Powering the Cell: Mitochondria
Together Harvard University and XVIVO developed this 3D animation journey for Harvard’s undergraduate Molecular and Cellular Biology students about the microscopic world of mitochondria. The animation highlights the creation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) — mobile molecules which store chemical energy derived from the breakdown of carbon-based food. ATP molecules act as a kind of currency, imparting chemical energy to power all the functional components of cellular activity. This piece is the second in a series of award winning animations XVIVO is creating for Harvard’s educational website BioVisions at Harvard. The first program, Inner Life of the Cell, received international acclaim and can be seen both on our website and the BioVisions site.

This world is amazing~~
I think Mitochondria is a pretty cool guy. He powers the cell and doesn't afraid of anyone.
To think that all of this is happening in my body without even thinking about it is mesmerising!

POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
Is there a narrated and annotated version of this video? I'm not asking for David Attenborough (but if he's into it…)
finding dory
thats it, im getting a microscope.
I took biology in higher secondary after seeing this video !!!back in 2013
I feel like I'm on an acid trip. Wtf.
hello
like worms
i dont like MEMESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WUTTTTTTTTTTT
not MEMESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY DOES THE MUSIC IN THESE VIDEOS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO EPIC?!?!
this is what happens when object oriented programmers partake of psychedelics. (kidding aside, excellent work!)
And people want to believe in strange life forms from another planet? We have them here NOW and they are inside us!
No explaination what?
Is there a narration to it?
Would be nice, thank you for uploading this great animation!

How can something as amazing and organised as this come about from an inanimate object and self willed a gradual process to become what it is. I say a great designer its absolutely incredible, the painting is proof of a painter.
I am seriously only here because I've been hunting down this video that we watched in Science class with the song "Finale" from Halo 3 is was part of the same playlist.
Future kids: So this is happening inside me now? *panics*
The snare is super off
That mitochondrion reminded me of a CCS-class Covenant battlecruiser from Halo 1…
Reminds me of the ocean.
Oh•My•Goodness!! So fascinating!! Thank you so mich for this video!!
hahahahahahah this is a good reminding of rocks! igneous rocks are my very favorite!
I came here from the dank memes of the pharaohs of the gods of egypt of the 2nd of the jesus of the holy of the andrew of the FAZE of the matta. hi
God is a Creator ?
Subhan'Allah ??
There's a mistake. The c-ring should be rotating clockwise (looking it from the cytosol) while synthesizing ATP.
The Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
I'm in tears. The human body is fascinating!!! Thanks to chemical evolution, coacervates, DNA, RNA etc.
–We're all dust of the stars…WHAT MUSIC??
Did anyone else come here from a post on instagram
this video sucks!
Wunderschön…
Sehr beeindruckend!
I came here from Parasite Eve (Novel Version).
+Luke Black you do know that in the cell it is the chemical reactions that produce the mechanical power, and i.t.o light all it is is the alteration of electron energy states within atoms thereby changing their charges so that their interactions are different thereby further giving us chemical energy, feel free to correct me on anything i have said though i can only reply much later as i have chemistry exams from monday onward's, but i will check for replies.
beautiful
Excellently explained
