Please select the correct function of this organelle. Skin of the cell that defines its boundary. Organelle that makes lipids, stores proteins and sends them to Golgi complex. Large fluid filled space in the cell where organelles can be found. Powerhouse of the cell it produces ATP. Cell Biology Video Games, Virtual Labs & Activities Cell Explorer: The Animal Cell. Explore the microscopic world of the cell in your mini ship! Vial's evil plan to destroy cells as you battle against his army of cell-destroyers! Learn about cell organelle structure and function while having fun!
In this series of games, your students will learn about the different organelles in the cell and the functions they perform. The Parts of the Cell learning objective — based on NGSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research.
The next Splinter Cell game was unveiled as part of Facebook Connect, which highlighted the new Oculus Quest 2 along with a raft of software planned for the new headset. Oculus announced a. 10 Splinter Cell 3D. Released in 2011 for the Nintendo 3DS, Splinter Cell 3D is a port of the critically acclaimed Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory that released in 2005. In terms of visuals, the 3DS handled the port of a great looking game very well. All the missions were intact and the Sam Fisher’s tools of espionage and surprisingly open levels.

Concepts Covered
Cell Games Power Levels
Cells contain specialized structures, called organelles, that perform specific functions. Prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, do not have many organelles, while eukaryotic cells have defined organelles. All cells have a semi-permeable cell membrane that lets them absorb nutrients and get rid of waste.
The nucleus is an organelle that contains the cell’s genetic information, DNA. It serves as the command center of the cell.
Mitochondria generate the energy the cell needs to perform its functions. They are commonly known as the “powerhouse” of the cell.
Ribosomes create proteins necessary for the cell to function. They float through the cytoplasm or are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
The rough ER, with ribosomes attached to it, is the site of protein synthesis. The smooth ER makes hormones and stores and synthesizes lipids.
Cell Game
The Golgi apparatus packages substances like proteins that are needed elsewhere in the cell or in the body and sends them there.
Lysosomes contain enzymes that help the cell’s digestive processes.

Entertaining & Informative, but Tedious Gameplay
May 15, 2014
Really like that this game combined scientific simulation with a humorous storyline, and that it introduces cell functions one at a time, and gives quick info about what each organelle can do. After a while though, crawling around collecting resources, and clicking on buttons to make/recycle things, gets to be a bit of a bore, and the gameplay declines into tediousness. I'm aware that this is likely more to do with the Flash Player format's limits than with the game developers' intent, though, but as a future note, please make the controls feel more like you are the cell, rather than just poking and prodding it into moving and making things via point-and-click. Another negative point that's a bit misleading to me: We can't have a cell with just a membrane and cytoplasm, as every cell starts with chromosomes, and a nucleus first, from Mitosis, and we can't just insert organelles to make a cell function. I'm aware this was done to introduce organelles in a step-wise fashion, but since this game is meant to educate, the beginning levels don't accurately portray what we would start out with when a new cell is made. Other than those issues, this game is ready for further development, and has a lot of potential to be developed and sold as a full-fledged game on Steam.
