Description

You are needed to help save the planet, Reactron, from the terrible genetically engineered Reactroids before they destroy Marie Curie Spaceport! You can only help Reactron with the assistance of your dragon. Like all living things, your dragon needs cellular respiration for energy. You'll need to make sure your dragon has all the essential components for this process to occur before heading to battle.

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Chemical Reactions in Cellular Respiration. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The reactants of cellular respiration are sugar and oxygen.

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and sugar.

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

The primary source of energy on Earth's surface is sunlight.

The material reactants in photosynthesis include water and carbon dioxide.

The function of photosynthesis is to make food for a plant to live and grow.

In photosynthesis, radiant energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy.

Energy from fossil fuels and biomass is released when they are burned.

During cellular respiration, stored energy is released for use by the living thing.

Chemical energy stored in fossil fuels and biomass is produced originally by photosynthesis.

Cellular respiration, combustion, and decomposition chemical reactions are similar.

Cellular respiration is an exothermic chemical reaction.

Cellular respiration affects Earth's atmosphere and oceans by removing oxygen and producing carbon dioxide.
