From www.freewebarcade.com, my 15 year old daughter is playing CellCraft. She complains it insidiously educates her. She just yelled, “I need more ATP! Who makes ATP?”
“The mitochondria,” I answered.
“Thanks,” she said, and grumbled that she was running low on nucleic acids. And amino acids.
“This is a Super Cell,” she told me. “It has both chloroplast and mitochondria.” Her dad looked at us blankly as we chuckled at the joke.
