The lipids molecules that form the membrane are fluid. They can move about relative to one another in a fluid manner. Some of the proteins are also free to move about so that the mosaic or pattern of lipids and proteins changes. Because of these characteristics scientists call their model of the dynamic cell membrane the fluid the fluid mosaic model.

Proteins make a pattern on the surface known as?
Proteins make a pattern on the surface known as the fluid mosaic model.
What is described by the fluid mosaic model?
The cell membrane.
Why is called the fluid mosaic model?
Fluid refers for the frequent lateral movement of phospholipids within the membrane. Mosaic refers to the collage of intrinsic proteins that stud the membrane.
Types of proteins in fluid mosaic model?
hydrophobic proteins.
What model describes the characteristic of the cell membrane?
Fluid Mosaic
Proteins make a pattern on the surface known as?
Proteins make a pattern on the surface known as the fluid mosaic model.
Which model of the plasma membrane is currently the most accepted?
The fluid mosaic model, of corse!
Because the phospholipid molecules and some proteins are free to move the plasma membrane is said to be?
fluid mosaic
What does the fluid mosaic model describes?
It describes the structure of the cell membrane. It is called fluid because the individual phospholipid molecules can move freely within their own monolayer. It is called mosaic because of the pattern produced by the scattered protein molecules when the membrane is viewed from above.
What is described by the fluid mosaic model?
The cell membrane.
What is the membrane referred to as the fluid mosaic?
cell membrane
Why is called the fluid mosaic model?
Fluid refers for the frequent lateral movement of phospholipids within the membrane. Mosaic refers to the collage of intrinsic proteins that stud the membrane.
The movement of protein molecules within the phospholipids bilayer is described by the?
fluid mosaic model
Fluid mosaic model of a cell membrane?
Its called "the fluid mosaic model" of the cell membrane. This describes the clumping together of phospholipids to form rafts and their motion (along with single phospholipids) throughout the membrane.
What is the texture of a lipid bylayer?
Texture? Its structure is a fluid mosaic..
Why is the cell model referred to as the fluid mosaic model?
it is? lol
Types of proteins in fluid mosaic model?
hydrophobic proteins.
