  • This component of a cell membrane has two types: integral and peripheral
    Protein
  • 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 is a double layer of phospholipid molecules that forms the basic structure of cell membranes.
    Phospholipid Bilayer
  • This part of a phospholipid is hydrophobic.
    Fatty Acid Tail
  • It acts as a barrier, controlling the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
    Plasma/ Cell Membrane
  • This component of a cell membrane is found in the form of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
    Carbohydrate
  • This component of a cell membrane influences the membrane's flexibility and preventing it from becoming too rigid or too fluid.
    Cholesterol
  • This part of a phospholipid is hydrophilic.
