Cells Part Two: Energy Processes
Verse 1: 8 lines - Introduction
Hey have you heard, we’re back with part two
Cells made of organelles have work to do
The building blocks of life, our structure and our function
Need some energy, or they could malfunction
Photosynthesis makes sugars from the sun
Converting energy, now the food chain has begun
Cellular respiration breaks down this food
To give your cells energy so life is good
Chorus:
The circle of life
Starts with photosynthesis
Absorbing sunlight
The ‘plast is where the action is
Plant cells makin’ sugars- hard at work
But the next process happens all over earth
Releasing energy
Cellular respiration
glucose to ATP
Energy for all creation
mitochondria in every kinda cell
No respiration, no organism dwells
Photo and CR, this is what we are
Energy makers, absorbers and takers
From the mitochondria and chloroplast too
The processes are part of cells part two, part two, cells part two
Verse 2: Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is an autotroph production
Heterotrophs get energy from indirect consumption (Emma H)
Living things need the sun to survive- (Peyton S)
Get ready for the photosynthetic ride.
The sun hits the chloroplasts, remember them?
Stuffed with chlorophyll- now let’s talk about the chem. (Alex M)
We owe it all to the mean green pigment,
Absorbing all the sunlight that’s daily being sent (Zach L)
Carbon dioxide and H-2-0
Mix with light energy to make a crazy combo! (Alex M)
Water in the cytoplasm chills for a few-
Then hydrogen and oxygen split into two (Rheagan)
The atoms recombine to make C-6-H-12-O-6
A sugar called glucose, you simply gotta know this
The result is important to you and to me
Oxygen released from the plants and the trees (Wyatt K)
Verse 2: Cellular Respiration
Mic check mic check- cellular respiration
Bringin’ it back with thrill and education (Rheagan B)
CR is something all living things do
Without mitochondria, life on earth would go askew (Jaclyn K)
Photosynthesis’ products take the stage now
Powerhouses of the cell gotta break things down
Food gives us glucose, inhaling brings O2-
Cellular respiration makes something cells can use (Wyatt K)
Glucose in the cytoplasm breaks apart,
Into smaller molecules; it’s a work of art! (Jake G)
Then it knocks on mitochondria’s door,
Takes a step inside, where it’s broken down more (Ashlyn T)
This releases water, CO2 and a burst of heat
Formed into energy all cells need.
Who’s down with ATP?
All the cell’s homies! (Peyton)
Break Down:
Photosynthesis-cellular respiration
Opposite reactions- opposite equations
6 C-O-2 plus 6-H-2-O, a little light energy converts to glucose
C-6-H-12-0-6, what else? 6-O-2, now the opposites react
Start with glucose and oxygen this time, C-6-H-12-O-6 and 6-O-2 combine
To make heat energy, in the form of ATP, H-2-O and C-O-2, now the processes are through

"Cells, Cells"
Today's the day were gonna learn about the cell
If I teach it okay, you'll know it very well
So listen up 6th graders-
-no room left for haters-
lets talk about the building blocks of life- cells that make us.
Chorus:
Cells, cells they're made of organelles
Try to pull a fast one, the cytoplasm gels
The nucleus takes over controllin' everything
The party don't stop 'till the membrane blocks the scene
Inside the vacuole we can float around for hours
Running round with chloroplasts, lovin' sunlight showers
Cells, cells, they're made of organelles
First things first, there's two different types-
animal and plant cells that make up all life.
The little things that make up microscopic cells,
The main structures- yeah, we call them organelles.
Now let's break it down and get some information-
How do cells work? It's a crazy combination!
-Chorus-
The cell membrane is the border patrol,
Who can cross over? The membrane lets 'em know
The gooey stuff inside, is called the cytoplasm
It holds the organelles- don't worry, plasm-has 'em!
In the middle of the cell you'll find the big brain,
The nucleus surrounded by nuclear membrane
Don't forget the vacuole filled up with water
It's a basic need for life when this rap keeps getting hotter!
-Chorus-
The mitchondria's something every cell needs,
Breaking down the food and releasin' energy.
There's a place inside the cell where chemicals are stored, the squiggly golgi bodies, releasin' even more.
Yo hangin' in the cell is endoplasmic reticulum, synthesizin' enzymes for respiration, and um...
If you still think that this rap is whack, remember ribosomes making proteins gettin' jacked!
-Chorus-
Lookin at the plant cell, weird and green
two more parts is all it takes you see?
Cell wall knows what's up when it comes to keepin' structure
Strong with cellulose, this cell can't get much tougher.
C-H- L-O- R-O -- Plast,
These little green machines are havin' a blast
Photosythenisizing- filled with chlorophyll
-they hit the cell club, runnin' up a high bill-
-Chorus-
