Cell Respiration Basketball Rap

Basketball rap about cell respiration to the song Cupid's Chokehold (Radio Mix) by Gym Class Heroes featuring Patrick Stump. Written and performed by Dawson and Cuyler.



Lyrics-
Chorus 1:
Cell Respiration, it gives me my energy.
Cell respiration, it produces ATP.

Verse 1:
You take glucose and you oxidize, but first phosphates have to phosphorilize,
With two molecules of ATP, splitting the 6-carbon into 3.
And then the molecules they re-arrange, and the two phosphates are exchanged,
And that's when four more ADP, come and turn into four more ATP.
And then two nad ions, reduce with two lonely electrons
And they make two nadh.
And then it's just two puruvate, which without oxygen will fermentate,
Into either lactate you recall? or alcohol and ethanol.

Chorus 2:
Cell Respiration, it gives me my energy.
Cell respiration, it produces ATP.
Cell Respiration, just take a look at me.
Cell Respiration, without it I'm RIP.

Verse 2:
Then the two pyruvates transport, and to the m and m are escort,
Ted by the co-enzymeA, and become an acetelCoA,
But first the acid's oxidized, and loses one carbon dioxide,
And then one nad ion, goes to nad and hydrogon.
They meet oxaloacetate, and then they become citrate,
Then they lose one molecule, of carbon as a CO two
Then the oxidation repeats, and another carbon secrets
But this time one ADP, turns into one more ATP

Then four carbons rearrange, and NAD FADH exchange,
For NADH FADH two and leaves oxaloacetate.

Chorus 3:
Cell Respiration, next comes the ETC.
Cell respiration, it makes lots more ATP.
Cell respiration, it needs lots of oxygen,
Cell respiration, for ATP production.

Verse 3:
Glycolysis and Krebs, make 4 ATP then,
Respiration goes to the ETC.

10 NADH are made, two FADH are laid, in the M and M,
Oh and then.

The electrons go right through, the cytochromes pump through,
The H then the e's make water.

But the H are soon replaced, move in ATP synthase,
And it spins.

And ADPs are soon phosphoralized, as the synthase pumps out ATPs surprise?

NAD's each give three, the FADH just two,
But all in all they make 38 brand new, ATP

Chorus 4:
Cell Respiration, it gives me my energy.
Cell respiration, it produces ATP.
Cell Respiration, just take a look at me.
Cell Respiration, without it I'm RIP.
