Metabolism Webquest

Introduction

Hello Mighty Metabolism Experts! 

We are going to navigate cellular respiration today and learn what our bodies need to provide us energy! 

Let's go and explore metabolism on the cellular level!

Evaluation

For your evaluation of Cellular Respiration, please create: Make a copy of this Google Drawing.

Then use it to create a model of cellular respiration.

Go back to your notes if needed! Share your copy with your teacher.
