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)

Cell Membrane - Printable
Our printables are delivered as a single downloadable PDF with multiple pages per kit. Pages are black & White and when the 8.5 x 11 pages are printed at 100%, they will be approximately the same size as the desk kits pieces. These are great for homeschoolers, you can print and cut them out to use. They are also useful for distance learning over Teams and Zoom, students in class and students at can be taught at the same time with same pieces per kit.
