  • FAD is a gun on mw3 all you guys are wrong.....so ya....

  • Professor Fink, I just took my test on cellular respiration today and I was very confused by my textbook's explanation. I wish I had watched these videos before today. Just in this ONE video I have probably learned more than I could have ever gleaned from my textbook's complicated explanation. You sir, are THE DEFINITION of a GOOD teacher.

  • I have a hard time understanding textbook explanations. I do much better with analogies or some visual explanation. A good professor is in fact, KEY!!! Thank you very much for this. I also just wanted to ask a question about ATP. I do understand the lecture much better than anything I was reading but just to be clear, are you saying, (just as an analogy) .. could glucose could be compared to say water and once it breaks up for the purpose of creating ATP it would be the steam from water??

  • final tommorow, U saved my grade. Thanks.

  • Professor Fink, you're awesome. I hardly ever say that about professors or teachers, especially nowadays, but truly you are one of a kind. I wish you allll the best and you deserve a lot for what you do. You are the true defintion of how a professor/ teacher should be. You make students' lives a lot easier. Thank you :)

  • GAHHHOYVENMAIVEN!!!!!! professor fink

  • you sir, are the definition of a proper teacher. Well done sir.

  • Finally it starts to make sense.I thought I will crash my head into something because I couldn't understand it.Thanks.

  • This is a very good, informative video! But there is a mistake in the end, because NAD+ molecules take only one H+ and two electrons, so it should be 2 molecules of NADH instead of NAD-H2.

  • You are absolutely correct.

    I purposely said "NAD-H2" for simplicity & so it resembles "FAD-H2".

    For most students knowing that NAD takes 1 proton & 2 electrons is not essential.

    Thanks for your observation! -- professor fink

  • Bless you Mr. Fink, your getting me through this cellular insanity, and my essay. My bio book explains this process in an excruciating manner where as you illustrate it clearly, thoroughly, and in a common language that make this knowledge easier to absorb. I can literally throw my biology text book in the trash because I can get 10x the understanding from your videos. I bet that I can now explain "cellular respiration" far better then my bio instructor/bio book. Thank you!

  • @seatsbackcadillac Funny you should say that. When I started taking these bio classes for fun after being out of school for years I was puzzled as to why I was reading and rereading the book and getting bad grades. I realized that if I l use the text as a picture book and take copious notes plus recording the lectures, I no longer needed to waste time reading the book. Sciences are not harder, they just take more time than most other majors. Having a good professor is key! Thanks Prof Fink.

  • Our biology teacher sucks :( :D

  • @Royrommy yeah so does mine, welcome to the club lol

  • wow... he has alot of boards...

  • Mr. Fink is an amazing professor. I am lucky he is my bio teacher, thankful to be in his class :)

  • Thank you so much for these Lectures, it has been very helpful, I understand cellular respiration much better now:)

  • Some college profeessor needs to look at this video and see where their downfalls are and bring their commitment level up to the same level as Pro. Fink. Other professors know this stuff but don't explain it like they should. We are in class to learn so teach us because we obviously don't know this subject! GREAT VIDEO !

  • i love you!!! genius!!!! and such talent for teaching!!!

  • this is very useful to me. thanks for posting this, prof fink!

  • Hands down the best teacher i have ever had at any level. I have attended both prestigious schools and not so prestigious schools before and i have never met a teacher come close to being as great as this guy. His teaching style is beyond superb. He teaches in a way that makes the material fairly easy to understand and to remember. If only all teachers in this country were as good as him, our education system would be a lot better and our future would look a lot brighter.

  • lol we r learning this right now for 9th grade never knew they taught it in university

  • teach me how to fink

  • THANK YOU! You are very clear and straight forward. I finally understand ETC!

  • And I'll tell you what a vigina looks like.

  • @Eloise7771 i agree... and he is my professor...!! :D

  • I love this man he is a genius

  • I took your Anatomy course at SMC, I really wish you taught Physio there too! :(

  • LOVE IT ..Great work...and love the clapping lol

  • THANKYOU THIS SAVED MY LIFE :D

  • sir.its a wonderful lecture.sir is it possible that u also guide us in process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS and C4,CAM CYCLE ?????????PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  • not only is it a super helpful lecture, the board pwns on epic proportions.

  • Fantastic - thank you. Just mae CR so much more understandable. Laundramat analogy - just brilliant!

  • hey

    in AP Bio having the hardest time with this concept and watching your video in just a few minutes gave me such a clear understanding. thanks so much

  • thanks, you really know how to communicate the material on the average person's level. "unlike my biology proffesor"

  • HANDS DOWN. THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION I'VE EVER HEARD ON CELLULAR RESPIRATION!! I've searched high and low for a good understanding. My textbook sucks, my bio teacher is trying to show of his intellect. this is the clearest explanation and I understand all of. Thank you Prof Fink. You are Da Shit!!!

