What else can I help you with?
What are the molecules that give the cell membrane a mosaic structure?
protein molecules in the cell membrane gives the mosaic structure .
What term describe structure of a cell plasma membrane because of its oily nature and embedded protein?
fluid mosaic
What does the word mosaic refers to in the fluid mosaic?
The term "mosaic" in the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane refers to the diverse and dynamic arrangement of different molecules, such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, that make up the structure of the membrane. Just like tiles in a mosaic artwork, these molecules are arranged in a pattern that allows for flexibility and fluidity in the membrane's structure and function.
What did Scientist call the modern view of the cell membrane structure the what?
Scientists call the modern view of the cell membrane structure the fluid mosaic model. This model describes the cell membrane as a fluid-like structure composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move and interact with each other, giving the membrane its mosaic appearance.
Who put forward the name of fluid mosaic model?
Well. According to my Biology book and what I've learnt in school, the fluid mosaic model is proposed by Singer and Nicholson in 1972 in order to describe the structure of the plasma membrane.
What is the name of the model developed by scientists to describe the arrangement of molecules within this structure?
The model is called the fluid mosaic model. It describes the structure of cell membranes as a fluid lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that move freely within the membrane.
The fluid mosaic model describes the plasma membrane as a structure that is liquid and very rigid?
I heard this is true. We're probably doing the same biology homework :)
Describe the structure of a cell membrane-?
The out side of all animal cells. because all the plant cells have a cell wall outside them and after the cell wall there is the cell membrane.its is not completely visible by the microscope. SZK
What is described by the fluid mosaic model?
The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane in cells. It states that the membrane is composed of a fluid bilayer of phospholipid molecules in which various proteins are embedded or attached, resembling a mosaic pattern. This model emphasizes the dynamic and flexible nature of the membrane.
Why Structure of the plasma membrane reffered to as a fluid mosaic?
i think because it a non compleat structure i think because it a non compleat structure
In an attempt to visualize the fluid mosaic model of a membrane you could describe the phospholipids as floating in a sea of carbohydrates?
To visualize the fluid mosaic model, imagine the phospholipids as a fluid structure, with proteins embedded within them like mosaic tiles. The carbohydrates surrounding the phospholipids represent glycoproteins and glycolipids on the surface of the membrane. This visualization helps illustrate the dynamic nature of the membrane and the diverse components that make it up.
Which model of the plasma membrane is currently the most accepted?
The fluid mosaic model is currently the most accepted model of the plasma membrane. It describes the plasma membrane as a dynamic structure composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that are able to move and interact within the membrane.
