The Cell Membrane Kit contains materials to address the following concepts: 

• Phospholipid chemistry and structure   • Hydrophilic heads   • Hydrophobic tails     • Saturated vs. unsaturated fatty acid chains • Types of membrane proteins    • Transport proteins- channels, gated channels, and pumps    • Recognition proteins    • Enzymes    • Receptor proteins    • Attachment proteins • Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions in forming a phospholipid bilayer • Control of membrane fluidity by cholesterol molecules • Roles of glycoproteins and carbohydrates in cellular recognition Included in this kit you will find the following pieces: Phospholipids in a Bilayer (10) Individual Phospholipids (6) Enzyme (1) Helix Protein (1) Channel Protein (1) Gated Channel Protein (1) Pump (1) Receptor Protein (1) Water (10) Salt (2) Sugar (10) Signal Molecule (2) Cholesterol (2) Glycolipid (1) Carbohydrate (1)
