(LYRICS)Well, the party starts in the cytoplasm
And its called glycolysis (alright)
It doesn't need no oxygen
Tha'ts just the way it IS
So I grabbed 2 glucose molecules
And about two ATP
I split the glucose, make 2 NADH
And I got more energyI am releasing
stored energy
That I’ve had inside my leaves (Alright)
If you listen you might learn something
That you just can't believe (I can't believe)
Its like digestion for us and that’s because
We make our own food in this nation (yee, yee)
And you’ve probably guessed what this song is about
Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration(Yee, yee)
In the powerhouse inside of myself
I mix my coenzyme and pyruvate (What else can I do?)
And that combo, though it’s hard to pronounce makes acetyl coA (coa)
It goes through a bunch of reactions
And energy is what the nadh grabs (I swear to God)
But why is it called the krebs cycle if there arent any crabs? (i don’t know)
It’s glycolysis
The krebs cycle
But thats not all that i need
The electron transport train
Is the one missing thing (Oh, c'mon!)
Takes place in the inner mitochondria membrane
When i’m done i’ll have a celebration
But i need to finish this one last step
In cellular respiration
(Woo!, C'mon now, You make me digest my glucose, baby)
Well folks, we got to talking Next thing that i know
My electrons start to pump hydrogen
And i produce 12 h20
I made 32 atp but that’s not for me
Those are my waste products(I don’t need em)
And i’d say that this process is
Pretty deluxe (it’s pretty good)
Now honey, I know it might take a while
Because we all need a vacation(I understand)
But soon ill have to start again With cellular respiration
