Membrane Student Modeling Pack^©

Students can individually explore cell membranes and the role of transport proteins in moving ions and small molecules. Students will:

• Compare and contrast models of phospholipids
• Discover the spontaneous formation of cell membranes
• Create a micelle and liposome potential for drug delivery
• Explore dehydration synthesis reaction in a triglyceride or phospholipid
• Identify and simulate the function of proteins involved in membrane transport
• Investigate passive and active transport
• Simulate how a cell maintains ionic balance
