Fluid mosaic is a term used to describe the current model of the cell membrane. Cell membranes are basically double layers (bilayers) of molecules called phospholipids. 'Floating' in the phospholipid bilayer are molecules of protein. a mosaic is a structure made up of many different parts. Viewed from above the membrane would look something like a mosaic - a 'sea' of lipid with many 'islands' of protein. The lipid bilayer is not rigid, and the lipid and protein molecules are able to move sideways in the membrane ie the membrane is fluid. This model of the cell membrane was proposed by Singer and Nicolson in 1972, and has been suported by many experiments since then. For further details see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_membrane http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/BioBookCELL2.html
membrane are composed of a lipid bilayer. their hydrophobic tails face the inside of the membrane and their hydrophilic heads face their environment.
"Passive" mean that it does not require energy, therefore the passive transport of material across the membrane means that it can transport the material (cells or whatever) without the function of energy across the membrane.

This membrane is called the fluid mosaic model as it is a mixture of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins and carbohydrates. Most of the membrane is composed of phospholipid molecules. These allow the membrane to be rather fluid.Embedded in this membrane are proteins which give some structure to the membrane. The 3rd components are proteins or glycolipids.The proteins sort of float on the surface of the membrane like islands in the sea.
membrane, is a type of brain that function to think what to do.
What is meant by the statement You cannot teach ethics?
a partially permeable membrane allows some molecules or ions to pass through it
fluid-balance
African ethics is at crossroads the statement true.why.explain what you think is meant by the statement and give reasons for such a phenomenon?
