Chapter 2: The cell membrane and cytoskeleton

Read Ellen McHenry's chapter on what forms the cell. Watch The inner life of the cell. From the chapter we've read, can you identify the phospholid molecules, lipid rafts, microtubule highways and odd shaped proteins?

She also recommends white blood cell chases bacteria and videos on the cytoskeleton.

I'm not pretending to understand all of this... but that's not stopped me before. We'll follow the activity about marshmallows in water and make a motor protein pen.

And I think it will help at this point if we can collaborate to think up a recipe for a CELL CAKE.