  • Professor Fink, thank you.

  • I love the laundromat analogy. I wish by biochem prof in med school were as clear about these concepts.

  • not a bad video but I have a problem with the analogy. Only about 40 percent of the energy from the glucose ends up as ATP. The other 60 percent is released as heat. Maybe you could work a tax into your analogy?

  • omg thank you god!

    i found help my biology teacher explains this to me and i didn't understand one thing i like contemplated to just fail the class and not care but i actually kind of understand this thank you!

  • Great explanation!!! Thanks :)

  • you are a godsend. truly a gifted teacher. thank you for sharing with us, sir!

  • Brilliant explanations.

    Conceptually crystal-clear.

    Lovely post.

    would make it easier for many who find this topic challenging.

    thanks for sharing Prof.

  • Professor, I want you to teach all my classes!!! Everything you say makes sense and I actually understand the subject.

    Thank you!

  • Great explaining! This is so helpful right now you dont even know!

  • Professor, do you have a video explaining photosynthesis?

  • DR FINK , YOU SIR ARE A GIFT FROM GOD!!!!!!

  • you sir are a saint!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH.. this kicks my text books ass!

  • This is excellent. I'm in General Bio at my University and this helped me out a lot.  Thank you!

  • this is the most useful guy in explaining biology :) thanks fink, from scotland

  • Boy, am I glad that I found this video; I was having a bit of trouble with this topic. All I have to say to Professor Fink is... we're not worthy! we're not worthy!

  • Why can't my professor be like you?

  • I think I love you

  • This video made my studying so much more easier:))))

  • Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Vaclav Havel -- Just when I was seriously feeling a need to give up on succeeding at Microbiology, a light came on. :-) Professor Fink (youtube) is a genius! Thank you, Professor, for sharing your knowledge and helping me to understand the big picture!!!

  • Professor Fink,

    Are there any similiar cellular respiration systems that work in the absence of NAD?

  • I wish I had him for my A&P professor. My current teacher BUTCHERED the process. Thank you Dr. Fink for posting these lectures

  • in other words the cells need smaller energy molecules in order to work. Since glucose molecules are too big, I'm thinking ATP is more appropriate for cells.

    Any correction ?? Anyone??

  • Hi, may I know what is Pro. Fink saying in 7:15 that "...and it transfer two hydrogen atoms two ..(something)tine"? sorry can't here it properly and not so familiar with the names

  • thank you prof. Fink ... this video made me understand the concept and encouraged to find and read more abt the topic.

  • thank you for this lecture

  • I have installed flash player

  • this is going to help me on my final thanks man 

  • Thank you thank you, you've helpt me alot!!

  • good lecture captures key points...what school is this lecture from?

  • @binbinky78

    This was originally prepared as a 50-minute Lecture on Cellular Respiration for Biology 3, an introductory college biology course, given at West Los Angeles College.

    -- professor fink

  • @professorfink

    I just want to let you know how much I appreciated these videos! I not only learned sooo much from them, but you have a terrific way of getting the whole process across in the way you deliver the material. I would have been lost without you and this has boosted my confidence level tremendously. You have truly helped me to understand the whole cellular respiration process in a way my teacher could not (and was not) able to do. Thank You!!

  • @professorfink you sir, are badass! thx

  • @binbinky78 I agree. GREAT LECTURE. I was lost until I watched this. Totally worth watching!

  • In just one clip video he has made more sense than 2 weeks of my teacher writing equations on the white board... thank God for Prof Fink, I will be watching the entire series.

  • I think the release of energy when breaking down ATP into ADP + Pi is caused by the fact that the inorganic phosphate group (Pi) dissolves in the water. Water attached to and surrounds the phosphate molecule, releasing massive amounts of energy. This overcomes the breaking of the ATP bond which is endothermic.

  • @samfreemanwatford

    I don't think that water alone explains the release of energy by ATP.

    Without the enzyme Adenosine Triphosphatase (ATPase) and Ca+2 (as a coenzyme), the ATP would not release its energy, even surrounded in water.

    -- professor fink

  • Wow excellent and very clear. i wish i had him for bio. see i always say to simplify something complicated is an act of brilliance but to complicated something simple is an act representing lack of knowledge. He has obviously simplified the process for me. Thnx again.

  • Freaking Brilliant explanation! Where were u in my college years. I could have amount to something. :*)

  • Thanks Professor! I love your videos, you are helping me pass microbiology!

  • um. you rock!

  • Prof Fink, this is very helpful for me, thank you very much from bottom from my heart....

  • Thank you so much, I just was not understanding the textbook's explanation

  • You are awesome!!!

    I got my first A in AP Bio because of you!!

    THANKS

  • professorfink i thank you very much i aced my exam because you made it so easy to understand the cell respiration.

