"Cells, Cells"

Original Rap by Ms. Quitmeyer- Legal name now changed to: Emily Crapnell

Todays the day were gonna learn about the cell

If I teach it okay, youll 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 theyre made of organelles

Try to pull a fast one, the cytoplasm gels

The nucleus takes over controllin everything

The party dont 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, theyre made of organelles

First things first, theres 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 lets break it down and get some information-

How do cells work? Its 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- dont worry, plasm-has em!

In the middle of the cell youll find the big brain,

The nucleus surrounded by nuclear membrane

Dont forget the vacuole filled up with water

Its a basic need for life when this rap keeps getting hotter!

-Chorus-

The mitchondrias something every cell needs,

Breaking down the food and releasin energy.

Theres 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 whats up when it comes to keepin structure

Strong with cellulose, this cell cant 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-
