  • It has simplified everything for me.

  • this saved my life today!!!!

    

  • i wish i had a teacher like that... amazingly explained!

  • And it's hot!

  • I actually get it now! Thanks Professor Fink!

  • wow , so did that change or something over the years and they discovered the ATP synthase that kind of spins like a turbine to bind the ADP to a P group using the energy released from the moving of the electrons from one co-enzym to the other ..><?

  • Thank you so much for your time in making this video. I understand the processes involved in cellular respiration. Things my own teacher was unable to teach well. I wish you the best.

  • you really like hot potatoes :))

  • you are the best bio teacher ever best teacher in general thank you so much!!!!!!1

    emphatically,

    thank you!!!!

  • YAY! Thank you so much, now I can impress my teacher. You actually made me like biology, which is huge because just today I considered dropping the class after I failed a test. You explain everything so well with your analogies! :]

  • Thank you so much for your explanation. You have no idea how much this has helped me.

  • I FINALLY understand... Much Appreciated.

    Thanks Prof

  • teach me how to fink

  • In six minutes you taught me what my biology teacher has been trying to put into words for months... you really chose the right profession! Thank you very much for making this video easy to understand with your hot potato!

  • thnx Professor

  • Cant thank you enough for all your parts to Cellular Respiration! I ve been struggling for weeks trying to grasp it and I have finally allowed my Hot Potatoe Hydrogen Atoms to relax and release!!

  • Perfect, that was incredible, thanks so much Professor Fink, now I understand everything about this interesting process :)

  • thanks as these videos of yours teach us a lot!!!!!!!!

  • thank you very much for this series of videos. YOu are great in making the difficult processes look easy :). Keep posting video's, as many people learn from it, including myself!

    Thank you very much for your time and effort you putted in these videos!

  • You are so entertaining and so concise at the same time. The analogies are super helpful!!! I wish more teachers would observe your manner of teaching and use it themselves. All of these great comments are proof of how effective your style is! Thanks for putting these out and helping countless students get a handle on something that seemed impossible before watching you break it down!

  • I cannot thank you enough for this clear, entertaining explanation of Cellular Respiration. I have watched this series of videos several times and am so grateful! Thank you!!! : )

  • Professor Fink

  • Professor Fink

  • THANK YOU! So I write my grade 12 bio test on CR on friday and by watching all seven parts of your lecture, I understand what all the handouts are :) maybe i wont fail now xDDD

  • professor Fink , thanku so much!!! :))...sir, u might be a biology proff. , but i was wondering if u cud help me out wid organic chemistry???? :o

  • you sir, are GOD of biology!! the only thing my professor does is read of the powerpoint slides and doesn't really explain anything that is happening.. after watching your videos, i am so prepared to take my exam that i have in a few hours :) thank you sooo much!!!!

  • So far, you ARE the best biology teacher because you explain things VERY logically. Thanks for you great help!!!!! AND G_d bless!!!!!!

  • i love you!

  • Thank You for explaining the process of cellular respiration in a way that I can understand. GOD BLESS!

  • wow you just made me understand cellular respiration so easily!!!!!!!!! :D thank you for uploading parts 1-7 I wish you where my bio professor lol

  • Thank you so much for uploading this video. I have been confused about cellular respiration for a long time but now I understand it clearly. You're the best biology I've ever had, be it over the internet. Thank you!

  • @bystander00 Missed a word there. *You're the best biology teacher I've ever had, be it over the internet. Thanks again!

  • I wish you were my professor!!!!!!

    

  • Thank you very much, Professor Fink. I was struggling w/ this big time, but it makes sense now.

  • Sir, you have made my mind explode. You are an amazing teacher. I struggled with this for a week and because of one lecture, I now understand the electron Transport Chain. Thank you soooo much. I believe I will do fine on my test tomorrow now

  • Thank you so much

  • great work!!

  • I appreciate all that you've done here and everything seems great (the hot-potato-hydrogen example was superb), but I don't understand how you could possibly leave out chemiosmosis and the ATP synthase protein? It's critical to the Electron Transport System, people can't just assume that the ADP and Phosphate groups appear out of nowhere and that the energy magically creates ATP, they need to know about the ATP synthase protein and chemiosmosis.

  • My only question is...what inspired you to make this video and what your credentials are? It seems as though you understand your students and the material you teach a lot better than most of the other professors, who could care less about what or how they teach.

  • THANK YOU! this is the best explanation on this subject matter that i have come across yet, including my own AP teacher. THANK YOU i now feel like i actually understand what is going on and i am really excited about it now!!@#

    i really can't express it enough! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

    I would love to see more, but no worries im sure you're a busy man! Thanks again! :D

  • thank you .. thank you .. thank you .. I wish if we had a professor like you .. I wana cry.. .. I just luv you :)

  • Thank you for posting this lecture!! This has saved me.....it is the best explanation I have found with analogies that are easy to follow. After a week of being confused, I actually understand the process now. Thank you!!!!!! :)

  • Do I think you are the best instructor ever? EMPHATICALLY, YES!

