Скачать или смотреть ATP Hustle (The Cellular Respiration Rap) | AP Biology Song on Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle & ETC

🔥 ATP Hustle (The Cellular Respiration Rap) 🔥
Dive into the powerhouse of the cell!
This original AP Biology rap breaks down aerobic cellular respiration from glycolysis to the Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle, Electron Transport Chain, and chemiosmosis.

🎧 Learn and remember how cells make energy!

From glucose to ATP, this song covers:
Glycolysis in the cytoplasm (2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate)
Link reaction & Krebs Cycle in the mitochondrial matrix
Electron Transport Chain & oxidative phosphorylation
Role of NADH, FADH₂, oxygen, and ATP synthase
Why ATP is the “energy currency” of the cell

Perfect for:
AP Biology students studying Cellular Energetics
High school or college intro biology
Teachers who love science + music mashups

🎓 Study smarter, not harder - rap your way to a 5 on the AP Exam!

🎶 Lyrics:

Yo, class is in session!
We’re breakin’ down the cell’s obsession
How to turn that glucose meal
Into ATP power for the real deal!

Start in the cytoplasm, step one in line,
Six-carbon glucose
break it down, refine.
Invest two ATP to get it started,
Then four come back, now energy’s charted.
Two NAD⁺ get reduced, that’s the clue,
They grab electrons - become NADH too.
Endin’ up with two pyruvate, small but sweet,
Each holds energy the mitochondria’ll eat.

(Total from glycolysis)
2 ATP net, 2 NADH,
No oxygen yet, but still progress!

We’re on that ATP hustle every day and night,
Fuel for your muscles, brain, and life.
From glucose to H₂O, CO₂ released,
This is how cells feast - energy unleashed!

Yo, pyruvate travels to the mitochondria zone,
CO₂ leaves - that carbon’s gone.
Coenzyme A joins in, forms acetyl-CoA,
Now the Krebs Cycle spins in the matrix all day.

Acetyl joins oxaloacetate, citrate born,
Carbon’s broken, electrons torn.
NAD⁺ → NADH, grab three times,
FAD → FADH₂, twice in the rhymes.
ATP (or GTP) made in one quick shot,
Per turn of the cycle, yeah, that’s what you got.

(Each glucose gives you two rounds to play!)
So double those numbers when you calculate.

We’re on that ATP hustle every day and night,
Fuel for your muscles, brain, and life.
From glucose to H₂O, CO₂ released,
This is how cells feast - energy unleashed!

Now we’re hittin’ that inner membrane,
Where the ETC runs its high-voltage game.
NADH drops electrons off at Complex I,
Protons pumped out - yeah, that’s begun!
FADH₂ joins in at Complex II,
More H⁺ ions cross - gradient grew!
Electrons move through Complex III and IV,
Till oxygen grabs ’em, forms H₂O - score!

That proton gradient’s the key event,
Potential energy that’s heaven-sent.
They flow through ATP synthase, spin that wheel,
Chemiosmosis makes the deal
About 34 ATP in one go,
That’s oxidative phosphorylation, yo!

ATP’s the cash in the cell’s economy,
Powers all work - mechanical, chemical, physiology.
Break one phosphate, energy’s freed,
To drive every process the cell might need.
Active transport, muscle contract, DNA built
Without ATP, the system’d wilt.
Recharge ADP - add phosphate again,
‘Cause energy cycles, it don’t ever end.

We’re on that ATP hustle every day and night,
Fuel for your muscles, brain, and life.
From glucose to H₂O, CO₂ released,
This is how cells feast - energy unleashed!

Glycolysis in cytoplasm, start the show,
Krebs in the matrix, spin and go.
ETC and chemiosmosis next in line,
That’s aerobic respiration, designed so fine.
From one glucose, 36 - 38 ATP,
Cell power, life energy - biology’s key!
