(To the tune of “Yellow Submarine”) / Recording by Tim Karplus
In the cells, inside of us, there’s a sugar on adenine
Which is linked, to phosphate groups, and you know it as ATP
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
And the cellular decree, calls for storing up the energy
So we save, it chemically, building acids onto ACP
Making fat stores a lot of energy, creates NADP, and uses ATP
Making fat stores a lot of energy, creates NADP, and uses ATP
When we need, some energy, we burn fats in fancy cell machines
Acids all, get shuttled in, on the backs of little carnitines
We break acids every hour today, in mitochnodri-ay, to acetyl-CoA
We break acids every hour today, in mitochnodri-ay, to acetyl-CoA
One more thing, about this tune, should be remembered by, all of you
Burning fat, converts a few, FADs to FADH2s
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
