Phospholipid & Membrane Transport Kit©
Product Code: PMTK
$50
Membranes and cell processes become memorable as students build and revise their models.
⚠ Warning
Description
Students uncover the structure and function of phospholipids, how cell membranes form, and how water and ions move in and out of cells via transport proteins. This is a kit you will use over and over as your curriculum progresses to deepen student understanding.
- 50 individual phospholipid molecule models demonstrate hydrophobic and hydrophilic concepts to create monolayers, micelles, and bilayers
- Water molecule models show polarity and how water interacts with cell membranes
- Bilayer membrane model creates a cell structure that is flexible yet sturdy
- Active and passive transport is made easy with 5 different proteins, ion models, and ATP
