• Resumen

  • Understanding how the electron transport system makes ATP from the transfer of electrons by coenzymes is improved when students play a hands-on electron transport system game. The game requires students to play the parts of the electron carriers and coenzymes, demonstrating where and how electrons move through the system. This game looks at the big picture of what is occurring in the ETS and is intended for prenursing and predietetics students in a one-semester organic and biochemistry (OB) course or a one-semester general, organic, and biochemistry course (GOB). Many institutions offer these types of courses and the students need to have a good understanding of biochemistry to succeed in the health related professions.
