All the steps that makes a molecule of sugar, oh so sweet it is. This 3-D Lego-Dice Nintendo model shows all the molecules needed to make a single glucose. It really is like one wacky Willy Wonka' Factory inside the Stroma of the Chloroplasts of plant cells.
The Nintendo icons act as the power up molecules that help keep things running. The sugar shuffle is separated below so you can try and make sense of the process. The dots on the Lego-Dice represent the number of Carbon atoms in each molecule. The are stacked because that is how many molecules are need to run the whole miracle machine.
Flags are used in these models to show the goals in each process. Enjoy!
