Want this question answered?
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 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.
The cell membrane.
hydrophobic proteins.

The fluid mosaic model, of corse!

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.
Texture? Its structure is a fluid mosaic..
it is? lol
