Who would not want to know about individual atoms, but want to know about molecules? I know it's not me.

Great teacher. Thanks for loading this MIT. As Jacob Bronowski said a few decades ago, if our society will not be a democracy of knowledge, than it will not survive.

This woman knows what she is talking about and also explains it in an excellent way, to students who want to learn.

By the way her dresses are very well too. I am Belgian, so also European.

from what cell membranes is this example from, from humans , plants ?

@junior1984able I think the sodium channels she was referring to have a role in our nervous system. I don’t know for a fact but ion channels are likely prevalent in many if not all biological systems. Take for example ATP synthase found in cellular membranes of both humans and plants, specifically in the mitochondria, utilizes hydrogen protons.
