TED-Ed: The operating system of life - George Zaidan and Charles Morton

The video uses a factory analogy to explain how cells function, highlighting the shared goal of all lifeforms to perpetuate existence. It describes the cell's components, such as the nucleus, DNA, RNA, and proteins, and explains how they work together to maintain life. The video also covers biochemistry, focusing on energy management and the chemical currencies used in cellular processes. It concludes by discussing how organisms adapt to challenges and the similarities across different species.
