens pushing against each other. The last contributer to the high energy is the stabilization of resonance which is raised when ATP is converted to ADP and Pi. The products have more resonance energy and are therefore more stable then the reactant. Hope this helps :) (5 months was a long time ago, but oh well)
Andrey That's all interesting but doesn't answer my question of *how* the release of energy is harnessed to do all these useful things. I understand that breaking a molecular bond releases energy like a tiny firecracker going off, but how does that cause muscle contractions or gene expression or any of the millions of different things that cells do with the energy? The fact that it can be used in so many ways suggests that there is some main mechanism that should be easy to understand, but it seems odd that something so fundamental never seems to get talked about. I feel like we're missing something important.
***** Yes, changing the conformation of another molecule is one major use of ATP. I guess a chemical signal "opens the door" to an ATP molecule slipping into a crack and then an enzyme clips open the bond and the resulting spring forces the containing molecule to change shape. That's still several complicated steps and I'd really like to see a simulation of the entire sequence close up and in very slow motion to get an idea of how something like that can be orchestrated. I get the feeling that very few people have a good understanding of how this really works, including lots of very excellent researchers who work with these molecules every day.
Melinda Green If you ever find out this answer, please let me know!! I've been dying to know because it's what makes life exist. I also want to know why chlorophyll's shape is needed for absorbing energy... super important. I also wonder why kinetic energy becomes radiation... energy, movement, and electrons go hand and hand everywhere. It's all we interact with and it's only a tiny tiny tiny fraction of an atoms mass. It would be cool if ATP shot a photon right where it needed to go and it was absorbed and converted to the required form of energy using DNAs ninja magic.
Will fill out transltn form in about 1 mnth and a half cuz hopefully Gd frst will have my own place and time to help out a little. Thank u for these videos. Thank you for sharing and spreading knowledge.
Thanks for sharing this video. I am indeed appreciating your description of the main three parts. I need to know some information about it due to the process of my project of Adenosine Triphosphate analysis. More detailed information can be found in Creative Proteomics.
You are genius! Because genius lies in simplicity. Thank you very much for your work, it is very useful studying molecular biology! Greetings from Lithuania!;)))
This is random but could you please let me know what program you use to make your videos? Do you video your computer screen or do you have a tablet that you record?
one question I have: normally, breaking chemical bonds requires energy, so why is it that when ATP is hydrolyzed into ADP that energy is released? Is it because there is more potential energy stored in the phosphoanhydride than the energy required to break it, and thus there is a net increase?
Hey Mr. Anderson, whats your occupation? and what courses did you take throughout highschool to university? I really admire you and your knowledge of biology. :D
is the energy in ATP a potential electrical energy due to two negative phosphate being stacked close together? If so, is this potential energy going to released as kinetic energy? And if so, how does this kinetic energy going to be converted into chemical energy in a chemical bond? Please, i appreciate an answer :)
Muchas gracias por su vídeo. ¿Por qué no existen otras moléculas formadas también de un nucleótido del ARN con dos fosfato mas?...me explico, ¿podría existir la CTP, la GTP o UTP y hacer el mismo trabajo del ATP? Thank you very much for your video. Why are not there other molecules also formed of a nucleotide RNA with two phosphate mas? ... I explained, there could be CTP, GTP or UTP instead of ATP, and do the same work as ATP?
What is the form of the energy produced in ATP hydrolysis? Is it infra red or heat, kinetic, electromagnetic(other frequencies) electrostatic? What is the mechanical process by which it moves ions against an electrochemical gradient?
So. . .I'm taking this biology 101 class and cellular respiration and photosynthesis has made NO sense to me (I aced my first exam, mind you). Our lecture notes are disjointed and non-connected to the point where I'm wondering "WHAT THE HELL DOES ANY OF THIS MEAN!?" I'm not too stupid, so I'm thinking my professor's notes just suck ass. Anyhow, I watched your vids 2x each and NOW i get it. . .it really isn't too difficult. THANKS MR. ANDERSON! !
Your cells generate ATP through 3 energy systems, one of them being the phosphagen system. The phosphagen system rebuilds ATP by supplying creatine phosphate. So I would imagine that supplementary creatine would help restore energy, and keep your muscles going harder during intense workouts. Hope that helps bud.

