Electron Transport Chain Simulator
In this interactive Biology activity, you’ll connect concepts like cellular respiration, electron transport chain, ATP synthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis, and mitochondria.
Peek inside the cell’s “power line.” Change temperature, fuel carriers (like NADH/FADH2), and oxygen availability, then watch tiny parts move, a proton gradient build up, and ATP get made. You’ll see how changing one condition speeds up or slows down energy production.
Key Features:
– Simple controls for temperature, carrier supply, and oxygen
– Clear animations of electron flow and proton pumping
– Visual proton gradient that powers ATP synthase
– Live ATP counter so you can measure results
– A cause‑and‑effect setup that invites lots of “what‑ifs”
