| Description | This activity was developed for an introductory biology course for science majors. The activity is intended to reinforce the basic concepts of cellular respiration (including the electron transport chain and generation of the proton motive force) and to link O2 transport explicitly to cellular respiration. Students are initially engaged by considering the cases of firefighters exposed to smoke that could contain carbon monoxide (CO) or hydrogen cyanide (HCN). | |
