Cell Respiration Rap
A remake of the Red Hot Chili
Peppers "Californication"
It all starts in your stomach
With that awful, deep sensation
You fill your mouth with food
That comes from Photo-syn-thization
And as you chew amylase eats
through
It's straight up mastication
And the enzymes start to break
down food
Catabolic transformation
The glucose travels through
Your blood, its active
transportation
It moves across cell membranes,
now
To Cellular Respiration
It all starts with glycolysis
Anaerobically ensuing
A molecule of glucose used
2 pryuvates it's producing
But is that all?
No that's not all!
2 Molecules of ATP(e)
2 Molecules of NADH
Pryuvates move to the
mitochondria
And go through some conversions
They transform to acetyl CoA
And that's the alteration
We get out one NADH
Now on to a rotation
The Krebs cycle goes round and
round
Every turn yields one TriPhosphate
We also get one FADH2
Which is used in the final
formation
With 3 NADHs Now
Electron Translocation
That's the end of the current
phase
The next has oxidation
Now let's move to the final stage
Of Cellular Respiration
Just get a clue
As we move to
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Oxidative Phosphorylation
FADH2 is the silver in the cell
NADH is the gold
FADH2 becomes 2 ATP
When everything unfolds
NADH becomes 3 ATP
Now come forth and behold
ADP becomes ATP
When everything is converted
The terminal bond it is the key
When a phosphate is inserted
The dews of heaven
distilled upon you
Food from Photo-syn-thi-zation
Glycolysis and Transformation
Oxidative Phosphorylation
And that's the end of Respiration
Another Rap
YA KREBS CYCLE YA!
Chorus:
Glycolysis, the citric acid cycle,
used to be krebs but they didn't
like him
Chemiosmosis, and fermentation,
are very similar functions of
anerobic respiration.
That is the cell, it uses ATP
Oxygen doesn't grow on trees
You may ask"What does it mean
to me?"
You use celluar respiration to
harvest your energy.
Glucose is the sugar used, oxygen
is important too.Co2 is giving off
carboxyl groups made them new.
Pyruvate then becomes converted
and Acetyl CoA in the cell is
gurded with water and NAD+,
reduction with an H is a must.
(Chorus once more)
OOH YOU HAD THAT COMING,
you had that coming.
What's and nahs.
Lemme' tell you about the new
part of celluar respiration it's
called oxidative phosphorolation,
its the time to synthesize ATP, its
what makes the energy for you
and me. It's made by my boy ATP
synthase, makes it from ADP and
inorganic phosphate,
chemiosmosis puts the flow across
the head, makes all the nerds
wanna yell
KREBS CYCLE YA!
(Chorus)
Ya ya ya..yaya...ya..yayaya..yaya
Whats and Nah's.
Breakdown:
Glucose breakdown its an
exergonic process, losing its
energy makes the ladies
impressed. Glucose is the fuel cells
most often use, if its gonna be
replaced gotta fill some big shoes.
Catabolic pathways do not move
flagella, or perform work, its not a
working fella. For these things its
ATP that it needs, once its got it, it
bleeds Energy!
We have proteins inside cristae,
that carry on the electron chain,
but I want you to take the advice
of Mrs. B, electron chain doesn't
make ATP.
How bout my brotha' named
F.A.D., straight up thug..E..E..E..E!
Bad for the cell you know he's
gonna be, cracking skulls with all
the guns he has.
(Chorus)
Cellular Respiration Song
Based on Black Eyed Pea's "I Gotta
Feeling."
Cell Respiration
It's a long complicated process
That I need to know for a Bio test,
But it turns my brain into a huge
big mess
Cell Respiration
It breaks down food to release
energy
Food molecules are glucose
specifically
You need oxygen to oxidize
thoroughly
Cell Respiration (Woo Hoo)
It gives off some carbon dioxide
Also water's made off to the side,
But the ATP is why we got on this
ride
Cell Respiration (Woo Hoo)
It's made up of 3 main stages,
But it takes up so many pages,
And to know it all seems to take
many ages
Glycolysis (lysis means split)
Is what's first up (in the
cytoplasm)
Takes one glucose (6 carbons)
And splits it up
To do this right (it)
Phosphorylates (from)
2 ATP (so)
2 ADP are....made!
Now that the glucose has
phosphate
It breaks into 2 molecules that
seem like mates
2 NAD+ come and oxidize them,
Which mean they take electrons
and hydrogen (gen gen gen)
Add free phosphates
Now we're set
2 ADP (it's really 4)
and 3 carbon...met
Phosphates break off
ATP made...
Left with pyruvate (there's 2 of
them)
And they go to the Krebs Cycle
Krebs Cycle, which happens in the
mitochondria,
Oh no wait, not really, there's
transition step
Let's count the ATP
4 were made, but 2 were spent
That means 2 ATP
were profited in
Glycolysis (woo hoo)
It didn't need any oxygen
2 NADH now have hydrogen
and 2 pyruvate molecules were
made in the end
Transition Step (woo hoo)
NAD+ oxidizes pyruvate
1 carbon is lost along the way
And both molecules turn into
Acetyl-CoA
Now 2 carbons (carried by
Coenzyme A)
Krebs Cycle's next (in the matrix)
4 carbon molecule (already there)
The two connect (now 6 carbons)
Gets oxidized (by NAD+)
1 carbon left (CO2 gone)
Will do this twice (numbers
doubled)
4 carbons ...are left
1 ATP (made)
oxidize (by the)
NAD+ (and...)
FADH
Molecule change (no carbon lost)
Atoms rearrange (still 4 carbons)
Looks like the start
(wooooooO~~~)
And then we'll do it again
Krebs Cycle repeats twice,
because 2-pyruvate
were made in (gly)colysis; let's
count it up
We now have (4) ATP (6) CO2 and
then these guys
10 NA(DH) 2 FA(DH2) bring
electrons to ETC:
Electron Transport Chain
Inner membrane-brane-branebrane-brane
Of the mitochondria
Proteins in lane-lane-lane-lanelane
Electrons from NADH
Pass through 3 proteins-teinsteins-teins
Electrons from FADH2
Pass through 2 proteins-teinsteins-teins
As the electrons pass through the
proteins pump out
Hydrogen ions called protons to
the
Inter-Intermembrane space
A concentrated place (place)
Protons will return through the
(A)ATP Synthase
ATP Synthase (ma~~~akes)
32 ATP from returning protons
6 oxygen molecules get the
electrons
And they combine to make 6
water with hydrogen ions
Cell Respiration (woo hoo)
Now I know the entire process
If I study I'll do well on the Bio test
And afterwards I'll get a good,
good rest
