PART 3.
Directions: Following the Fluid Mosaic Model of the Cell Membrane, design your
own model specifying the use of indigenous materials. Draw your blueprint below.
Make sure that in your design, the structural components of the cell membrane are
labeled properly. Use the rubric as your guide. (5 points)
