In this video, Mr. W sings about the the three phases of glycolysis: investment, cleavage, and energy harvest.
LYRICS:
Glycolysis is a series of reactions,
Enzymatic actions, energy transactions,
Takes glucose, a molecule so sugary,
Breaks it down for NADH and ATP
It's an anaerobic cytoplasmic pathway that amazes
Organized easily into three phases,
Investment, cleavage, and energy harvest,
Tell me later which one you like best.
Investment: activation energy's supplied,
Cleavage: our six carbon sugar divides
Harvest: we get our energy yield,
So beautiful, so intricate keep your eyes peeled
CHORUS
Glycolysis!
Come on sugar, come on sugar, for the breakdown. For the breakdown.
