Hotspot info-only example: Yosemite Valley

Hotspot gala!  New, November 2021, Qwizcards version 3.65.  We’re highlighting our new user-interaction options — all things hotspot.  You can define active areas of an image with hover and/or click responses.  Our first example we call “info only” – it shows additional info when you hover on a hotspot area.  Give it a try!

“Click-on challenge”

Our second example is a “find the right item” quiz.  You’ll see a prompt at the bottom for the item you should click.  In addition, a timer makes this activity a competitive challenge that our students have liked very much!

[h] Cellular Respiration Click-On Challenge

[q json=”true” xx=”1″ question_number=”1″ dataset_id=”cellular-respiration-click-on-challenge|2cc72646f3558″ hotspot_user_interaction=”label_prompt”] The clock at top right will time this quiz.  A “fastest finish times” leaderboard and graph comparing times for students in a class will be displayed when you’re done.  (In this case, the students/times are just demo data; in all cases students are not named.)

Phosphate groups

Excellent. The phosphate groups are at number 3.

HINT. What letter does “Phosphate”  begin with.
Ribose

Nice job. Number 1 is the 5 carbon sugar ribose.

Hint: Ribose is a 5 carbon monosaccharide.
Adenine

Nice! “2” is adenine

HINT: Adenine is a nitrogenous base. Look for nitrogen.

ATP

Excellent! You clicked on ATP

HINT: ATP has three phosphates attached to the ribose sugar.
ADP

Way to go! That’s ADP.

HINT: ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate. Diphosphate means “two phosphate groups.”
Energy for transforming ADP + P into ATP

Fabulous. A represents energy for transforming ADP + P into ATP

No. Which arrow could represent energy for combining ADP and P into phosphate?
Energy for cellular work

Way to go. B represents energy available for cellular work.

HINT: When ATP (with three phosphates) becomes ADP, energy becomes available for work.  What arrow shows ATP becoming ADP. 
Inorganic phosphate

Excellent!

No. Look for a phosphate group that’s not attached to a sugar and a base.

Highlighted hotspots

Our last example shows another user interaction – image objects are highlighted and labeled on hover.  Notice that we’ve very precisely defined particular parts of this diagram – and it’s easy to do!  We have a “paint fill” feature for defining irregular hotspot areas, as well as options for ellipse, rectangle, and hand-drawn areas.

cell membrane

 

No. The membrane is the boundary of the cytoplasm, but inside the cell wall.
cell wall

 

No. The cell wall is the outmost part of a plant cell.
cytoplasm

 

No. The cytoplasm is the fluid that fills the inside of the cell, holding all the organelles.
chloroplast

 

No. The chloroplasts are filled with the green pigment chlorophyll, and they’re responsible for photosynthesis.
Central vacuole

 

No. Look for a large, membrane-bound organelle filling most of the cell’s volume.
mitochondria

 

No. The mitochondria are cell-like structures in the cytoplasm. Their inner membrane is highly folded.
Golgi complex

 

No. Look for a stack of flattened sacs.
Smooth E.R.

 

The smooth ER consists of membranous channels, but without ribosomes. 
Rough E.R.

 

No. the rough ER consists of membranous channels outside the nucleus, studded with ribosomes. 
Nuclear membrane

 

 The nuclear membrane surrounds and protects the chromosomes. 
Nucleolus

 

The nucleolus is a spot within the nucleus where ribosomes are made.
Chromosomes

 

No. The chromosomes are inside the nucleus. They’re (incorrectly) represented here as if the cell were dividing, with an “X” like shape.
