It is a concept used to describe the structure of biological cell membranes and is proposed by S.J. Singer and Garth L. Nicolson in 1972
Fluid Mosaic Model
It acts as a barrier, controlling the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
Plasma/ Cell Membrane
This part of a phospholipid is hydrophobic.
Fatty Acid Tail
This part of a phospholipid is hydrophilic.
Phosphate Head
This component of a cell membrane influences the membrane's flexibility and preventing it from becoming too rigid or too fluid.
Cholesterol
This component of a cell membrane is found in the form of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
Carbohydrate
This component of a cell membrane has two types: integral and peripheral
Protein
It is a double layer of phospholipid molecules that forms the basic structure of cell membranes.
