Cell Membranes

A Dr. Production

Cell Membranes = Semi permeable

Cell Membranes = Fluid Mosaic Model

Cell Membranes = Phospholipid Bilayer

Cell Membranes = Selectively permeable

Cell Membranes = proteins & lipids

Cell Membranes = Double Layer

Ooh, ooh

You might not ever see it well

But let me tell ya

It’s found in all your cells

Without it cells would surely leak

It’s how they excrete their wastes

and also how they eat

Talking ‘bout membranes

Talking ‘bout cell membranes now

Come on and sing it with me

(membranes)

Sing it with the feelin' ya'll

(cell membranes now)

Some of the work sure ain’t easy

Active transport requires

Energy from ATP

But without energy is okay

if molecules are small

Diffusion and osmosis make a way

Talking ‘bout membranes

Talking ‘bout cell membranes now

Come on and sing it with me

(membranes)

Sing it with the feelin' ya'll

(cell membranes now)

In and out

Well, those solutes never seem to stop coming

In and out

Keep those lipids and proteins humming

In and out

semi-permeable membrane

In and out

those phospholipids never complain

Hey,

Get your nutrients today

And get rid of wastes this way

Move things through your cells this way

ATP,

it will pay

Talking ‘bout membranes

Talking ‘bout cell membranes now

Come on and sing it with me

(membranes)

Sing it with the feelin' ya'll

(cell membranes now)

Talking ‘bout membranes

Talking ‘bout cell membranes now

Come on and sing it with me

(membranes)

Sing it with the feelin' ya'll

(cell membranes now)
