02/26/08 Update: Wow. What was expected to be a short movie that would circulate within a small circle of friends has turned into something much more very quickly. I'm thrilled that so many people have enjoyed this video but also somewhat mortified that I added this without my daughter's knowledge or consent. Maybe someday she will find some humor in it.
Comments: Have been disabled. I think they have run their course. To those who have sent positive comments, thank you very much. You've made us appreciate what we have even more than we already do. To those of you who've said you've changed your mind about having children, well, have at it. :)
Business inquiries/agents: Thanks for your interest. At the current time we have no intention of exposing our little one to the destroyer of youth that is the entertainment industry (with the exception of Star Wars, heh). Hopefully if she chooses to follow this path on her own someday she will find a door still open for her.
Other things:
She has never seen Pokemon so I don't think she's making a reference to the ball on that show. I think she just means pokey ball as in "a ball that is pokey." (And yes, I know what the pokey balls really are! Stop emailing :) )
Three year olds can't read. I'm sure there are exceptions to that rule.
-------------------------------------
Here is my daughter, age 3, explaining the plot of Star Wars Episode IV.
She explained the whole movie to me in much greater detail but unfortunately I didn't have the camera going. When I finally caught her talking about the movie again she delivered this truncated, but still funny, version.
Edit: Thank you all for the nice comments. Maybe I will print them out for her and someday and when she's all growed up she'll get to read them herself.
A little more about the video: She wasn't coached to say anything, nor was she forced to make the video. She rarely stops talking. Those of you with children understand this: sometimes it's harder to turn the faucet off than to turn the faucet on.
Believe it or not, she has the seem the movie only once, and I spread it out over 3 days so it wouldn't be too much all at once for her.
The video was edited to make it shorter, more cohesive and hopefully funnier. I did move some of the lines around so it would make more sense.

This is a primer to give you the big picture of what happens during Cellular Respiration. To see detailed animations of each part, look at these: Glycolysis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-stLx... The Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCypoN... Electron Transport Chain (Chemiosmosis) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idy2XA...
Animals need energy to carry out the functions of life. Taking the products of plants (Oxygen and Glucose), along with water, we create what the plants need (Carbon Dioxide) to live. At the same time, this beautifully designed system provides animals, like we humans, with all the energy necessary for life.
See more on plants role in these photosynthesis videos: Light Dependant Reactions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY1Req... Calvin Cycle ("dark" reactions) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHU27q...
ATP stands for Adenosine TriPhosphate. ATP is how we store and use energy, think of it as the cells currency. Whenever the body needs something it "buys" it with some ATP. ATP is a molecule call Adenine (adenosine once phosphates attach) with three phosphate molecules attached. Picture a kite(adenosine) with 3 big bows(phosphates) attached to the tail. The bond between the second and third phosphate is considered a high energy bond. When that third phosphate is broken off a lot of energy is available. When this happens ATP becomes ADP (Adenosine DiPhosphate). Cellular Respiration is the process the body uses to make ADP into spendable ATP once again.
Glucose, a sugar, has a chemical shape of many elements such as carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Inside our cells glucose is changed many times over as it is broken down by the body. This happens just out side and mainly inside an organelle called the mitochondria. Every element has protons and electrons, as the body breaks down sugar it will separate the electrons from the protons to use them to make a lot of ATP. Try to pay attention to two main things..
1. What are the carbon doing? How many are there? Follow the black circles(carbon) and you will really start to get this process quicker.
2. Where are the electrons going? How are they getting there? What is carrying them there? Electrons carry most of the power that will eventually make the ATP in the end.

This is the final step in cellular respiration, also known as aerobic respiration. Electrons have been carried by compounds such as NAD+, FADH, and NADP. Now they are used to set off a chemical reaction that takes advantage many membrane proteins of the mitochondria to make ATP. The final membrane protein, an enzyme, is called ATP synthase or sometimes just synthase.
The cells of almost all eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi, algae, protozoa -- in other words, the living things except bacteria, archaea, and a few protists) contain intracellular organelles called mitochondria, which produce ATP. Energy sources such as glucose are initially metabolized in the cytoplasm. The products are imported into mitochondria. Mitochondria continue the process of catabolism using metabolic pathways including the Krebs cycle, fatty acid oxidation, and amino acid oxidation.
The end result of these pathways is the production of two kinds of energy-rich electron donors, NADH and FADH2. Electrons from these donors are passed through an electron transport chain to oxygen, which is reduced to water. This is a multi-step redox process that occurs on the mitochondrial inner membrane. The enzymes that catalyze these reactions have the remarkable ability to simultaneously create a proton gradient across the membrane, producing a thermodynamically unlikely high-energy state with the potential to do work. Although electron transport occurs with great efficiency, a small percentage of electrons are prematurely leaked to oxygen, resulting in the formation of the toxic free-radical superoxide.

Comment and tell us what you think! AP bio rap video.
Lyrics: 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)
