Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The currently accepted model of membrane structure is the fluid mosaic model, which describes the membrane as a fluid structure with various proteins and lipids interspersed throughout, creating a mosaic-like pattern. The lipid bilayer and unit membrane models are outdated and have been replaced by the fluid mosaic model. The lipid raft model refers specifically to areas of the membrane that have high concentrations of specific types of lipids and proteins, and is a subcategory of the fluid mosaic model.
