Skill:
1.3.S1: Drawing of the fluid mosaic model.
[Drawings of the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure can be two dimensional rather than three dimensional. Individual phospholipid molecules should be shown using the symbol of a circle with two parallel lines attached. A range of membrane proteins should be shown including glycoproteins.]
Objective:
Draw and label the structure of membranes. Include:

Objective:
Draw and label the structure of membranes. Include:
- Phospholipid bilayer
- Integral proteins shown spanning the membrane
- Peripheral proteins on membrane surface
- Protein channels with a pore
- Glycoproteins with a carbohydrate side chain
- Cholesterol between phospholipids in the hydrophobic region
- An indication of thickness (10nm)
