TED-Ed: Why are human bodies asymmetrical? - Leo Q. Wan

The video explores the concept of asymmetry in nature, particularly in human anatomy, where vital organs are arranged asymmetrically. It delves into embryonic development, explaining how asymmetry arises from cilia movement and gene activation. The video also examines cellular and molecular asymmetry, highlighting the role of chirality in proteins and biomolecules. Asymmetry is shown to be crucial for the proper functioning of organisms, despite the aesthetic appeal of symmetry.

In what ways do proteins exhibit asymmetry, and how does this affect cellular behavior?

Discuss the concept of chirality and its implications for molecular asymmetry.
