Plasma Membrane - Labeling and Coloring
Directions
Use your notes and the labels under the picture to help you label the parts of the fluid
mosaic model for the cell membrane!
Once you have all of your cell pieces labeled, use the key below to color in your cell
membrane. Make sure to color all of the pieces- some of them appear more than
once. Notice how all of the pieces of the cell membrane fit together like a mosaic
piece of art? That is why it is called a mosaic model!
