AP Biology students used bubbles to explore how cell membranes work.
Bubbles are a great model because, like cell membranes, they are fluid, flexible and can repair themselves. Each bubble has two layers of soap molecules with water trapped in between .Cell membranes have a similar design called a phospholipid bilayer. The “heads” of the molecules love water, while the “tails” avoid it. Just as a bubble separates the air inside from the air outside, a cell membrane separates and protects the inside of the cell while controlling what enters and leaves.
