    Glenn Wolkenfeld - The Cell Song

    Uploaded by

    Giacomo Umburulu
    The poem describes a journey through the different parts of a cell. It explores the various organelles like the mitochondria, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, ribosomes, lysosomes, centrioles, chloroplasts, and vacuoles. Each stanza focuses on a different organelle and what function it serves in the cell, such as the mitochondria being the "energy factory" or chloroplasts producing food from sunlight in plant cells. The poem emphasizes that there are trillions of cells in the human body and singing this song can help remember cell structures and functions like how active transport differs from diffusion.

    The Cell Song

    La Canzone della Cellula

    I went into a cell, to get out of the rain,


    And there was the gatekeeper, the cell membrane.
    I went into a cell, and what did I see?
    The mitochondria, it's the energy factory
    I went into a cell, and said "Who drives this bus?"
    And found myself talking to the boss, the nucleus
    I went into a cell, to recover from a spasm,
    And found myself swimming in some clear cytoplasm
    I went into a nucleus to ask how to get home,
    And got genetic info, stored in a chromosome
    I went into a cell, and stretching o' so far,
    Was a thin and wavy network, it's called the E.R.
    I went into a cell, trying not to be perplexed,
    By the packaging and sorting in the Golgi complex
    I went into a cell, and said "Who makes proteins here?"
    And somebody responded "It's the ribosome, my dear"
    I went into a cell, and was feeling pretty fine,
    Til a lysosome engulfed me, and dissolved me in enzymes
    I went into a cell, and was feeling pretty nimble,
    Til a centriole lassoed me, tying me up in a spindle
    I went into a plant cell to see how trees get so tall,
    And all around the outside was a rigid cell wall
    I went into a plant cell, "Why's it so green?" I asked,
    "'Cause I make food from sunlight", said a green chloroplast
    I went into a plant cell to see how plant cells store food,
    When a vacuole informed me that he was the storage dude
    So when you go inside a cell, remember what you see,
    There's over a trillion cells in both you and me
    Just sing this song if you ever feel confusion,
    And remember active transport is the opposite of diffusion

    Sono andato in una cellula, per ripararmi dalla pioggia,


    E c'era il guardiano di frontiera, la membrana cellulare.
    Sono andato in una cellula, e che cosa ho visto?
    I mitocondri, sono la fabbrica di energia
    Sono andato in una cellula, e ho detto "Chi guida questo bus?"
    E mi sono ritrovato a parlare con il capo, il nucleo
    Sono andato in una cellula, per guarire da uno spasmo,
    E mi sono ritrovato a nuotare in qualche limpido citoplasma
    Sono andato in un nucleo per chiedere come tornare a casa,
    E ho preso informazioni genetiche, immagazzinate in un
    cromosoma
    Sono andato in una cellula, e ad estendersi finora,
    Era un reticolo sottile e ondeggiante, si chiama R.E.
    Sono andato in una cellula, cercando di non essere perplesso,
    Dallimpacchettamento e dallo smistamento nellapparato di
    Golgi
    Sono andato in una cellula, e ho detto "Chi fabbrica le proteine
    qui?"
    E qualcuno ha risposto " il ribosoma, mio caro"
    Sono andato in una cellula, e mi sentivo piuttosto bene,
    Finch un lisosoma mi inghiott, e mi dissolse in enzimi
    Sono andato in una cellula, e mi sentivo piuttosto sciolto,
    Finch un centriolo mi cattur al laccio, legandomi in un
    mandrino
    Sono andato in una cellula vegetale per vedere come gli alberi
    diventano cos alti,
    E tuttintorno allesterno cera una rigida parete cellulare
    Sono andato in una cellula vegetale: "Perch cos verde?" ho
    chiesto,
    "Perch io produco nutrimento dalla luce del sole", disse un
    cloroplasto verde
    Sono andato in una cellula vegetale per vedere come le cellule
    delle piante immagazzinano cibo,
    Quando un vacuolo mi ha informato che era laddetto allo
    stoccaggio
    Quindi quando vai all'interno di una cellula, ricorda ci che
    vedi,
    C' pi di un trilione di cellule sia in te che in me
    Canta solo questa canzone, se mai senti confusione,
    E ricorda che il trasporto attivo l'inverso della diffusione
