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:

Cell Membrane - Board Kit
Each of our board kits are printed on a 20mil thick, white magnetic material, that is also laminated to be dry erase. Each piece is die-cut to the finished size (so no prep work needed). The total approxmate size of all the pieces combined is 48" x 72" (if using all the pieces on a board at one time).
Each piece across all our board kits are designed to be approximately the same size, so they work in conjunction with each other.
