No Escaping Cellular Respiration

start.

cELLULAR rESPIRATION Escape Room

You are on a quest to solve the mystery of enegy production in cells. Things to keep in mind:

  • All living things need energy.
  • Energy is transferred throughout ecosystems.
  • Photosynthesis makes Oxygen and Organic Molecules from Carbon Dioxide and Water.
  • Cellular Respiration makes Energy (ATP) and Carbon Dioxide from Oxygen and Organic Molecules.

Welcome to the Escape Room

map/missions

Navigate through 4 Missions to review the process of cellular respiration. Each mission reviews stages of respiration the key reactants and products. Make sure you have a notebook handy to write down the clues. If you collect all the clues, you will get the combination that opens the briefcase with your reward, good luck! To Start, Click on Mission 01

Mission 01Glycolysis

CELLULAR RESPIRATION REVIEW

Watch & Review to Answer the Question

Stages of Respiration1.Break down glucose into pyruvate 2. Break down pyruvate into energy intermediates 3. Oxidative phosphorylation coupled with electron transport chain produces ATP

What is the first step in cellular respiration?

A Glycolysis

B ATP Synthesis

C Krebs Cycle

Redox during Glycolysis

What are Redox Reactions?

  • Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants
  • A substance loses electrons is oxidized​
  • A substance gains electrons is reduced

During the redox reaction in Glycolysis, what substance is reduced?(enter this on the next screen)

Form the code

Drag the letters in this space from the answer to the previous question. Write down the numbers that go with each letter in order to get your secret code to access the next mission.

Congratulations!you have successfully completed mission 1 on REdox reactions in glycolysis. don't lose the code you've just discovered! Click on Mission 2 to move forward

Mission 02Pyruvate

Password?

Knock on the door, enter the secret code and you will get the first number you need to open the final briefcase.

Answer the question

What happens to Puryvate?

  • Pyruvate is Oxidized to Acetyl CoA.
  • This step links Glycolysis to the Kerbs Cycle.
  • Enzymes catalyzes three reactions
  • Acetyl CoA has a high potential energy to transfer the acetyl group in the citric acid cycle

Which of the following occurs during pyruvate oxidation?

B CO2 is released

A Glucose is synthesized

C Oxygen is used and ATP is made

Read the conversations carefully to obtain information that will help you answer the questions in mission 3 correctly.

Krebs Cycle Story

Read closely

Inside a busy cell, acetyl-CoA entered the mitochondria, ready for the Krebs cycle. It merged with oxaloacetate, creating citrate. As the cycle turned, two carbons were released as CO2, and energy was captured in the form of NADH, FADH2, and GTP(ATP). These energy carriers raced to the electron transport chain, fueling the cell’s activities. With each spin, the cycle refreshed oxaloacetate, ensuring the cell’s constant supply of energy to power its vital functions.

Pay close attentionto the information to get the answers to the questions in the next mission.

What happens without oxygen?

  • Without O2, the electron transport chain stops​
  • Anaerobic respiration or Fermentation uses an electron transport chain with a final electron acceptor other than O2
  • Fermentation uses substrate-level phosphorylation instead of an electron transport chain to generate ATP​

What happens without oxygen?
