It is a dynamic fluid structure that is in constant flux
The Fluid Mosaic Model is used to explain the components and properties of the plasma membrane. This model describes the plasma membrane as a dynamic structure composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move and interact within the membrane.
The plasma membrane.
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
The fluid mosaic model is commonly used to explain the structure and function of the plasma membrane. It describes the membrane as a fluid lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move laterally, giving the membrane its dynamic nature. The model helps illustrate how the plasma membrane controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
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.