I am also Biochem major. Chemistry is good to me, but biology is not.
same here, bro
opposite for me which is the problem here because i need chemistry to understand bio XD

Happy for you ❤

This guy has his teaching chops down. So much easier to understand after watching this.
If you is interested in losing weight the best weight reduction using fat lose recipes that I have had was with the Lakan food tactic (just google it) definately the most useful diet i've tried.
Finally a teacher who knows how to teach! Engaging, clear, informative and now I actually get it, oh, and care about it! Biology lecturers take note
Sorry about that. I said ATP when I recorded the video and so I added a computer generated ADP to fix the mistake. Nice Hawking reference.
Haha clever
That freaked me out lol.
Hi :)
You sir, are literally the reason I'm passing AP Bio
im in normal bio and im learning this.
I took AP Bio when I was in high school and it is no different than normal BIO. AP is just the same information crammed into a shorter term. Its nothing special.

you're a very sharp bright man.......you need more recognition, you have massive potential sir..... you are more than a teacher.
I love how you explain everything, you make it easy to understand. Thanks!!
Thanks Mr. Anderson for one of the best explanations. As always, you rock!
lighthesun@ completely agree with ur statement. In college slides just go by without stoking in. I appreciate a TEACHER, not a presenter
lol wtf happened at 9:36 *robot voice* "ADP"
+FrankGarrett316 i reckon he said the wrong thing
then corrected himself
FrankGarrett316 That scared the life out of me xD
creepy lmao
he's actually a robot, now we know
that was "miiister aaandersen" - very interesting (edit) and clear presentation - I wish I had had this kind of input when I was learning school biololgy
Thank you! Best explanation of this process I have ever heard! Thank you
Very interesting and fills a few gaps in my understanding. Thank you for the video

Really useful for the new OCR Biology spec - thank you
I am checking here in 2022. This resource was very helpful for me as I am taking intro bio and anatomy next quarter!
you actually made my day, I know its nothing for you but im sick of all these huge youtube channels who don't care about their subs. You have an amazing youtube channel and have great relations with your subs. nice work. keep it up
I am having Biology finals in 2 days and your videos help SOOOO MUCH!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Very simple and easy to understand.
I wish I had had you as a professor this semester for Biology. You explain everything so clearly and it helps that you draw arrows and what not to point out important parts. Thanks for making these videos. These have been a huge help to me this semester! I've got a final exam today so I'm watching all the videos that have to do with what we went over all semester. Good thing they aren't super long. (: Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Totally saved me for my oral exam, thanks.
you are simply the best
Best videos on RUclips. Plz keep up the awesome work.
You're a great inspiratioin.I'm very greatful for the work you do ! Best wishes from Romania !
Wonderful...so important to understand the Body Electric. Thank you.
Thanks for a very good video. Over time your visuals get better and better!!!
Great video! Thank you! I'm taking di-ribose with magnesium and malate for fibromyalgia, and I just wanted to learn a little more, as I earlier wrote a friend about it. Thank you again!
Hello~ I am a bio premed and this is one of my fav yt channels for biology explanation^^
9:36, did the voice go robotic?
Thankyou proffesor you teach in an awsome proffessional easy way. I have excelerated in biology becuase of you thankyou so much
Really, outstanding presentation. Very nice.
Great haircut! I adore your videos! you seriously make science easier and enjoyable :)
This is a very good presentation..
What a lecture sir !!! Really made my all the concepts clear ....hats off to u sir 🙇♂️🙇♂️
Thanks!!! once again you helped connect the dots!!

