Fluid  Mosaic  Model  in  a  Tub  

1.  What  does  each  part,  as  well  as  the  whole  model,  represent?  (looking  for  the  men:on  of  cell  membrane  components).  

2.  Working  in  pairs  create  a  summary  chart  (in  your  notebook)  lis:ng  all  the  components  of  a  cell  membrane  and  their  various  func:ons.  You  should  organize  the  chart  in  whatever  way  makes  sense  to  you.    

Example  Organiza/on  Chart:    

Possible  membrane  components  for  your  chart:  Phospholipids  (phospho-­‐head,  and  fa@y  acid  tails)  Cholesterol  Integral  Proteins  with  receptors  Transporta/on  channel  Intercellular  joining  Peripheral  Proteins  with  cytoskeletal  a@achments  Cytoskeletal  fibers  Recogni/on-­‐  glycoproteins  

**  Any  cell  membrane  structures  not  displayed  in  the  model?
