Provide a brief definition of each in the notes section. Review the tour of the animal cell and refer to this labeled diagram of an animal cell.
4. [Slide 3] A labeled diagram of a phospholipid bilayer, AKA the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. Click on the link to review the structure and function of the phospholipid bilayer that makes up the cell membrane. Include a brief discussion of the molecules that make up phospholipids and how water facilitates the arrangement of the phospholipid bilayer (Hint: the terms "hydrophobic" and "hydrophilic" are important).
