EDVOTEK™ Origami Organelles Cell Signaling Model

Description

• The fight or flight response relies on a fast reaction to the hormone adrenaline (epinephrine)
• One of the responses for liver and muscle cells is to quickly break down glycogen into glucose as an energy source
• Cell signaling is crucial for this to happen
• Your students will make a model of the cell signaling pathway that leads from the hormone receptor to the enzyme that breaks glycogen down
• It covers G protein-coupled receptor, G protein, cyclic AMP as a second messenger, phosphorylation, and protein structure
• By using dynamic models what can seem complex becomes clear
• Origami Organelles are downloadable paper models that you print and make as many times as you like
• When you purchase a model, provide an email address for the PDF to be emailed to and then you are licensed for unlimited use on a single site or campus
• Dimensions: 28 cm x 23 cm (11 in
• x 9 in.) Download includes: instructions, model templates, and PowerPoint file All you need: paper, scissors, and tape
