Description given on Youtube:
“Plant Biology” –
Here’s the final music video for our A2 Biology presentation.
We went through some hiccoughs actually producing it – video quality is TERRIBLE because the footage wasn’t transferred to disc in high enough quality and the audio is poor because the recording equipment died on us.
To the music of Girls Aloud – Biology, our very own version related to Plant Biology.
I think it worked out pretty well. Below are the complete lyrics, Enjoy!

Within plant cells there are some organelles; including chloroplasts
They have double membranes, stroma and thylakoids, which we learnt in class
Within plant cells there are some organelles; including chloroplasts
They have double membranes, stroma and thylakoids, which we learnt in class
A plant has an amazing power
To make food for itself
‘Cause in the palisade meso-
phyll cell, there are organelles.
The most important one’s the chloroplast
Which contains all that we need
Like the stacks of thylakoids
Which contain the chlorophyll
And so
They’re aligned in a stack
Called a granum and that
is why the plural is the grana
And this is the site
Of the reaction dependent on light
In this part of the process
Yet within the chloroplast,
there’s one more thing that’s last
where chemical reactions take place
There’s a mix of enzymes,
water and lipids at times
all contained in the stroma
Stroma (stroma)
[Repeat x4]
Water splits up, and oxygen goes away
This is photolysis
Oxygen does not want to stay
Baby, the other H+
They help on the way
They reduce NADP
to NADPH all day
You can’t mistake plant biology
Put in some light
Electrons excite
Water splits in a fight
The magic formula’s in front of me
ADP + Phosphate
Go on a date
ATP awaits
To go on the path of the LIR
And so in the end
The products make friends
Their journey extends
They’re heading to the stroma
Where they’ll be used
and they’ll be bruised
It’ll leave you confused
Within plant cells there are some organelles; including chloroplasts
They have double membranes, stroma and thylakoids, which we learnt in class
