<strong>Oreo</strong> Membrane Models: BILL BOOK1. Describe how the <strong>Oreo</strong> can be a model of acell <strong>membrane</strong>. Include the following wordsin your description:CookieFillingHydrophilicHydrophobicHeadTailPhosphateGlycerolFatty acidBilayer
<strong>Oreo</strong> Membrane Models: BILL BOOK2. Use a Sweet Tart to add an integral protein toyour <strong>Oreo</strong> <strong>membrane</strong> model. Draw a sketch ofyour model and label:HydrophilicHydrophobicPhospholipid headsPhospholipid tailsIntegral protein
<strong>Oreo</strong> Membrane Models: BILL BOOK3. Use icing as glue to add TWO peripheral proteins(Jelly beans) to your <strong>membrane</strong> model. Add andlabel the peripheral proteins on your drawing.
<strong>Oreo</strong> Membrane Models: BILL BOOK4. Use icing as glue to add a Nerd candy to ONEof the peripheral proteins.– What do you think the Nerd candy is modeling?– Add and label this structure on your drawing.
<strong>Oreo</strong> Membrane Models: BILL BOOK5. Where are <strong>membrane</strong> proteins made in thecell?6. How do <strong>membrane</strong> proteins get to the cell<strong>membrane</strong> from where they are made?7. Where are the sugars (“glyco”) added to theproteins in the cell?
<strong>Oreo</strong> Membrane Models: BILL BOOK8. Scientific <strong>models</strong> have limitations. In whatways is your model different than an actualcell <strong>membrane</strong>?