  • he is briliant

    im from belguim.. and i learned more by watching these videos then by listing to my prof

  • your amazying

  • You are fantastic.

  • I LOVE you! Between my bio textbooks and my professors confusing lectures I was getting nowhere with this subject. You are a gifted teacher. Thank you.

  • so helpfull!!!!!

  • WOW i wish you were my Biology teacher..!

    thanks professorfink.

    From London

  • WOW! Photosynthesis is a piece-a-cake compared to Cellular Respiration!! Anyway, Thanks Professor FINK for making ancient hieroglyphic's, that is Cellular Respiratory, read like a "See Jane Run" book! If I pass my exam Monday ... it'll be in part to your instruction.

  • Professor Fink...you are a genius..!!!!!

  • In a single test tube reaction... breaking bonds is endothermic (because you need energy to break the bonds) and creating bonds is exothermic (like clapping you hands, a sound is released).

    Overall though, after a series of reactions, like those of cellular respiration, breaking bonds is exothermic and creating bonds is endothermic.

    I used this video in grade 11 and now the topic came up again so i decided to refresh my memory.

    Thanks a lot!

  • Appreciate the help.

    You explain wayyyyyyyyyyy better than my Bio teacher.

  • Professor Fink! Thanks a lot for this video!!!! You are an amazing professor! Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Breaking of bonds is endothermic therefore absorbs energy...making bonds releases energy and is exothermic...biology teachers always say the breakdown of glucose releases energy...How?

  • Your statement is exactly backwards!

    The breaking of bonds releases energy (ie, it is exothermic). -- professor fink

  • @professorfink Erm i thought breaking of bonds require energy, therefore is endothermic.

    And forming of bonds requires the molecules to release energy, therefore being endothermic.

    Could you clarify please?

  • Sometimes an "Activation Energy" is required to initiate a biochemical reaction (even one that involves the breaking of bonds). However, there is an overall net release of energy.

    -- professor fink

  • Do you have any videos on oxidation and reduction? I know it is a simple concept, but I am having a hard time understanding. I think because I need to visually see what is happening. Trying to understand for Krebs and Glycolysis.

    thanks

  • oh my goodness! I like the way you explain everything. I am a need to know why person and you explain why things are names a certain way and it helps. Gives meaning to me so that I can learn, not just memorize.

  • i freakin love you fink!!!!!

  • I love you!

  • Thank you Sir!!!!!

  • Nice job! I wish you were teaching my chemistry class.

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH PROFESSOR! I can't tell you how grateful I am for these videos. Excellent.

  • OMG I've been trying to understand this for a long time, and finallyyyyy IT MAKES SENSE !!! THANKS A MILLION !!!

  • thank you so much. i finally understand this...it was always so boring and long winded when i learned it in biology and then again in ap bio so i always tuned out the teacher (who thought they were doing a great job of teaching when they were really just reading out of the book) but you've really explained it. i really hope you make more videos! thank you soooo much!

  • Thanks so much Professor! Tomorrow I have a test about this and now I'm way more confident about getting a good mark! I recomended it to all my friends after watching all of your videos. Thanks so much.

    Greetings from the Netherlands.

  • AAAH biology tommorow. least i understand this. thnx for putting it helps alot. =D

  • wow..i have the feeling im actually gonna pass my exams next week :D

  • @5PRUN6

    CAYATE

  • God bless this man, if I pass my final tomorrow its all thanks to this man :)

  • OMG you are going to get me in pharmacy school! Will you marry me?

  • Comment removed

  • lmao hes very passionate

  • no simpsons?

  • норм читает

  • thanks this explained so much

  • I wish your my prof :D

  • Thank You so much ! You're the best !

  • I'm a third year high school biology teacher, and admitedly, I suck at explaining cellular respiration in a way that the kids understand. This is so awesome and easy to understand, and I'm definitely going to model his approach. Heck, I'm almost tempted to just show the video and skip teaching it myself this year :-P

  • Professor Fink, thanks a million for making this video. You explained this a heck of a lot better than my bio professor did. You rock!

  • excellent teacher!

  • omg from no explanation from teachers to one video and click it all makes sense!

  • WoW!!! What an awesome professor! Thank you sooo much! This was extremely helpful!

  • omg this guy is GOOD!

  • I hope u make alot of money, you made me understand this more in 8min over my professor for 2hrs.

  • HI Mr. Fink!

    Thank you for posting this helpful video i'm one of your students this fall and i'm suprised how easy you explained Cellular respiration. The laundry mate analogy is really helpful to the non- science majors. :)

  • this is brilliant.

  • WOW! thanks so much:) your amazing..

  • You are truly my savior professor! You explain whole lot better than my bio teacher who spends like 4 days for this 8 minute thing.

