The singer and Nicholson molel for the cell membrane structure is called the fluid mossiac model because the lipids are able to move from one location to another by a process called transverse diffusion and there are proteins (intergral and peripheral) that are present in the libid bilayer, which gives it a mossiac appearance.

Explain the fiuid mosaic model of the cell 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 sothat the mosiac or pattern of lipids and proteins changes. Because of these characteristics scientists call their model of the dynamic cell membrane the fluid the fluid mosiac model.
What is a lipid and protein model that is used to explain the components and properties of the plasma membrane?
fluid-mosiac modelramon C.Fluid mosaic model
What describes the fluid mosiac model?
The relationship between the proteins, lipids, and hydrophobic/philic integral parts of the cell's plasma membrane
What is the name for mosiac pieces?
They're called 'tiles'
What is the structural model of the plasma membrane called-?
structural model of plasma membrane is called the selectively permeable membrane Structural model of the plasma membrane is called Fluid Mosaic Model.
Why is a cell membrane also called a mosaic?
because it boarders the cell like a mosiac
How is the current state of the Mosiac web browser?
The current state of the Mosiac web browser is discontinued. Development and Support of the Mosiac web browser was discontinued in January of 1997. However, you can still download the browser from the NCSA website.

Which model of the plasma membrane is currently the most accepted?
The fluid mosaic model, of corse!
Who are the scientists Singer and Nicholson?
They developed the currently accepted model of the plasma membrane of a cell in 1972 at the University of California, San Diego. Their model is called the Fluid-Mosaic Model.
