Mitochondria

Science is not all about the books. It can be cool, fun-filled, and creative new ideas. Explore the world of Science and the MiToChOnDrIa! www.ChloroFilms.org Lyrics: Verse 1 Organelle, 2 membranes / Outer, inner they contain Phospholipid bilayers and the other are proteins They can be round but usually they rod-shaped Can you guess whats it name?... Mitochondria, yeah! Organized into 5 distinct compartments Outer, inner membranes, to the intermembrane space Then we have some cristae, dont forget the matrix Thats its structure, thats its frame Now listen to me when I say Chorus Mitochondria Its the source of the cells power Via oxidative phosphorylation Its the Mitochondria Verse 2 Outer membrane covers the entire outer organelle Inner membrane is highly impermeable Folding of the inner membrane, known as cristae Expands its surface area to generate more ATP Each 1 to 10 micrometers in size Contains a high concentrated mixture of enzymes The matrix makes up the inner remaining space Containing ribosomes, tRNA, and DNA Bridge Power house, like nothing else In a cell, number 1 organelle Cellular energy in the form of ATP The cell relies on its supply Along with life You need some energy now You need some energy now Verse 3 Mitochondria, origin endosymbiotic prokaryotes Ancestor from the group known as Proteobacteria Convert organic materials into energy Everything we need in the form of ATP When the energy needs of a cell are high Mitochondria grow and they divide When the energy needs of a cell are low Theyre destroyed, inactive, become idle Thats the Mitochondria, thats the gist of what it does Thats the lesson, thats the song, thats the end, now get your groove on!
