In the "Ritmos Biológicos" YouTube video, the speaker explores the concept of biological rhythms, which are cyclical changes in biological variables in organisms resulting from sequences of processes operating at different velocities. These rhythms can be divided into those aligned with intrinsic properties and geophysical cycles, such as the day-night cycle. The day-night cycle brings about various conditions associated with light, including vision and photosynthesis, as well as potential damage due to solar radiation. The speaker also discusses circadian rhythms, which have 24-hour cycles, and ultradian and infradian rhythms with shorter and longer cycles, respectively. Organisms in coastal intertidal zones adjust their activity cycles based on tidal and lunar rhythms, increasing their chances of survival. The biological clock maintains circadian rhythms, and research suggests the nucleus supraquiasmático, a small group of neurons located in the brain, could be the biological clock. The molecular clock mechanism involves negative feedback loops involving proteins PERIOD (PER) and REVERBALpha (RVER), forming a negative feedback loop that regulates the circadian rhythm.
