Short, simple animations to show mitochondrial electron transport, ATP synthase & ATP synthase mechanism
Here are some fantastic animated tutorials from McGraw Hill Education – how glycolysis works, how NAD+ works, how the Krebs cycle works, the ETC & ATP synthase & proton pump & ATP synthase.
Wiley have a number of Interactive Animations about Cell Respiration that take you through it step-by-step; just click on ‘Glycolysis’ or ‘Citric Acid Cycle’ or ‘Oxidative Phosphorylation’ in the link.
Another animated tutorial of the ETS is here.

B10 Energy Flow in Ecosystems
For self-assessment questions, with exercises and discussions, just click on the correct topic at Biology GCSE & IGCSE Question Bank. A powerpoint can be downloaded from the same site here. The s-cool revision site lets you revise the topic, summarizes the topic & tests you on it. Skoool gives you a lesson, including progress questions, for each Biology topic but you’ll need sound on for it. And both these sites – GCSE Bitesize & GCSE Bitesize – have revision pages (that take you through the topic), a test and an activity.
B10 Revision notes in downloadable word format and here are some key terms and definitions: Key Terms B10
