Abstract Bioconvection flows are very much related to engineering and real-life phenomena, for example, in the design of bio-cells, bio-conjugates and bio-microsystems, and become a hot topic in the current research. Therefore, the purpose of the present investigation is to explore theoretically the time-dependent electrically conducting flow with heat and mass transfer containing gyrotactic microorganism with activation energy toward an elongated surface with the effect of thermal radiation. Impact of velocity, thermal and concentration slips are also taken into account. The classical problem of Navier Stokes equations in the present model is reduced into ODEs by employing similarity approach. Numerical simulations are performed via boundary value problem solver based on finite difference numerical scheme using MATLAB. Impact of convergence parameters like motile microorganisms, concentration, temperature and velocity fields is elaborated through graphically and in the form of tables. The significant outcomes display that the density of motile microorganisms decreases with Peclet number and bioconvection Lewis number, while opposite behavior is noted for thermal buoyancy and buoyancy force ratio parameter on velocity profile.
