“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

Within plant cells there are some organelles; including chloroplasts

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

You can’t mistake plant Biology!

CDC Utmost VB is one of the highest yielding CWRS varieties with the added benefit of wheat midge tolerance. CDC Utmost VB brings a package that includes strong straw and great colour retention to ensure highest yields and best possible grade. If wheat midge is a potential problem, CDC Utmost VB is the best product available.

300 KM EAST OF PERTH NEAR MERREDIN LIES A 4000 HECTAR FARM PRODUCING WHEAT AND SHEEP. THE FARMER EXPLAINS SOME OF THE CHALLENGES OF FARMING; DROUGHT, FROST, HEAT, AND LOW WHEAT PRICES.

WIKIPEDIA
The Wheatbelt region is one of the nine regions of Western Australia. It partially surrounds the Perth metropolitan area, extending north from Perth to the Mid West region, and east to the Goldfields-Esperance region. It is bordered to the south by the South West and Great Southern regions, and to the west by the Indian Ocean, the Perth metropolitan area, and the Peel region. Altogether, it has an area of 154,862 square kilometres (59,793 sq mi) (including islands), and a population of about 72,000 people. The population is widely distributed, with only about 16,000 people living in the main towns of Northam, Narrogin, Merredin and Moora.

The Wheatbelt encompasses a range of environments and industries. Near the coast, it receives relatively high rainfall and mild temperature, and its 150 kilometres (93 mi) of coastline is a significant tourist area. In contrast, the eastern fringe is very arid, and is mainly used for mining of minerals including gold, nickel and iron ore. The remainder to the region is highly suited to agriculture, and is the source of nearly two thirds of the state’s wheat production, half of its wool production, and the majority of its Lamb and mutton, oranges, honey, cut flowers and a range of other agricultural and pastoral products.
