What is the name of the model that is used to explain the structure cell membrane?

its a bi-lipid membrane, so its two sheets of fatty acids back to back. there are also steroids intermixed in the membrane and receptors sticking out of the cell that activate upon contact with various chemical receptors. they "activate" in different ways, but basically they trigger different chemicals or enzymes to be formed inside the cell. im not sure what model is used, models are only made to simplify a problem, but scientists basically know how most cells work, so im not sure what model is needed. There is a mathematical model of water diffusion through cells. that's based on concentration of solute on either side of the cell wall.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe fluid mosaic model. It is called this because the components of the membrane, mostly phospholipids (with proteins, cholesterol, etc. in between), can move around and so appear fluid.

What is the structure that surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell?
The structure that controls traffic to and from the cell is the plasma membrane. It is not to be confused with the cell wall, which serves more to give structure to the cell.
Components of the cell membrane constantly shift. The model describes this characteristic of the cell membrane.?
Yes, the Fluid Mosaic Model of the cell membrane describes this characteristic.
Which cell structure controls what enters and leaves the cell?
The selective permeability of the cell membrane
Which structure of a cell helps in maintaining homeostasis by moving things into or out of a cell?
The cell membrane controls what substances go in and out of the cell. It is basically the most important structure when talking about homeostasis.
This structure is the outermost boundary of the cell and is semipermeable?
Plasma membrane or cell membrane

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
Is unit model and Robertson's model of cell membrane alike?
the unit membrane model is robertson's model of the plasma membrane (cell membrane)
How does the cell membrane structure is design and explain how that helps keep water from leaving the cell?
osmosis and diffusion. i hope this answers your question. :)
What did Scientist call the modern view of the cell membrane structure the what?
it might be Fluid Mosaic Model
Can you clearly see the membrane as a structure?
Yes, the cell membrane can be seen clearly as a structure. The cell membrane is called the plasma membrane and is a barrier between the cell and its environment.
Components of the cell membrane constantly shift. The model describes this characteristic of the cell membrane.?
Yes, the Fluid Mosaic Model of the cell membrane describes this characteristic.
What are cell structure?
Cell membrane, vacuole, nucleus are all part of a cell. They are the cell structure.#doesntmake sence
What structure controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell?
cell membrane
How do properties of lipids help explain the structure of the cell membrane?
Lipids do give cells membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and the cell surroundings. Hence, the lipid surrounds the structure which then forms the shape of the cell.

What are the fluid mosaic hypothesis of the eukaryote cell?
The protoplasm of every living cell is enclosed by a plasma membrane. It holds true for both simple prokaryotic cell, or the complex eukaryotic cell. The plasma membrane not only serves as a protective covering for the cellular components, but is also a crucial structure for transportation of nutrients and communication between the cells. In order to explain the structure and functions of biological membranes, the fluid mosaic model was proposed in 1972 by S.J. Singer and Garth Nicolson. The model of cell membranes explains the structural components of biological membranes. Besides this model, several theories pertaining to the plasma membrane structure had been developed. But, none of them are as acceptable as the fluid mosaic model of Singer and Nicolson. According this model, the cell membrane contains different types of protein and carbohydrate molecules embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.