Great video! Thanks for putting it up.
Very nice lecture. Thank you for sharing.
ATP is a very special molecule, essential for life.
YOU SAVED MY LIFE SENSAI ! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honestly so much more helpful then some of my teachers(gr 12)
Thanks for replying, you're such a true inspiration. :)
You are genius! Because genius lies in simplicity. Thank you very much for your work, it is very useful studying molecular biology! Greetings from Lithuania!;)))
This could probably be my first comment on RUclips.. ever since I started knowing RUclips in 2007.. amazing video amazing explanation
Thank you!! So helpful!!! :)
really helpful how you explain the process.
as a student i say that his the best
great lecture :)
Just what I was looking for ! :) Thank-you!
Thank you, this has been really helpful and was just what i was looking for
So is it better to take and ATP supplements or an ADP supplement? Since the last sentence you said was add energy to adp to produce atp..
Thank you very much, I like your style of teaching.
This is great and extremely helpful
What was the mechanism by which the LUCA manufactured ATP, and why would there be such a mechanism?
Excellent video! Thank you!!
Nice job! You explain this information very well! Also, we are using your videos for Mrs. Wolfe's AP Biology class!
Thank you for your excellent explination
yaaassssssss 👍👍👍👍 this just made me excited about biology for the first time! 😂😂😂
This video is so useful
Thank you so much, your videos are helpful, your student are lucky :)
This is random but could you please let me know what program you use to make your videos? Do you video your computer screen or do you have a tablet that you record?
This is very informative, Thank you!
It helps me a lot on understanding how ATP works.
one question I have: normally, breaking chemical bonds requires energy, so why is it that when ATP is hydrolyzed into ADP that energy is released? Is it because there is more potential energy stored in the phosphoanhydride than the energy required to break it, and thus there is a net increase?
Had the same question
Loved the video!!!
This makes so much sense 😍
wait so energy storage in nucleic acids is based on potential energy of tightly packed negative charges? or redox energy stored in bonds?
Hey Mr. Anderson, whats your occupation? and what courses did you take throughout highschool to university? I really admire you and your knowledge of biology. :D
This helped sooo much
how is it made into a push dose medication such as adenocard? Is it made from plants or animals?
Nicely going over those aspects in biology that you feel too stupid in class.
Thanks. U amd ur vid is a lifesaver. Bc of this, I was able to report our lesson :))
great video! but I just can't understand why do you get energy breaking the ATP chemical Bonding if this is an endothermic process
is the energy in ATP a potential electrical energy due to two negative phosphate being stacked close together? If so, is this potential energy going to released as kinetic energy? And if so, how does this kinetic energy going to be converted into chemical energy in a chemical bond? Please, i appreciate an answer :)
What keeps the structure of ATP from breaking up?
Muchas gracias por su vídeo. ¿Por qué no existen otras moléculas formadas también de un nucleótido del ARN con dos fosfato mas?...me explico, ¿podría existir la CTP, la GTP o UTP y hacer el mismo trabajo del ATP?
Thank you very much for your video. Why are not there other molecules also formed of a nucleotide RNA with two phosphate mas? ... I explained, there could be CTP, GTP or UTP instead of ATP, and do the same work as ATP?
I like ur lesson its very clarifying
Hiii!! What size yarn do you use for this plss?! Thxx ❤❤
Thanks a million
you are marvelous
What is the form of the energy produced in ATP hydrolysis? Is it infra red or heat, kinetic, electromagnetic(other frequencies) electrostatic? What is the mechanical process by which it moves ions against an electrochemical gradient?
ATP structure comes from adenine ribose sugar and 3 groups of phosphates
If coffee blocks adenosine does this affect ATP production??
Chemistry and biology. Soft science. :)
lol.. have u tried theoretical physics??
So. . .I'm taking this biology 101 class and cellular respiration and photosynthesis has made NO sense to me (I aced my first exam, mind you). Our lecture notes are disjointed and non-connected to the point where I'm wondering "WHAT THE HELL DOES ANY OF THIS MEAN!?"
I'm not too stupid, so I'm thinking my professor's notes just suck ass. Anyhow, I watched your vids 2x each and NOW i get it. . .it really isn't too difficult.

Is there an ATP supplement, or does Creatine help in ATP production ?

So I would imagine that supplementary creatine would help restore energy, and keep your muscles going harder during intense workouts. Hope that helps bud.
Would it also help with increasing mental energy?
