About this app

An interactive high school biology learning app that visualizes the ATP budget across photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Explore how light intensity and COβ‚‚ affect glucose production, step through glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and the electron transport chain, and compare ATP production with and without oxygen. Mission-based controls let learners test key concepts by changing conditions and observing the results.

Use cases

  • High school biology students studying photosynthesis and cellular respiration
  • Teachers demonstrating limiting factors and ATP production in class
  • Learners reviewing aerobic and anaerobic respiration
  • Science activities comparing oxygen conditions and glucose amounts

Features

  • Adjustable light intensity and COβ‚‚ concentration for photosynthesis
  • Visual comparison of light reactions and dark reactions
  • Step-by-step progression through glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and the electron transport chain
  • ATP totals shown at different respiration stages
  • Oxygen and glucose controls for comparing aerobic and anaerobic ATP yields
  • Interactive missions with reset and next controls
