About This Simulation
Observe how we can monitor and better understand respiration by a method known as Respirometry. Learn the effects of exercise of respiration by observing glucose levels and oxygen consumption through a model organism: a mouse.
Learning Objectives
- Contextualise respirometry within metabolic process investigation
- Describe the steps of an example respirometric experiment
- Relate respiration to blood glucose levels and oxygen consumption
About This Simulation
Lab Techniques
- Respirometry
Related Standards
- HS-LS1-7
- Biology Unit 3: Cellular energetics
- Biology 8.2 Cell respiration, D.6 Transport of respiratory gases
Learn More About This Simulation
This short, targeted simulation is adapted from the full-length “Cellular Respiration” simulation.
What in the cellular respiration is Respirometry?! In this simulation, you will learn all about respirometry and the techniques used to obtain rates of metabolism. You have been employed by the council to help the community basketball team learn about the science behind cellular respiration and metabolism. By performing the experiment on a virtual mouse, you will be able to collect all the data you need.
Respirometry
Discover the inner workings of respirometry and pick up some neat lab techniques! By injecting a mouse with a microchip, you will be able to analyze the oxygen levels, blood glucose levels and lactic acid levels of the subject after exposing it to different environmental factors. Don’t worry about hurting the mouse though! One of the many perks of a virtual simulation is that you get all the experiences and data you need during this experiment without any animals being harmed in the process!
Review your Knowledge
Throughout the experiment will be prompted with some engaging quiz questions to reinforce your knowledge to further your learning of cellular respiration, as well as coming up with a hypothesis to put to the test! To accompany the quiz questions there are relevant theory pages and informative diagrams to aid your learning.
Help athletes perform
Now you are a pro in respirometry and metabolism you will be ready to pass on your knowledge to the basketball players, so they can improve their diet and training regime to remain energized throughout the game. With this new knowledge on their bodies metabolism, they will be unstoppable!

For Science Programs Providing a Learning Advantage
North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."
