Cell Energy Board Game - Emma, Thanu, and Fernanda

Ages - 8+ Players - 2 to 8 Contents: Gameboard, Dice, Tokens Rules: Each player selects a token and lines up at the "GO". Prior to the game, each player will receives 5 ATP as compensation to spend throughout the game. As a player lands on a colored space, using the provided dice, they have to answer a question (+) correctly to buy a house on that property. Make sure to keep track of your ATP after your turn each round. Every time another player lands on your property, they have to pay 1 ATP as rent. When landing on a space with a symbol on it, the outcomes varies. When landing on a lightbulb, you gain 1 ATP! The heart makes you share your points with a player of your choice. The clock skips your turn and makes you wait. When a player lands on the "transition" square, it's time to reroll the dice. Whether or not the number that the player rolled is odd or even dictates which question you must answer on that square. Play the game to find out what the rest of the symbols do! Every time you pass the "GO" you gain 3 ATP as a prize! The object of the game is to see who has the most property and the most amount of ATP at the end. Click on the Learn More to have a deeper understanding of the two cellular processes. Most importantly, have fun in Cellopoly!

You got stuck in the matrix! Go back to the beginning and lose all the ATP you got in this round. Unless...Question: In what locations does anaerobic respiration occur? Answer: The entire process of anaerobic respiration or in other words lactic acid fermentation takes place in the cytoplasm of a muscle cell (If Correct) Continue with no punishment

Question: Describe the process of Anaerobic Respiration Answer: When the mitochondria recieves little to no oxygen, the process of anaerobic respiration begins. There are two types of ways in which this process manifests itself: alchoholic fermentation in yeast, and in the cell lactic acid fermentation. NADPH is oxidated in order to use its electrons to break down pyruvates into lactate, thus, generating lactic acid in the cell. Cost: 6 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: How are the products of cellular respiration recylcles? Answer: The products of cellular respiration which include: carbon dioxide, ATP, and water are reused in the process of photosynthesis and become reactants. Cost: 6 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: Explain What happens when the photons of light hit photosystem I? Answer: Absorbs the photons, which causes the electrons to get excited. Then, caught by a primary acceptor but now, you reduce NADP+ to NADPH for the Calvin Cycle. Cost: 2 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What is the relationship between the light-dependent and light-independent reactions?Answer: After the light-dependent reactions, the process results in the products of ATP created in the ATP synthase and NADPH. These become two out of the three reactants of the light-independent reactions; the third product being carbon dioxide. Eventually, the Calvin cycle creates glucose along with two other products. These two other products are none other than ADP and NADP+ which are then recycled to be used again in the light-independent reactions. Sharing is Caring!(If Correct) Give 2 ATP to a player of your choice

Question: What is the function of Phase 2 in the Calvin Cycle?Answer: ATP and NADPH are used to convert the 3-PGA molecules into G3P Cost: 3 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What is the main function of the Krebs Cycle? Answer: To generate ATP for the cell Cost: 4 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What role does the electron transport chain play? Answer: It pumps Hydrogen Ions into the thylakoid space which are then forced to go through the ATP synthase which creates ATP through phosphorylation. Cost: 2 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What is the full form of ATP and what is it's function?Answer: Adenosine Triphosphate and it creates energy for the cell Cost: 3 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What process generates the most amount of ATP out of the two?Answer: Cellular Respiration Cost: 6 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: Explain the process when Photosytem II gets hit by light? Answer: Absorbs the photons, which causes the electrons to get excited. Then, caught by a primary acceptor which then oxidizes the water to replace the electrons and get rid of oxygen. Cost: 2 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What is Phase 3 of the Calvin Cycle is most known for?Answer: RuBP, a molecule that starts the cycle is regenerated so the cycle can continue Cost: 3 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: How does chemiosmosis contribute to the Krebs Cycle? Answer: The ETC in Cellular Respiration creates a proton gradient when it pumps hydrogen ions into the intermembrane space, they eventually travel back into the matrix through the ATP synthase which converts ADP into ATP. Cost: 4 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What does the process of Glycolysis do?Answer: Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvates Cost: 2 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: How many pyruvates are formed from one glucose? Answer: 2 pyruvates Cost: 4 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What is the chemical notation for water? Answer: H20 Cost: 2 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question #1 (Odd): Explain the relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?Answer: Products that are made in the process of photosynthesis that include oxygen, glucose, ADP and NADPH are utilized in the process of cellular respipration to make ATP. Products of cellular respiration such as water, carbon dioxide, ATP and NADP+ are recyled and used once more in photosynthesis Question #2 (Even): Identify and explain the chemical equation for both processes Answer: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H1206 + 6O2 (vice versa for cellular respiration) Carbon dioxide and water is converted into glucose and oxygen through photosynthesis. Glucose and oxygen is broken down into carbon dioxide and water during cellular respiration.

Question: How does this process occur? Answer: ETC pumps Hydrogen Ions into the thylakoid, and then forced back to moved back into the stroma. Then, go down the ATP synthase which creates ATP through phosphorylation Cost: 3 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What is the Chemical Notation for Glucose?Answer: C6H12O6 Cost: 2 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What is the Chemical Notation for Carbon Dioxide? Answer: CO2 Cost: 2 ATP Rent: 1 ATP

Question: What is the name of the Enzyme that catalyzes the 5-carbon molecule called ribulose-1 5-bisphosphate (RUBP) Answer: Rubisco Enzyme Cost: 3 ATP Resnt: 1 ATP

Question: What is the NADPH most known for?Answer: It is a carrier to support electrons through the ETC Cost: 2 ATP Rent: 1 ATP
