great share..

Could you use ATP for replacing fossil fuel by efficient (and hopefully simple) synthesis under room temperatures? I don't like all the storage problems H2 gives us.
PS: This is no joke question.

These videos are great because my teacher for ap biology does not teach at all.
-
his videos are just a forum for people to slag of their lecturer's
-
i like his handwriting
-
@gamingforyou69 go on his channel, n u'll find out
-
If these guys know so much about this topic (comment above), why are they watching these videos? stop giving me nightmares that khan academy makes a mistake.

@godsownphilosopher how is it that energy is released when bonds are formed? I can understand that it "costs" energy to cleave (good word, btw) a phosphate from its "comfortable configuration" (as a physicist, I might use the phrase "least potential state"), but it's hard for me to picture a release of energy upon bonding. What form does it take? Sorry for my lack of knowledge in physical chemistry :)

A man walks into a bar and says, ' I'll have have a pint of adenosine triphosphate, please', and the barman says, 'That'll be ATP please'.

Just a clarification:
The energy is not released when the bond is broken. From the perspective of physical chemistry, energy is released only when bonds are formed. In the case of ATP, simply cleaving ATP is actually an energy investment - energy is only gained when the third phosphate becomes attached to another molecule. As an example, the free P may causes changes to the shape of an enzyme, which, in attaining a more energetic form, may facilitate the otherwise hefty amino-tRNA synthesis.

I wish you were my professor. This really helped.
