@ijep.studio: Seven motors, one propeller: inside the fast-swimming bacterium MO-1 Most bacteria spin a single flagellar motor at a time. MO-1, a magnetic bacterium from the Mediterranean Sea, packs seven of them side by side, with 24 thin fibrils in between, all wrapped in one sheath. Each motor is a wheel of protein spun by ions flowing into the cell. Cut the array in half and you can see the parts: filament, hook, drive shaft, rings, rotor and the export gate at the centre. The fibrils are thought to turn the opposite way, like bearings, so seven propellers can spin together without grinding. The result: about 300 micrometres a second, one of the fastest swimmers we know. Part 1 of 2. Next: how it throws all seven into reverse. #microbiology #bacteria #flagellarmotor #molecularbiology #structuralbiology #nanomachine #cellbiology #biology #science #scienceanimation #learnontiktok #ijepstudio#learnontiktok #funfacts #biotok #biology #nanomachine #flagellum #atpsynthase #learning #coolscience #scienceanimation #molecularmotor #biochemistry #fyp #simulation

Honestly if you can't blatantly see God's hand there's no argument better than this besides Jesus died for you, call to Him to be saved

What do the Bacteria cells do in order to change direction with their Flagellum motor?

the more I watch these and the more I understand. how can anyone say we're not designed or anything else living for that matter. even non biological I'm sure we could draw the same conclusion
