Answer (2)

The fluid mosaic model refers to the theories surrounding the the way in which cell membranes are structures. According to the Dluid Mosain model, cell membranes are composed of phospholipid bilayers joined together. The word 'fluid' in its title refers to the fact that some parts of the membrane are able to move around freely.

The fluid mosaic model explains the structure of cell membranes as a flexible layer of phospholipids with interspersed proteins that can move freely. This dynamic nature allows the membrane to perform crucial functions for cell communication and substance transport. It was introduced in the 1970s by Singer and Nicolson.
