To engage students with the concept of cellular respiration by connecting it to real-life scenarios and experiences.
Scenario:
Imagine you are a team of scientists exploring a brand-new planet, Energia, which is unlike anything you've encountered before. On this planet, the inhabitants—known as Energians—have evolved in a way that their very survival depends on a unique process similar to cellular respiration. However, there's a twist! The Energians can only thrive if they can convert energy from their surrounding environment effectively.
