About This Simulation
Help a basketball team learn about what happens in the second stage of cellular respiration, the Krebs cycle, to help them improve their longevity in the game!
Learning Objectives
- Explain the stages and reactions of the Krebs cycle
- State the products of the Krebs cycle
- Locate the Krebs cycle reactions within the cell

Learn More About This Simulation
This short, targeted simulation is adapted from the full-length “Cellular Respiration” simulation.
What happens to the two pyruvate molecules after glycolysis? In this simulation, you will further your understanding of cellular respiration by taking a closer look at mitochondria and the second stage of aerobic respiration: the Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle. The council has hired you to pass on your knowledge of metabolism to the basketball team to help them understand the science behind exercise and metabolism, so they can improve their training and maintain stamina during their game.
Evaluate The Krebs Cycle
Observe how the product of the first stage of glycolysis, the pyruvate molecule, is significant for the next step of aerobic respiration, the Krebs cycle. Getting up close and personal with a giant sized mitochondrion, understand the relation of the two processes by inserting the pyruvate molecule in the matrix. You will evaluate the stages of the Krebs cycle by completing each step through an engaging and interactive activity, exploring the different components and reactions that take place.
Review your Knowledge
Throughout the simulation engaging quiz questions will be asked to reinforce your knowledge of the Krebs cycle, to further your learning of aerobic respiration and metabolism. To accompany the quiz questions there are relevant theory pages and informative diagrams to aid your learning.
Pass on your knowledge
Having learned about the second stage of aerobic respiration you are able to pass on your knowledge to the basketball players, so they too can understand the science behind metabolism and exercise and improve their training.

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."

Labster can be integrated within a school's LMS (Learning Management System), and students can access it like any other assignment in their LMS. If your Institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log in to Labster's Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide the access method during the sales process.
Labster is only available for purchase by faculty and administration at academic institutions. To procure Labster, simply reach out to us on our website. Schedule a demo, book a meeting to discuss pricing, start a free trial, or simply fill out our contact form.
Labster simulations are created by real scientists and designed with unparalleled interactivity. Unlike point and click competitors, Labster simulations immerse students and encourage mastery through active learning.
Labster supports a wide range of courses at the high school and university level across fields in biology, chemistry and physics. Some simulations mimic lab procedures with high fidelity to train foundational skills, while others are meant to bring theory to life through interactive scenarios.
