Bacteria Flagellar Motor #learnontiktok #intelligentdesign #evolution #molecular #nanomachine #learning #funfacts #biotok #Science #stem #3danimation #atp #biochemistry #coolscience #simulation #atpsynthase #ATP #blender3d A cut-open E. coli slice simulated based on real structures and biology, every molecule you see is a real one: its shape was worked out atom by atom by scientists,using electron microscopes ,X-ray crystallography et al. Everything is drawn to true scale; only time is slowed, about 200×.The sound is not REAL though :) The yellow machine is the flagellar motor: a rotor about 50 nm across, driven by protons flowing through its stator units, turning the hook and filament at ~100 turns per second. Watch how the singal travel to falgelar motor. The teal structures at the lower right are the cell’s “nose” (chemoreceptor array): they sense what’s outside. When the "smell" (for example, nutrient molecules) changes, a protein at their base hands a chemical tag (phosphorylation) to a small messenger. The tagged messenger (orange, cheY) drifts across the cell and latches onto the bottom ring of the motor. When enough of them are attached, the ring flips — the flash is the switch — and the motor runs backwards. Backwards, the propellers fly apart and the cell tumbles; forwards again, it sets off in a new direction. That’s how a cell with no brain finds its way to food. Also in the picture: two more rotary machines (ATP synthase)at the upper left that make the cell’s fuel from the same ion current, a pump that throws out toxins, DNA being copied, a ribosome building a protein, and the three-layer wall with its sugar forest on the outside.
