Cellular Respiration — Turning Food Into Fuel

[Verse]

Every bite of food you eat gets broken down to glucose sugar,

But sugar sitting still don't power a single muscle or finger,

Gotta unlock the energy, that's what respiration's for,

Cellular respiration, glucose plus oxygen walks through the door,

Happens in the mitochondria, the powerhouse we already found,

Breaking bonds inside the sugar, releasing energy stored around,

The equation reads it simple: glucose and oxygen combine and react,
