Which of the following is a principle of the fluid mosaic model of cell membrane structure?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of the fluid mosaic model is that phospholipids form a bilayer that is largely impermeable to water-soluble molecules. This allows for the selective transport of molecules across the membrane. The model also states that proteins are embedded within and fluidly move throughout the lipid bilayer, rather than being contained in a layer on the outside of the cell. The phospholipid bilayer is also fluid, not solid, at body temperature. The structure of the phospholipid molecule consists of a polar head and a nonpolar tail made of two fatty acid chains, not three.
