Cellular Respiration

This is a remake of the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Californication" It is intended to teach the process of Cellular Respiration
Lyrics:

It all starts in your stomach
With that awful, deep sensation
You fill your mouth with food
That comes from Photo-syn-thi-zation
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 Tri-Phosphate
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

thank you so much for making this! i passed my last biology exam with flyingcolors, and this really helped me out with respiration. I played it on my mp3 player the entire week before the exam, and what do you know, i rocked it! THANKS!!

[manwell13]

coulda used diagrams and or animations but other than that awesome video and song!!!

[jannita420]

You guys rock!!! that's so freakin genius!! THANKS!!

[dmhuua]

Still helpful. (and entertaining) Very well done, guys.

[CaressOfShadows]

Dude, This was awesome. I totally mastered Cellular Respiration and I am sure I shall never forget it again.
