The Photosynthesis Song!!

Mr. Durand singing the photosynthesis song!

Here are the lyrics a bunch of you guys requested:


I need a little light
So I can store energy
I need a little light
So I can make ATP
I need a little light
Im gonna make some food
Its outta sight
And I need a little light

Been sittin here in this chloroplast, feeling green the whole day through
Yeah, Im a little thylakoid, waitin for something to do
Im gonna move some electrons through a chain
Thats gonna pump some hydrogen in
But its been dark all night and you can see the state Im in

CHORUS

When the electrons leave the chain theyre gonna join NADP (plus)
And that high conconcentration of hydrogens gonna want outside of me
Gonna go through a special protein thats gonna kick some ATP out
Thats what movin these electrons is really all about

CHORUS

The ATP and NADPH are gonna make a cycle go round
At the end of the calvin cycle glucose can be found
You gotta put in 6 pieces of CO2 to make that precious food
And use up the products of the thylakoid, darn this systems good

CHORUS

The chlorophyl that lost the electrons is gonna have to get some more
So an enzymes gonna break apart water (using 6 no less no more)
Its gonna produce 6 molecules of fresh O2, though the plant just thinks its waste
Its amazing to think that this photosynthesis is happening all over the place

The world needs more teachers like this man! I hope these students realize how lucky they are to have such a fun and engaging teacher!

7 people are the ATP that just got kicked out through the special protein...

I LOVE this!! My biology teacher sang/played it on guitar for us in class today. He gave us the lyrics and stuff, too, so I hope it helps my ace my photosynthesis test tomorrow! xD Awesome work!
