"Every time I see one of these videos, it occurs to me that we are seeing even these operations in a greatly simplified form"

And that is one of the advantages of presenting information in this way, i.e. that of presenting only those aspects of a function that needs to be comprehended and retained. The accuracy of the depiction may be lacking in some cases, but if it conveys useful knowlege it passes muster. I regard it as a kind of 'visual metaphor'. LeeBowman

Every time I see one of these videos, it occurs to me that we are seeing even these operations in a greatly simplified form, and that a eukaryote is *insanely* more complex than we presently imagine; yet we are tasked with believing that it all came from materialistic processes. EvilSnack
