1. Color the phospholipid heads red.
2. Color the phospholipid tails yellow.
3. Color the cholesterol molecules yellow.
4. Color the transport protein (channel) dark blue.
5. Color the other membrane proteins light blue.
6. Color the glycoprotein carbons orange and the attached sugars green.
7. Color the glycolipid carbons orange and the attached sugars green.
8. Color the cytoskeleton filaments green.
9. Label all proteins as integral, surface, or peripheral:
- The transport protein (channel) is an integral protein.
- The other membrane proteins are integral proteins.
- The glycoprotein is an integral protein.
- The glycolipid is a peripheral protein.
- The cytoskeleton filaments are surface proteins.