  • i sat in my room for five hours .. confused. and watched ur video for an hour, understood everything. so ready for my midterm tmwr :) THANKS

  • thank you sir

  • veryyyyyy helpful. U rock

  • Sir, you make cell respiration so easy to understand from start to finish but the best thing about the whole experience is I enjoyed my learning experience with you. Thanks for giving me more confidence in my studies.

  • ohh~ ok! thank you so very much!!! :DDD

  • I understand why everything is happening and i also love the example you give, the analogies.

    1. Would chemiosmosis be another name for phosphorylation oxidation? becuase i don't understand that little bit.

    2.In the beginning u said we needed 38 atp but my teacher said 36...but we only made 34...and same with the nadh2...my teacher said 6 not 10. so i'm just confused between the # 's ...but everything else was perfect i love the way u teach! it's makes me so intrested! Thank you so much!!!

  • Yes; chemiosmosis is associated with "Oxidative Phosphorylation" -- the movement of "hot-potato" hydrogens. I did not speak about the details of this in the posted Youtube Video. The "hot-potato" hydrogens are passed from one coenzyme to the next into the outer compartment of the mitochondria. Then the "hot-potato" hydrogens flow "down-hill" (down the concentration gradient) into the inner compartment. As the "hot-potato" hydrogen flow downhill, it releases energy which is used to make ATP.

  • Regarding the total number of ATPs generated: Different cells generate slightly different numbers of ATP. Furthermore, 2 ATPs are "used-up" when the pyruvate sugars (pyruvic acid) are transported into the mitochondria.

    Obviously, learn the number of ATPs that your own Teacher tells you.

    Good Luck!

  • Wow! My midterm is on Monday(Today is Thursday going into Friday) and I was completely overwhelmed with material. I have watched these videos and now completely understand Cellular respiration. I can not say how much this has helped me, and I wish he was a professor here on campus!!

    Professor Fink, if you still read the comments, YOU HAVE SAVED ME!!! I can not thank you enough and I can only hope to find more videos that are remotely as helpful to help with the other chapters on the test.

  • You are a very gifted educator, I wish I had you teaching me this stuff right now!!!! Don't ever stop teaching, come teach at Uvic in Canada!!

  • @dukec88 lol are you in 190a? MIDTERM TOMORROW FML

  • If only this country had more educators of your caliber..

  • i guess 4 people dont understand hot potato hydrogen atoms

  • Thankyou so much for creating these videos. You not only helped my pass my ap bio test but made me more untreated In actually learning science!

  • Thank you so much for all the effort.You are truly an amazing teacher.I just love the way you create all these analogies,that are easy to remember,to explain complicated processes.And yeah I also agree you need a raise!

  • THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH, YOU SPEAK LITTLE BITS OF GOLD DUST FOR PEOPLE SITTING EXAMS

    I was just wondering whether you do a lecture on Photosynthesis?

    THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

  • You are awesome! good job explaining

  • Thanks to you proffesor Fink, I CAN PASS MY BIO EXAM! :) Yayy!

  • omfg the hot potato analogy is freakin genuis

  • I am sure you have had many complements but really I am a college Microbiology student and this is the best explanation I have ever heard. I have been through several biology courses. You deserve a raise!!!

  • Wonderful!

  • Oh my God! this is the best explanation of the whole celular respiration process!!!!... Saludos from Puerto Rico......thanks for posting this.... ur videos make me remember how beutiful is biology!!!!

  • You are a Beast of a professor. I wish you were my professor. Thank you for helping me with my test tomorrow. I've read this styff twice already and I watched it one time with you and I finally get it ( can't explain it, but I do understand it) THANKS.

  • tell me why you aren't my science teacher -_- but thank you so much for this video, because without it, I would be dead or at least in the process of dying miserably. So basically, the end product of the electron transport chain, the cooled down hydrogen atoms attach to oxygen to form water? So the reason why ETC exists, is for water and ATP and to dispose hydrogen atoms so our cells won't become acidic and die? Haha I think I just succeeded in confusing myself again...-_-

  • This is great

  • thank u very very much :)

  • u'r amazing

  • thanks prof. fink.. you saved me..

  • You are the science teacher i always dreamed my teachers to be! Your personality makes it so much understandable and easy to follow... it's just great! please keep uploading more videos!

  • Oh no, is this applicable for Botany / plant cells as well?

  • @TheAngelaJose

    Emphatically, YES!

    Cellular Respiration (with slight variations) is a "universal" process found in ALL living things!

    -- professor fink

  • at last i understand, thank you!!!!!

  • Thank you very much!!!

  • Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • No one ever explained it this way. So, so much easier to understand. Thank you so much.

