Organelles

My name is nucleus, I’m the
brain of the cell
I give orders to all the organelles
I got DNA, it’s the
blueprint of your body
The way I’m put together,
yo I’m a real hottie

Got a nuclear membrane surrounding me
And a nucleolus in the middle can’t you see
Well that’s about it I’m all out of time
Golgi apparatus is gonna bust a rhyme

Organelles, they’re the little things inside of
your cells
Organelles, and after this song you will know
them so well

I’m a golgi apparatus and I look a little funny
Sorta like some ribbons and my job is so money
I pack things up and send them on their way
I wish I had more time cause I got a lot to say
So I’ll leave you with this, scientists have found
I’m a stack of vesicles that are membrane bound

What up ya’ll lysosome is in the hizzy
I’m an eating machine and my skills would make you
dizzy
How do I perform intracellular digestion?
Hydrolytic enzymes are the answer to your question
So if you see little balls inside a cell
That’s me lysosome digesting so well

Now it’s time for the energy maker
The powerhouse, I’m a real booty shaker
I make ATP out of oxygen and food
What’s my name? Mitochondria dude

I look like a jellybean with squiggles inside
Which are called cristae and I sport them with
pride
Without me making ATP, there would be no
producer of energy
So give me recognition cause I ain’t no bumb
Enter, endoplasmic reticulum

Organelles, they’re the little things inside of your
cells
Organelles, and after this song you will know them
so well
You can call me ER for short
In the game of the cell I’m a real good sport
There are 2 different versions of me
One smooth, one rough, and it’s easy to see
Why I get those names cause on the rough version
I’m covered in dots, this is quite and excursion
QuickTime™ and a

The dots are called ribosomes and what do
they do?
They make protein and I transport it for you

My smooth ER brother doesn’t have
ribosomes
And right outside the nucleus is where we call
home

Cytoplasm is the juice inside
It offers organelles a place to reside
The gel like environment that it gives
Allows the organelles to move, so the cell
lives

Let’s wrap things up with the cell membrane
Without this guy, the cell would go insane!
It surrounds the cell, this is what it’s about
It lets some stuff in, and some stuff out
Osmosis and diffusion is how he gets it done
He’s made of phospholipids and protein pumps
Organelles, they’re the little things inside of
your cells

Now that the song is coming to an end
I hope you’ve enjoyed this lesson my friend
Without the organelles all working as a team
Homeostasis would be just a dream
