Worse: imagine you are just chilling and you learn that AT LEAST 65% of cells in our bodies are MICROBES. Their cells are much smaller than our meat-bag cells. So we are made by microbes to be their hosts. All macroflora and macrofauna were formed by microbes to be hosts and our DNA is a record of it.
Fun Fact :- A Dwarf planet, Sedna, in the Kuiper belt takes 10,500 years to complete one revolution around the Sun. I have got a whole video dedicated to fun facts about solar system.

In case it was not obvious enough, the video was indirectly saying that bacteria can only become as big as diffusion allows them to, which is just on the nanometer scale.
@@sheepketchup9059 in this time when good funny memes die off in a matter of days... this has been around for years and people still use it and it's still funny. That's like a miracle or something
@@BillAnt Humans are living things and living things spread, if we didn't some other species would have done the same things as us just in a slightly different way.
@Dominotik Ivan Tulovskiy what I mean is that cancer doesn't spread from human to human contact(droplets, touching, etc) unlike bacteria and viruses which do. You can't give a random dude cancer if you have it. You are right tho if you're talking about the body, you spoke facts 👌
It's mind-blowing that all life depends on something as simple as opening up your window and letting fresh air in and stale air out. Diffusion really is underrated.
Great video as always! However, let me actually answer the question in the title "How Large Can a Bacteria get?". In 1999 a non-phototrophic sulphur oxidazing Bacterium called 'Thiomargarita namibiensis', which translates into 'Sulphur pearl of Namibia' was found off the coast of Namibia. The Bacterium was measured up to 0.75 mm in size, which is large enough to easily see by the naked eye! Isn't this amazing?!
for anyone coming across this comment, the way that Thiomargarita namibiensis gets around the diffusion problem is by having a large vacuole in the center of it. So basically all of the cell's "insides" are in a layer closer to the surface of the cell, while the actual core of the cell which is harder to reach by diffusion doesn't hold any of the "important" stuff.
Its a group of people , also , actual science is much more complicated , they arent exaggerating when they say they are grossly oversimplifying some things . But dont get me wrong they are still a great channel
I used to just separate from my parents with my sister and we would go and wander around and take the samples. Then we would wait for them to change shifts and we would exploit and take double XD
I know you’ll never see this but I would really love to see “evolution of life,” an illustration how the singecelled organisms evolved to be multicellular (like here), the struggles they’ve faced and extinction events, how sexual reproduction came about, why dinosaurs were so successful, how mammals took over. I think it would be really neat

I am 30 years old and only now with this video does anything make sense with breathing. I also always wondered how bugs "breathe". Thank you so much for simple powerful information in a stunning visual style.
One advantage of being too large for diffusion is that you can put up a thick wall all around you and only allow things in through a few tightly controlled gates. Our skin is basically an impenetrable wall to any invading microbe, covered in poison, while almost all our openings can be closed so we can be pretty selective about what gets in. This makes us a lot more resistant to infection than microscopic lifeforms since infections can get in anywhere with them so long it can trick the chemistry of the cell but we just don't have many living cells at the surface to be tricked since our skin is literally a pile of dead cells. It's like the difference between a rural village and Constantinople in terms of defenses.

