Tessera(e)
That is the name. Unless you have another name in mind. Sometimes it is called the fluid mosaic model or the cell membrane.
A mosaic is made up of small pieces of colored materials, such as glass, tile, or stone, called tesserae. These tesserae are arranged and fixed onto a surface to create intricate patterns or images. The process of creating a mosaic involves careful planning, cutting, and placing the tesserae to form the desired design.
The plasma membrane is referred to as fluid mosaic because it is made up of a fluid lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that constantly move and shift in a mosaic pattern. The lipids and proteins can move laterally within the membrane, leading to its fluidity and dynamic nature.
A glass mosaic is a decorative piece or artwork created by arranging small colored glass tiles or pieces to form a pattern or image. This technique has been used for centuries in art and architecture to create intricate and colorful designs.
That is the name of the current model of cell membranes. It was named like that because of the structure of the membrane; billions of tiny phospholipids group together in what is called a bilayer, and resemble a mosaic. These phospholipids move and "drift", thus allowing certain substances through as gaps in the membrane open and close. This movement is where the fluid part of the name came from.
Another name for colored mosaic glass is "glass tesserae." These small, colorful pieces of glass are used to create intricate mosaic designs in art and architecture, often found in decorative applications like murals, floors, and windows.
