Ode to Mitochondria

[Verse] Mitochondria The powerhouse You've heard it time and time But let me break it down Show you the science It might just blow your mind They're more than just simple energy generators Hold on tight These tiny organelles They bring cellular might [Chorus] Mitochondria (the Mitochondria) Don't you underestimate They control apoptosis They control your cell's fate They regulate metabolism Keeping things in check They even do calcium signaling What the heck? Mitochondria [Verse] The mitochondria They've got multi-tasking skills Respiration, metabolism And many more thrills They assist in heat production Keeping us warm and cozy They help with amino acid synthesis So no one can oppose-y [Chorus] Mitochondria (the Mitochondria) Don't you underestimate They control apoptosis They control your cell's fate They regulate metabolism Keeping things in check They even do calcium signaling What the heck? Mitochondria [Bridge] In every cell, they reside Powering life, far and wide Mitochondria, the unseen guide In the dance of biology, they preside [Chorus] Mitochondria (the Mitochondria) Don't you underestimate They control so much of your life They control your fate Mitochondria [Verse] Mitochondria The powerhouse You've heard it time and time But let me break it down Show you the science It might just blow your mind They're more than just simple energy generators Hold on tight These tiny organelles They bring cellular might [Chorus] Mitochondria (the Mitochondria) Don't you underestimate They control apoptosis They control your cell's fate They regulate metabolism Keeping things in check They even do calcium signaling What the heck?

Mitochondria (the Mitochondria) [Closing] Mitochondria The powerhouse of the cell Where life's energy dwells Mitochondria
