Cellular Respiration Song - That's What I Like

LYRICS

Hey, hey, hey
I got a bio test that’s happenin’
But I feel like it’s so challengin’
So you and your friends invited
‘Cuz there’s no time for nappin’
Come sing it for me now, sing-sing it for me
Turn around and bring it for the test, bring-bring it for me
I'll take some glucose and some O2, give you
Water and CO2 (true)
Adenosine triphosphate (what?)
Sounds like it’s a sauce mate
But it stores our energy- sto- stores our energy
It’s long for ATP, I said it’s long for ATP (yeah)

Step 1: Glycolysis
(happens in the cytoplasm)
Glucose broken down
(gimme some enthusiasm)
Creates 2 ADP, 2 NADH
And 2 pyruvate molecules

There are 4 stages to this
First up is glycolysis,
Then pyruvate oxidation, then number 3
Is Krebs cycle and number 4 is ETC
There are 4 stages to this,
But you can learn it in bits
That cellular respiration, respiration
That cellular respiration, respiration

Pyruvate oxidation
Remove a carbon from formation
Oxidized pyruvate //(NAD+)
Turns into (what), acetylCo (ayy)
We’re halfway there, don’t even get distressed
I promise that you’ll be ready for your test

Krebs Cycle is precise
Everything will happen twice
Mitochondrial matrix
4 carbons already waiting
They connect! (oxidized!) NAD+! (1 carbon left)
1 ATP (1 ATP) and I'll agree, baby
Molecules rearrange
(Girl, let's put some miles on it)
Faster than the stock exchange
(4ATP 6CO2)
You deserve it baby, almost learned it all
So let’s go and think back recall

There are 4 stages to this
First up is glycolysis,
Then pyruvate oxidation, then number 3
Is Krebs cycle and number 4 is ETC
There are 4 stages to this,
But you can learn it in bits
That cellular respiration, respiration
That cellular respiration, respiration

Electron transport chain and chemiosmosis
Mitochondria baby, interior membrane
Electrons pass through different numbers of proteins
They work like machines
But in exchange, they pump out protons to the
Intermembrane space
The protons will then be transported back through
ATP Synthase

There are 4 stages to this
First up was glycolysis
Then pyruvate oxidation, then number 3,
is Krebs cycle and number 4, is ETC

38 ATP made
Only 1 glucose was paid
That's cellular respiration, respiration
That's cellular respiration, respiration
