n 7th Grade Science, we learned that bubbles and cell membranes share a large resemblance with each other. This is because both bubbles and cell membranes are both flexible, very thin, and self-healing. Each class did an experiment showcasing how bubbles can relate with cell membranes. Our teacher, Mrs. Simmonds, also taught us that we can model how cell membranes work throughout experimenting with bubbles. Examples of these experiments are putting a loop of string on top of the bubble and putting a pencil though the string, and blowing smaller bubbles inside a bigger one. These examples represent protein channels in the cell membrane, and the bubbles modeled membrane-bound organelles, which are inside the cell membrane too.