I've learnt so much Biology in a video of Kurzgesagt more than I learnt it at school, thanks Kurzgesagt! Life is a miracle, doesn't matter what's your size... tall or short, big or small. And we should be grateful for it.
There are very large single cellular organisms. However they are very special and have like a ton of nucleus to run the thing. So yeah, not exactly impossible but probably not.
I want to compliment your editing and writing ✍️, you give a helpful introduction to your topic, and you actually answer the question we clicked on the video about. Great Quality!
Godammit, I was revising for a biology test and saw this video. For the first time I ACTUALLY DECIDED NOT TO PROCRASTINATE. Watching it after the test, turns out this video had the topic that I was revising for. I swear I’m just cursed with bad luck.
I love the detail where he says "when you breathe in" and then proceeds to breathe in quickly before continuing his sentence. You only include that together with the splendid topics, research and animation if you're extremely dedicated!
I think I remember Film Theory mentioned this concept to explain how Groot literally grows out of thin air. He uses the carbon dioxide his friends breathed out.
I'm studying biology in highschool and it was fun to understand everything in this video and remember the things I had learned in these couple of years. Love your channel ❤️
@@martinalmeida651 or maybe they see it fun to explain things even though they are conscious that it is not meant to be serious or accurate. I understand that people like that may sometimes be annoying, but please think logically man. Just chill oot k?
I am happy that people increasingly recognize scientific dissemination, and information in general. And congratulations to this channel for the enormous quality, production, content ... I love physics and more people should know it too! A hail from Brazil
Sou do Brasil também! Este canal na minha opinião é um dos melhores em divulgação científica da internet, tanto pela animação estilizada quanto pelo nível de didatismo e profissionalismo.
Watching this channel and taking short tests should seriously give you a low-key degree in science! It covers nearly everything I learned in my undergrad in such an informative and memorable way.
Honestly at this point, I can visualize most things a lot easier in meters, but for some reason, I still have a hard time visualizing human height in anything other than feet & inches
This was so well done in every way. The script, editing sounds, artwork, animations... Thank you to everyone who worked to make this awesome video a reality. I’m sharing it with everyone I know!
I know that you guys probably won't see this comment, but I really wanted to thank you for helping me understand the corelation between volume and surface (membrane transport). This way I managed to study digestion even better, and I never thought that watching youtube vids could help so much learning for school. Once again, thank you very much!

If you think this gives you that thought, then Tierzoo would make you think you would be watching actual game guides.

There are very large single cellular organisms.
However they are very special and have like a ton of nucleus to run the thing.
So yeah, not exactly impossible but probably not.
@@adamxue6096 normally very large single-celled organisms need an active absorption method so they cannot live only with diffusion
Yes, they would.

Great Quality!
"Diffusion takes higher concentrations of things, and distributes it equally"
*Soviet national anthem intensifies*
Socialism is when cells diffuse. And it’s more socialism, the more cells diffuse. And if a real lot of cells diffuse, it’s communism.

Godammit, I was revising for a biology test and saw this video. For the first time I ACTUALLY DECIDED NOT TO PROCRASTINATE. Watching it after the test, turns out this video had the topic that I was revising for. I swear I’m just cursed with bad luck.
I feel that
Note to self: always procrastinate
@@mrpedrobraga yes
funnily enough, I'm blessed with good luck.
so I probably stole your luck sorry
I love the detail where he says "when you breathe in" and then proceeds to breathe in quickly before continuing his sentence. You only include that together with the splendid topics, research and animation if you're extremely dedicated!
Or maybe his brain just switched to manual breathing and he needed to breathe at that moment XD

I think I remember Film Theory mentioned this concept to explain how Groot literally grows out of thin air. He uses the carbon dioxide his friends breathed out.
I'm studying biology in highschool and it was fun to understand everything in this video and remember the things I had learned in these couple of years. Love your channel ❤️

I am happy that people increasingly recognize scientific dissemination, and information in general. And congratulations to this channel for the enormous quality, production, content ... I love physics and more people should know it too!

Sou do Brasil também! Este canal na minha opinião é um dos melhores em divulgação científica da internet, tanto pela animação estilizada quanto pelo nível de didatismo e profissionalismo.
Kkkk só a trupe
Watching this channel and taking short tests should seriously give you a low-key degree in science! It covers nearly everything I learned in my undergrad in such an informative and memorable way.

1 metre is equal to 3.3 feet so figure that out for yourself

Honestly at this point, I can visualize most things a lot easier in meters, but for some reason, I still have a hard time visualizing human height in anything other than feet & inches

This is explaining biology in 10 minutes in a way everyone remembers. Despite my years of biology in school I didn't learn neatly as much
This was so well done in every way. The script, editing sounds, artwork, animations...
Thank you to everyone who worked to make this awesome video a reality. I’m sharing it with everyone I know!
I know that you guys probably won't see this comment, but I really wanted to thank you for helping me understand the corelation between volume and surface (membrane transport). This way I managed to study digestion even better, and I never thought that watching youtube vids could help so much learning for school. Once again, thank you very much!

Well, if you think about it, he's breathing the whole time.
