Game Play
Basics
In this game players explore various parts of the cell.
Outside the cell players gather nutrients and shoot down viruses.
Sections of the game
Approaching the cell – collect nutrients & block viruses
Cell membrane – block viruses & collect nutrients by moving a deflector from side to side.
Ribosomes – collect proteins without bumping into the ribosomes
Mitochondria – tap on them to generate energy
Endoplasmic Reticulum – another flying traveling part of the game
Golgi Apparatus – select where to deliver proteins, lipids, and waste
Lysosome
Nucleus
Nucleolus – activate it to generate ribosomes
Definitions
Eukaryotic cell – advanced and complex cells such as those found in plants and animals.
Organelles – specialized cell parts which have unique jobs to perform.
Cytoplasm – a fluid which fills cells and supports the various organelles in the cell.
Prokaryotic cells – simplified cells which lack most organelles & do not have a defined nucleus.
Cell membrane – the permeable membrane found around all animal cells. The membrane is designed to let nutrients enter while blocking away viruses.
Ribosome – the organelle which creates proteins for the cell.
Mitochondria – the powerhouse of the cell which generate the energy needed for the cell to perform its functions. They take nutrients and generate energy through a process called cellular respiration.
Endoplasmic Reticulum – a network of membranes inside a cell through which proteins and other molecules may move.
Rough ER – Endoplasmic Reticulum which has Ribosomes attached to it.
Smooth ER – Endoplasmic Reticulum which does not have Ribosomes attached to it.
Golgi Apparatus – acts like the postman of the cell. It processes and packages proteins & lipids to send out to other parts of the cell, and throws out garbage through the membrane.
Lysosome – the garbage collector of the cell which takes in damaged parts of the cell and dissolves them.
Nucleus – the command center of the cell which contains DNA.
DNA – genetic code which tells the cell what to do and how to do it.
Chromosomes – packaged DNA braids which are formed to help prepare the cell for duplication.
Nucleolus – the portion of the nucleus which creates ribosomes.
Target Audience
The game is suited for young learners who like exploring science and biology through interactive games.
