IC Cellular Respiration

Why just read about a case study when you can experience one? Cogent Education’s Interactive Cases provide engaging real world scenarios allowing you to explore a variety of science-based careers and dive into the "molecular" world to solve a real world problem. Each Interactive Case concentrates on one of the most challenging concepts in Biology.

In our Interactive Case on Cellular Respiration, a CIA agent has been poisoned, but is still alive and has been rescued by Navy Seals. As a Medical Toxicologist, students must determine the identity of the poison that has affected the agent’s cells.


Our award-winning Interactive Cases: • present key science concepts in the context of engaging real-world scenarios • allow you to use critical thinking to practice problem-solving skills • enable you to interact with virtual molecular and cellular worlds • align to Next Generation Science Standards and AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner. • are research-based and proven to improve learning and problem-solving skills (3-year independent study with 2,300 students) • provide a real-time formative assessment tool that enables teachers to differentiate and personalize their instruction • are funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health • can be completed in approximately 45-90 minutes. • allow users anytime, anywhere access, which offers additional time to develop and hone problem-solving skills

You’ll never view science the same way again!
