bio-101-lecture.mp31:12:04

00:00Alright everyone, let's pick up where we left off last week on cellular respiration.

00:11The mitochondrion is the site of cellular respiration, where most of the cell’s ATP is produced.

00:24Remember, ATP is the energy currency - basically every process in the cell pays for it.

00:37The inner membrane folds inward into structures we call cristae.

00:46Those folds dramatically increase the surface area available for the reactions.

00:58More surface area means more electron transport chains, and that means more ATP.

01:12There are three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

01:25Be able to tell glycolysis and the Krebs cycle apart - that is a common exam trap.

01:38We go deeper into the electron transport chain Thursday, so read chapter nine first.

What people are saying

Loved by students, podcasters and note-takers

I recorded hours of our family stories and Typist turned them into clean, editable text in minutes. I did not have to type a single word.

HRHannah Reyes

I have two lectures back to back and used to lose half my notes. Now I drop the recording in and get an accurate transcript before I leave the room.

DODaniel Okafor

Editing my podcast got so much faster. The transcript is accurate enough that I barely touch it, and exporting to SRT for captions is one click.

Getting started & product

One last thing

Stop typing. Start Typisting

The dictionary has a new word

typ·ist·ing
/ˈtaɪ.pɪst.ɪŋ/verb
  1. The act of having a Typist do your typing for you.
  2. Specifically, for $12.50 a month.
  3. A full-time hire that never sleeps, costs less than your coffee subscription, and types at 200× real-time.
Example of typisting in a sentence
"I was typisting all afternoon while I went for a three-hour walk."
