sung to “Car Wash” by Rolls Royce
Cell Membranes = Semi permeable
Cell Membranes = Fluid Mosaic Model
Cell Membranes = Phospholipid Bilayer
Cell Membranes = Selectively permeable
Cell Membranes = proteins & lipids
Cell Membranes = Double Layer
Ooh, ooh
You might not ever
see it well
But let me tell ya
It’s found in all your
cells
Without it cells
would surely
leak
It’s how they
excrete their
wastes
and also how they
eat
Talking ‘bout
membranes
Talking ‘bout cell
membranes now
Come on and sing
it with me
(membranes)
Sing it with the
feelin' ya'll
(cell membranes
now)
Some of the work
sure ain’t easy
Active transport
requires
Energy from ATP
But without energy
is okay
if molecules are
small
Diffusion and
osmosis make a
way
Talking ‘bout
membranes
Talking ‘bout cell
membranes now
Come on and sing it
with me
(membranes)
Sing it with the feelin'
ya'll
(cell membranes now)
In and out
Well, those solutes
never seem to stop
coming
In and out
Keep those lipids and
proteins humming
In and out
semi-permeable
membrane
In and out
those phospholipids
never complain
Hey,
Get your nutrients today
And get rid of wastes
this way
Move things through
your cells this way
ATP,
it will pay
Talking ‘bout
membranes
Talking ‘bout cell
membranes now
Come on and sing it
with me
(membranes)
Sing it with the
feelin' ya'll
(cell membranes
now)
Talking ‘bout
membranes
Talking ‘bout cell
membranes now
Come on and sing it
with me
(membranes)
Sing it with the feelin'
ya'll
(cell membranes now)
