Tune: "Jingle Bells"
Listen to: "Jingle Bells"
Living cells, living cells. All are much the same.
Oh, what are the organelles within their cell membranes?
Nucleus, chromosome mitochodrion.
Ribosome, and vacuole, Endoe reticulum.
Inside the nucleus, there's lots of DNA
Which makes up chromosomes, that make us look this way
The tiny ribosomes, like Santa's little elves
Turn aminos into pro-teins to make up healthy cells.
The Endopla-as-mic Retic-you-oo-oo-lum
Will transport substances through cytopla-as-um
Mitochondria, like tiny power plants
Turn glucose into energy that makes us sing and dance.
OHHHH!!!!
Living cells, living cells. All are much the same.
Oh, what are the organelles within their cell membranes?
Nucleus, chromosome mitochodrion.
Ribosome, and vacuole, Endoe reticulum.
Plant cells have cell walls to make their structure right
Inside their chloroplasts make food from the sun's light
Transparent vacuoles, like little storage shelves
Store water, food, and waste products not needed by the cells
All the organelles, work like a fac-toe-ree
To grow and reproduce or store up energy
If it wasn't for our cells, we wouldn't be alive
All living things are made of cells, that isn't any jive
OHHHH!!!!
Living cells, living cells. All are much the same.
Oh, what are the organelles within their cell membranes?
Nucleus, chromosome mitochodrion.
Ribosome, and vacuole, Endoe reticulum.
