- Instructor sings
- In the cells, inside of us, there's a sugar
on adenine
- Which is linked, to phosphate groups, and
you know it as ATP
-
- Everyone Sings:
- If we build up a lot of ATP, we've too much
energy, metabolically
- If we build up a lot of ATP, we've too much
energy, metabolically
-
-
- Instructor sings
- And the cellular decree, calls for storing
up the energy
- So we save, it chemically, building acids
onto ACP
-
- Everyone Sings:
- Making fat stores a lot of energy, creates
NADP, and uses ATP
- Making fat stores a lot of energy, creates
NADP, and uses ATP
-
-
- Instructor sings
- When we need, some energy, we burn fats in
fancy cell machines
- Acids all, get shuttled in, on the backs
of little carnitines
-
- Everyone Sings:
- We break acids every hour today, in mitochnodri-ay,
to acetyl-CoA
- We break acids every hour today, in mitochnodri-ay,
to acetyl-CoA
-
-
- Instructor sings
- One more thing, about this tune, should be
remembered by, all of you
- Burning fat, converts a few, FADs to FADH2s
-
- Everyone Sings:
- NADH is a product too, that you can surely
use, when NAD's reduced
- NADH is a product too, that you can surely
use, when NAD's reduced
