Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Fluid mosaic model state that the membrane is highly a mixture of phospholipids and proteins.
The biological model, which was devised by Seymour Jonathan Singer and Garth L. Nicolson in 1972, describes the cell membrane as a two-dimensional liquid that restricts the lateral diffusion of membrane components.
It is a lipid bilayer (two molecule thick layer consisting primarily of amphipathic phospholipids) in which protein molecules are embedded. The phospholipid bilayer gives fluidity and elasticity to the membrane.
