Cell Energy Trivia!
Trivia Rules• You must be in pairs (ONLY 2 people per
group… so don’t ask for a trio)• Each question will be displayed for only 30
seconds• You will have 1 minute for each question• You must write your answer on your answer
sheet• There will be 5 rounds of 10 questions. At
the end of each round points will be tallied and scores listed on the board.

TIE BREAKER
TIE BREAKERDescribe all of the individual
organelles needed to run the process of cellular respiration. Start with how the proteins necessary in the process are made (what protein is that?) and tell the whole story all the way to the electron transport chain. Include every organelle along the way!
