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.

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 Fluid Mosaic Models used for?

The fluid mosaic model is created by many phosopholipids joined together. Additionally proteins with carbohydrates attached lie on the surface. For extra information these proteins are called glycoproteins. The fluid mosaic model is just another qord for the plasma membrane or cellular membrane. It is called so because it IS fluid and from the top looks like a mosaic. So to answer your question they are just used to regulate the inner cell environment and allow substances to enter and exit the cell.
