ATP
(to the tune of "Yesterday")
words by Frank Virzi
ATP
active transport needs you, can't you see?.
sodium pumps require energy
to go against the gradient..
Cilia
and flagella depend on you,.
not to mention pinocytocis to
internalize small molecules.
Sometimes when water needs to be pumped
out of a cell,
that's when contractile vacuoles make it seem more iso-
to-o-o-nic
ATP
the triphosphate of adenosine;
ribose has five carbons in between
three phosphates and an adenine.
Glucose finds its way through the carrier molecules;
those are proteins which are embedded in the
cell membrane.
Suddenly
turgor pressure builds up in a leaf
when the water rushes in-to
the hypertonic plant cells,
without the help of
ATP
