Virtual Frog Builder Game

This game tests your knowledge of the 3D spatial relationships between the organs in the frog. The game starts with an image of the nerves in the frog. The object is to build up the rest of the organs in the frog by selecting each organ and clicking on its correct position in the image. Don't try this until you have used the dissection kit awhile and gotten a good idea of where the organs are. Building a frog can be harder than it looks.

Animals: Butterflies and Monarch Migration

View images and see the distribution of various butterfly species. Learn about wildlife migration and why it occurs. Cellular Respiration. Cellular Respiration and Fermentation 2D says, “We Monarchs need lots of energy to live our lives.

Cellular Respiration

As adult butterflies, we siphon nectar from flowers. That is high in sugar, which our mitochondria ‘burn for fuel,’ via the process of cellular respiration, so our bodies can use the energy for other things, including flying all the way to Mexico to spend the winter. While we are ‘cold-blooded,’ you might actually see us using cellular respiration to warm up before we begin to fly.

To you humans, that might look like we’re ‘shivering,’ but by rapidly twitching our flight muscles, thereby stimulating the mitochondria to do cellular respiration, we’re able to warm up those muscles to prepare for flight.”