  • this is awesome prof....God bless you

  • YOU ARE AMAZING!!! thank you :D

  • Thank you Professor Fink. I can understand better cellular respiration.

  • Great explanations !

  • He didn;t talk about the proton gradient in the chain and how it sets the H+ going out into the intermembrane space and then comes back again through the channel protein of atp synthase but enough of that I shant confuse everyone. But he did help me reinforce my basics

  • AND IT'S HOT!!!!!!!

  • Best explanation ever!!! Thanks Professor Fink!!!

  • The good think is that if we need to hear it again its just as easy as clicking the replay button, but i always say, NO NEED TO THINK AFTER YOU HAD MR.FINK :)

  • Comment removed

    Bless you Professor Fink!!! I'm getting it!

  • Thank you very much, Professor Fink!

    This Video helped me a lot to understand cellular respiration.

    You are the GREATEST Biology teacher I ever seen before!!!

  • Thanks so much for this I was lost in my class we need more teachers like you. Incredible

  • Brilliant indeed.

  • your the best!

  • :D:D!!!, now i understand all :O!...and i don't speak english haha! thank youU! amazing teacher :) creo que pasaré bioquimica ;)

  • Thank you!

  • This was so valuable. I was lost til I found this --- thanks for bringing it all together.

  • you're an angel !!!

    microbiology test tomorrow will be a breeze.

    i wish i had this last semester for anatomy and physiology XD

  • You're so awesome. I should watch youtube instead of going to class. lol

  • Comment removed

  • Now that dog will hunt....Bravo

  • amazing thank u!!! <3

  • amazing explanation!!!!!!!!!

    VERY HELPFUL

  • you are fantastic. thank you so much. i feel so much better about my exam tomorrow.

  • In the name of the Father and of the Son and of Professor Fink. Amen.

  • This lecture really helped me! I was not getting it from the textbook! Thank you for being a dynamic teacher!

  • Awesome! Light Bulb!

  • great teacher

  • thank's so much professor Fink. I wish I could become a teacher as good as you!!

  • What happen to the proton gradient ? o_O I thought everytime its pass the electron to the next co-enzyme, its pump a H+ outside to create a proton gradient.  Then as the H+ flow back in, it powers ATPase to generate ATP ?

  • yea, i was like " whens he going to mention ATPase " tho, he gotten the right information through, he didnt mention the details.

    overall. i find his information 10X useful! i really needed the summary of resperation. too bad he didnt do one on photosynthesis :(

  • @rickiex he (prof. fink) links to one on his website. it is not by him but I suppose it is probably pretty good.

  • You're a god. You explain processes so well!

  • OMG, your explanation is soo easy to follow, thanks!! i wish every professor teaches like you.

  • Excellent!

  • All this talk of hot potatoes is making me hungry! Potatoes are full of carbohydrates!

  • Thank you so much!! Your talent for teaching is golden. You have incredibly lucky students.

  • Oh my god i love this professor. Thank you professor for helping me understand this as i read 10 pages not understanding anything from the book. you made it easy and simple and interesting. thank you again. please keep teaching us. next topic would be the 3 kinds of break down of glucose to pyruvate. The Entner-doudoroff pathway, Pentose phosphate pathway and the Embden-meyerhof pathway

  • Thank you so much for helping me with cell respiration. please continue on to make more videos. (photosynthesis!!)

    you are a very good teacher, and I am so happy to have seen this vid.

  • I LOVED the hot potato analogy!!!

    Very well explained :)

  • You are an incredible teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I feel much more confident for my exam tomorrow.

  • Thank you so much professor! I definitely had an epiphany. : ) You should come teach for us at UCLA!!!

  • THANK YOU professor Fink, I finaly can understand it and remember it :D Yeay, within 11u20min I have the examination, but unfortunatly this is just like 20 pages of the 252 pages..

    Greetings from Belgium

  • Much Mahalos to you Professor! I am a Russian, and I understood you much faster and easier than trying to do the same by reviewing the text book. Aloha!

  • respect man!!!

    you are awesome!!!

  • respected sir,you are my biology god.,i want to touch your foot to have your blessings(as per my indian tradition)i pray with god to give u health ,wealth and energy.thank u very much sir

  • thanks this really helps

  • You sir, are a saint.

  • wth he didnt go over ATP synthase or any of the 4 complexes

  • Thanks!

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS!!! My prof is soo boring that I never paid attention in class... but you are so exciting made me really pay attention and learn

  • THANKS!!!

    HOT POTATO HYDROGENS.... AND IT's HOT!!

  • You're great thanks so much

    Im confused though bec my teacher said that 36 ATPs are producd in total? anyone?

  • Keep in mind that an investment of 2 ATP was made to produce 36 ATP giving you a net of 34 ATP.

  • NM, Im wrong. See super comander 1 post.

  • Its an estimate number. We can't make a cell to only do ETS therefore we estimate it around 34 to 38 ATP.

  • Thank you ! for making it simple
