CELL STRUCTURE & FUNCTION
Grab your students’ interest with Flinn’s interactive cell models
and kits and kick off a year of engaged learning.
D. Phosphilipid and Membrane Transport Kit
Students discover the spontaneous formation of membranes with this hands-on 3-D
kit that explores the chemical structures of a phospholipid and lets them construct
a phospholipid monolayer with its hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.
FB2149—$53.55
A. Plasma Membrane Model
Bring the fluid mosaic membrane to life as students view the molecular structure of
phospholipid molecules and the membrane as a whole. Rock the model back and
forth to demonstrate the fluid nature of the membrane.
FB1768—$59.25
B. Cell Membrane Permeability—
Student Laboratory Kit
Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides study of yeast cell permeability and cell
membrane function. Students use an indicator to observe which substances the
cell membrane allows, offering evidence for active versus passive transport.
FB1907—$43.65
C. Diffusion Demonstration Model
The semipermeable membrane in the center of this functioning diffusion model
allows the passage of “small” molecules while keep “large” molecules trapped on
one side. Shake the model and watch the dramatic increase in volume on one side.
FB1573—$23.45
Introduction to Osmosis and Diffusion—
Student Laboratory Kit
Passive cell transport comes to life as students create an artificial cell with dialysis
tubing and simulated cellular fluid with dye and glucose. Diffusion through the
membrane is observed; mass and volume measurements prove osmosis takes place.
FB1870—$44.85
Dialysis Fundamentals—Student Laboratory Kit
Introduce osmosis and diffusion as students use a starch and NaCl colloidal
solution to observe dialysis and semipermeable membrane diffusion, separate
inorganic salt from a colloid and test for chloride ions and starch.
FB0435—$50.15
