Glyoxylate Cycle

[Verse] Metabolism groove, lettin' carbs ignite Acetyl-CoA in the midst of the night Two carbons dance, mitochondria ignite Fat to glucose, we gotta keep it tight [Verse 2] Fatty acids broken, energy flowin' fast Step into the cycle, gotta make it last Isocitrate split, no CO2 to cast Malate and succinate, chem magic blast [Chorus] Glyoxylate cycle, metabolic maze Fats turnin' carbs, join the crazy phase Plants and microbes, survivin' in craze Glyoxylate cycle, breakin' biochem daze [Verse 3] Enzymes on deck, we got malate synthase Oxaloacetate up in the chase Recycle them carbons, this ain't no rat race Glyoxylate power, keepin' up the pace [Verse 4] Leaves and seeds, they be flexin' the skill Survival mode on, fatties burnin’ till Carb source ready, no need for refill Dogged biochemistry, goin' for the thrill [Chorus] Glyoxylate cycle, metabolic maze Fats turnin' carbs, join the crazy phase Plants and microbes, survivin' in craze Glyoxylate cycle, breakin' biochem daze
