Like the music itself, Bubble Gum Hits (Universal Music Enterprises) is short and sweet, as it features only 10 songs and punches in at under 30 minutes in length. ![]() (Answers may be found on the answers page.There’s definitely no lack of compilation albums promoting gooey goodies from the late 1960s and early 1970s, but this particular collection, which I picked up at the Dollar Store, is what I’ve been spinning the refried beans out of the past few days.

(2) This song covers a lot of things related to glucose. Stick some faces in this candied up clip from, 'Sugar Sugar' by the Archies. The latter activity could begin with students identifying the most important or most challenging content of the song, and deciding how to illustrate that particular content. A more extensive interaction with the song might entail (A) learning to sing it, using an audio file and/or sheet music as a guide, and/or (B) illustrating it with pictures, bodily poses, and/or bodily movements.

I just can't believe the way my muscles take you in. (This line is an allusion to the now-discredited hypothesis that lactic acid causes muscle soreness.) This song probes the nature of this relationship and includes a cameo appearance by the lactate molecule itself, which sings the line, "I'm gonna make your muscles ache," shown in italics. Thus, many athletes have what might be termed a "love-hate relationship" with glucose: they need it to fuel their muscles during exercise, yet burning it at high rates can get them into trouble. In addition, a lack of glycogen (the storage form of glucose) is also thought to cause fatigue under some circumstances. A buildup of lactic acid due to "excessive" glucose breakdown is thought by some to impair exercise performance. ![]() If pyruvate is being formed faster than it is being utilized, three-carbon molecules accumulate in the form of lactic acid (lactate). The pyruvate can then be further processed by the mitochondria to produce carbon dioxide and water. Through a series of reactions known collectively as glycolysis, glucose is converted to a three-carbon molecule knownĪs pyruvate. Glucose is vital to theįunctioning of many of the body's cells, including muscle cells, because it yields energy in the form of ATP when it is broken down. Glucose is a six-carbon sugar represented by the formula C 6H 12O 6. This parody (written by Greg Crowther) is sung to the tune of ![]()