  • Awesome teacher!, wow made it soo simpe, richard kent got some competition

  • I wish professors could change their teaching styles similar to his. then i would get As in every course.

  • thanks PROFESSOR FINK !

    i'm one of your fan

  • The $10 bill and quarter @ the laundromat analogy was really helpful. What a great help this video was. I'm a very visual person but I can't learn unless the lesson comes alive for me, and you've done just that. Thank you so much, Professor Fink!

  • Man this guy must kick ass!

    Smacking them hands pretty hard!

    Students gets outta line.......and SMACK!

    XD Your an awesome teacher!

  • Professor Fink, you are awesome!! I'm attending a community college and majoring in nursing. We are in the middle of the semester and am struggling in my microbiology class and watching a few of your videos I feel I'm fully understanding it even though I have read my text book numerous times!!

  • couldn't have explained batter!!!

  • i was about to drop my BIO1115 class tcause i couldn't understand fuckin cellular respiration. but alas, along comes mr fink. and now i understand.

    mr fink, you are a pimp

    your pimp juice is strong.

  • ur such a beast..thnx man keep these comin

  • Firstly your awesome my science teacher sucks cant teach for shit. secendly Agreed with Purl82 and Christoninov thirdly keep putting those videos to help us kids in grade 11.

  • Just want to let you know, almost ALL of my class and I mean ALL used your videos to pass our bio test. it was so funny, everyone was like ya i didn't get cell resp but then i found this professors videos on u tube. PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS TO HELP STUDENTS WHEN THEIR BIO TEACHERS SUCK!!!

  • Major League teaching right there. Nice analogy. Pro.

  • Professor Fink,

    Agree with the comment below. You rock!!!!!!!! Thank you!

  • Prof Fink, you taught me in one day what my teacher couldn't teach me in 1 week. ily.. i wanna eat you're proteins xD

  • O: muchas grasias, i want a professor that teaches like yoou!! i´ve to explain all of this to my classmates so when i read i didn´r understand most of it, haha but seeing this video it helps a LOOOT! really thank you so much , dios lo bendiga(:

  • Awesome ! Thank you so much !

  • GREAT EXPLANATION.!THE BEST

  • Awesome Professor!!!  Biology, Physiology, Anatomy!!!!

  • prof. fink- you are an uberbeast. were watching this in 9th grade bio, yet i still understand it. i love you:)

  • Gracias, mate. We really appreciate your videos, Professor.

  • LIFE SAVER!!!!

    you are the man!

  • i think i love you. im going to pass my exams because of you.

    may god give you life for 110 years

  • thanks SO much!!!! this helped aloooot :)

  • this helped ALOT!! thanksss :)

  • what grades do you teach in biology? is this grade 11 enriched biology or 12 ?

  • Youre bad ass! Thank you!

  • Hi Professor Fink...I'm so elated when I stumbled into your videos...you are the best!!!!

    I wish you can make more videos or even a video for each subject you teach...I will definitely invest in them because they are worth every dime I spend. Thank you so much for making these videos available to us. I did check your website with the hope to find what I needed.... I'll keep checking..... More power!!!

  • Thnx a lot. Your my kinda teacher

  • I have a question, if water is a product in cellular respiration, why do we still need to drink water?

  • Good Question.

    We produce about 200 ml of water by aerobic respiration each day. But we lose each day about 1,500 ml of water in our urine, 600 ml of water by sweating, and 300 ml through our breath.

    So, we need to drink additional water to make up the overall loss!

  • Hi Professor Fink, I took your physio class at WLA and you are the best teacher I have ever had. I was wondering if you can post videos on oxygenation, please!!!!

  • Thank you very much. Your explanation was very helpful! I hope you continue your lectures as i will definitely be using them

  • Thank you so much.. A THOUSAND TIMES THANK YOU. I understand EVERYTHING.... my teacher in AP Bio doesnt explain anything =/. PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR LECTURES!

    thank you ( did i say that enough? haha)

  • Thank you for your kind words.

    I appreciate it alot! -- professor fink

  • youroe the best =D

  • Where would the world be without Professor Fink? Thanks so Much!

  • Comment removed

  • This guy's a good teacher. Thankyou for the video.

  • You are a wonderful, wonderful man. And I like your voice just fine!

  • Comment removed

  • Thank-you sooo much Proffesor Fink! I was having a really hard time undersatanding cellular respiration and the Krebs cycle. After watching all seven of your videoes a few times, I finally got it. Love your analogies. I told my prof about the hot potatoe hydrogen atoms, she loved it. Anyway, wrote a test on cellular respiration and krebs, got an A! It means alot that you did these vids, I am going to Paramedic school in January and it was really important that I understand this stuff. Thanks!!

  • Thanks a lot professor, this lecture was clear as water!!! You are a very talented professor!
